  • Hardcover
Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, London. 1807.. Hardback.. Hand-coloured plates by Thomas Rowlandson. Bound in green leather by Riviere & Sons. Gilt decoration to spine. VG (covers lightly worn). Satirises a trend for depressing essays and prints such as the "miseries of . . ." series first published in book form by James Beresford. I guess maybe he didn't get on so well with Britton . . .
