Three works in one volume, 4to, pp. vii, [i], 23; [iv], 28; 18; the second poem signed in ink (on p. [iv]) by the author with his initials A.K. ('the better to prevent surreptitious copies'); finely bound in full red morocco gilt by Riviere (neatly rebacked, preserving original spine), gilt edges and turn-ins, plain dark blue endpapers. First edition of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, one of the most famous poems of the century - a brilliantly evocative and socially reflective poem with lines that many who have never read it will nonetheless find familiar: 'Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay' (p. 4). The last four lines, supplied by Goldsmith's close friend Samuel Johnson, are also plangent. This is the true first edition, and in fine complete condition, with the half title. Bound with this are two early imitations, much less common than the original. Anthony King (1742-97) was the son of a future Lord Mayor of Dublin, Sir Anthony King, and had been educated at Trinity College; he must have read for the English bar, but later in life practised in Dublin. This is his earliest known work, dedicated to Goldsmith '(in whose acquaintance he is personally honoured)'. He took precautions against piracy by signing copies on the back of the title page - his fears seem to have been well-founded, as an unauthorised edition 'printed by Obadiah Pirate, in Black-Boy-Alley' is also known, and perhaps had preceded this printing. Of this authorised edition, ESTC locates no copy at the BL and just four copies in England; and five copies in North America (Harvard, McMaster, Yale, Illinois and Minnesota). Later still, there were two more piracies produced in Dublin (1784 and 1797). The third book in this volume is by the American writer Thomas Coombe (1747-1822). Born in Philadelphia, Coombe was ordained into the Church of England and felt that this barred him from disloyalty to the Crown by supporting American independence: he sailed to England in 1779 and spent the rest of his life in Britain and Ireland - just before this poem was written, he had been chaplain to Lord Carlisle as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and the poem combines his experiences of Ireland and America. The poem pictures Edwin, who has been exiled from his native land, coming to America, the promised country of hope and plenty; but there he only finds war and danger: 'Brothers 'gainst brothers rise in vengeful strife, The parent's weapon drinks the children's life. Here, as I trace my melancholy way, The prowling Indian snuffs his wonted prey. Ha - should I meet him in his dusky round - Late in these woods I heard his murderous sound - Still the deep war-whoop vibrates on mine ear, And still I hear his tread, or seem to hear.' (pp. 16-17). Goldsmith: Rothschild 1032; Temple Scott p. 248; Williams, p. 147. Coombe: Adams, American Controversy, 83-27. Seller Inventory # 18291
