Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Presumed First Edition Thus. 1821. No edition stated but presumed first thus (we understand that other editions by various publishers appeared in the same year). viii, 173pp., frontispiece showing David Haggart while under sentence of death, and a facsimile of a note handwritten by Haggart. David Haggart (1801-1821), born in Edinburgh, was a fairground pickpocket and thief, he frequented race-courses and was imprisoned for theft six times, but usually escaped from jail. On the last occasion he killed a warder at Dumfries in 1820 and fled to Ireland, where he was captured, sent back to Edinburgh for trial and hanged. Twelve days before the trial he was visited in prison by George Combe, the phrenologist, and between the trial and his execution he partly wrote, partly dictated, an autobiography, which was published with Combe's phrenological notes as an appendix, and Haggart's own comments. The book is bound in the publisher's original grey paper covered boards with a paper title label on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with expected signs of its age. The boards have shelf wear with some soiling and the top corners are bumped with some damage and loss to the paper around the corner tips. The bottom corners are lightly bumped. The spine ends are bumped with a little damage and the paper covering the spine edges is worn with a thin split on the top and bottom 1 1/2" of the front spine edge. There is a thin partly repaired split down most of the rear spine edge. The contents are tight and clean apart from a few small marks and stains and foxing to most of the pages and the frontispiece. The foxing is generally light to moderate although some pages are more heavily affected. There is a small bookseller's label on the top corner of the front fixed endpaper but no inscription.

[2] pp.; 10.6 x 13.9 cm.; black-and-white; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; photocopy / xeroxed Two sided postcard / announcement published in conjunction with show held December 4, 1991 - January, 1992. Curated by Kenny Schachter. "One of his earliest exhibitions, ''''''''Unlearning,'''''''' sought precisely to turn the prevailing construct upside down. Invading a former plush Greene Street gallery, Schachter took down the velvet ropes that had kept visitors from the storerooms and offices. Art went everywhere: Rachel Harrison presented a collection of used tampons in the pristine print drawers. Schachter sold sandwiches, had a row of bus seats installed and kept the doors open seven days a week. He also showed his own work, perhaps the supreme faux pas of the gallery world." -- from "The Do-It-Yourself Dealers," by Ellen Pall in The New York Times , September 1, 1996. Artists included Kenny Schachter, Ricci Albenda, Dan Asher, Jeff Brown, Devon Dikeou, Andy Dunnill, Spencer Finch, Saskia Friedrich, Bob Goldman, Beth Haggart, Rachel Harrison, Jonathan Horowitz, Laurel Katz, Same Kunce, Simon Ungers, Jarg Geismar, David Kelleran, Alix Lambert, John Lekay, Eva Mantell, Sean Mellyn, Lois Nesbitt, Kellie O''''''''Bosky, Steven Pollack, Paul Ramirez, William Saylor, Kerri Scharlin, Frank Schroder, David Shaw, and Maura Sheehan.

Haggart (spelled Hoggart in our account), lived a life "though so short" nevertheless "old in infamy; and his story unfolds as undeviating a course of wickedness as ever disgraced human nature" (4). The frontispiece depicts Haggart's murder of Morrin, the jailer. The BMC assigns a provisional date of 1825 to this account; other libraries assign dates as early as 1821 and as late as 1827-1831.
