About this Item

First edition, v, [7], 160; partially unopened; original gray paper-covered boards, printed paper label on spine; label darkened, corners bumped; generally very good. The second of two published collections of verse by Rhodes, both published in Coventry. Includes a 4-page subscribers list, largely local. Dedicated to "the Nobility and Gentry." In his prefatory Address, Rhodes promotes loyalty and patriotism, and "a proper, and perhaps laudably partial regard for our country: at a most eventful period, when she is assailed by an increasingly inveterate enemy whose unprincipled aims at universal aggrandizement are everyday more and more apparent." Very uncommon book. Copies are at the BL and Oxford in the UK, and in the U.S. only Stanford, Illinois, and UC Davis.
