About this Item

First edition, 12mo, pp. viii, 168; original blue paper-covered boards, cream paper shelfback, printed paper label on spine; boards stained, but otherwise, a very good, sound, and clean copy. "A set of verse epistles attributed to writers ranging from a servile creature of the Tories to a passionate champion of Ireland, with some light relief from Miss Biddy Fudge, a young lady of fashion" (ODNB). The book depicts the visit of the fictional British Fudge Family to Paris, where the daughter Biddy had fallen in love with a young man whom she had taken to be the King of Prussia but was in fact a draper. The last 20 pages consist of "occasional pieces" of poetry by Moore which "have already appeared in my friend Mr. Perry's paper, and here, 'by desire of several persons of distinction,' reprinted.".
