Small 8vo, pp xxxii, 228, 36 (ads); uncut; folding aquatint frontispiece and 5 aquatint plates; original paper-covered boards, somewhat worn, with a collage-like label on the spine; top of spine chipped away; a good copy; text and plates clean. "A new edition. In which will be found, amongst other pleasant and satirical novelties, an introduction; a description of the plates; illustrative anecdotes from my "Tour through Holland" in 1806; an appendix, containing three MSS. found in St. Patrick's Abbey; and An Essay in defence of bad spelling." Abbey, Life, 279 for the third edition of the same year:" A satire on Sir John Carr's Stranger in Ireland: first published without plates. This, the third edition, contains the first report of the action for libel that was unsuccessfully brought by Sir John Carr against the publishers of this book." This "new edition" is likely the second as there is no report here of the action for libel.
