Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 10 short books and pamphlets bound together. The binding is broken into sections, as noted below.

Two blank pages loose. A third page with handwritten (partial) table of contents also loose. Half title page to The Caution loose.

Hornblower & Maberly: For Infrignement on Mr. Watt's Patent for the Improvement on the Steam Engine By Joseph Bramah, engineer. London. John Stockdale. 1797. 90 pages. None available. Bramah wrote a book on locks in 1785 and patented several items in the late 1700s. Watt's patent on the steam engine was in 1769. Hornblower invented a compound steam engine in 1781, but it was judged to be an infringement on Watt's patent, so he was not able to pursue it, even though it was more efficient and more powerful than Watt's. This short book is a detailed explanation of why Hornblower's work is original and why the judgement against him should be reconsidered. ** A Reply to the Monthly Reviewers; and some letters between them and the Author By A Suffolk Freeholder.

2 vols., 8vo., pp. viii, 326; iv, 349, [1], plus final advertisement leaf; engraved vignette of the comedic mask to the title; light offsetting throughout, a few blemishes to the titles, else a very good copy in contemporary half calf, lightly rubbed, chips to two corners of the spine label to vol. I without any loss of lettering, headcaps frayed; contemporary ink ownership inscription to titles.First edition of the earliest biography of the actor and singer John Edwin the elder (1749-1790), written by his friend, John Williams, journalist and author of the satirical collection of verse portraits The Children of Thespis (1786). Williams published both works under the pseudonym 'Anthony Pasquin' (Oxford DNB).Although Edwin is primarily remembered for his comic roles Dromio in The Comedy of Errors, Touchstone in As You Like It and the original Silvertongue in The Belle's Stratagem he took several tragic roles with, less celebrated, comedic effect. One such instance is recalled here: 'The next character he assumed was Romeo; but for want of a proper side scene, the lady, who enacted Juliet, was under the irksome necessity of delivering her amorous extacies from a ladder Edwin being then but a sort of novice in making love, and not knowing the delicate customs of Mantua, placed himself too immediately under the fair object of his idolatry, who was obliged in consequence to pay more attention to her petticoats than her author' (vol. I, pp.206-7).Williams had been a pupil under the engraver and caricaturist Matthew Darly, and many of his works are 'illustrated with frontispieces and vignettes drawn and/or engraved by him' (Oxford DNB); the vignette on the title of the present work is probably one such example.
