About This Item
Philadelphia: Carey, Lea, & Blanchard, 1835. Published under the pseudonym "Thomas Brown," this is the work of Thomas Moore (1779-1852), who is sometimes known as the "national poet" of Ireland. Also a musician, his melodies were wildly popular in the 19th Century, and he also wrote a history of Ireland. His first book on the Fudges came out in 1818, and was very popular. This sequel, a satirical verse novel, was less successful, and copies are VERY SCARCE. This is a Very Good (minus) copy of the First American Edition. Cloth binding, originally purple but faded to tan on the spine and edges. Paper label on the spine, a bit scuffed but perfectly readable. Clean text; 178 pages, very minimally foxed. There is a previous-owner signature on the front paste-down and a second one (dated 1902) on the FFEP which has been covered with a pasted paper label [the signature showing through].The book, while complete, is in delicate condition. The front gutter has cracked, and while everything is holding together, it should receive some strengthening. [Please note the condition issues. Quercus must offer this book as a Binding Copy, in need of restoration or repair] Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. First American Edition.. Hardcover. Very Good Minus/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
