Leather. Zustand: Very Good. A scarce collection of the poetry of satirist John Walcot, bound from the parts and published between 1790 and 1792. Containing A Commiserating Epistle to James Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale; Odes to Mr Paine, Author or Rights of Man; More Money! Or, Odes of Instruction to Mr Pitt; Odes of Importance; Th…e Tears of St. Margaret; A Pair of Lyrical Epistles to Lord Macartney and his Ship; The Lousiad; and A Poetical, Serious and Possibly Impertinent Epistle to the Pope, In 1780, Wolcot went to London and commenced writing satires. The first objects of his attentions were the members of the Royal Academy, and these attempts being well received, he soon began to fly at higher game, the King and Queen being the most frequent marks for his satirical shafts. In 1786 appeared The Lousiad, a Heroi-Comic Poem, taking its name from a legend that a louse had once appeared on the King's dinner plate. Other objects of his attack were Boswell, the biographer of Samuel Johnson, James Bruce, the Abyssinian traveller, Hannah More, former bluestocking and playwright, and Bishop Porteus. Wolcot, who wrote under the nom-de-plume of "Peter Pindar", had a remarkable vein of humour and wit, which, while intensely comic to persons not involved, stung its subjects to the quick. He had likewise strong intelligence, and a power of coining effective phrases. In other kinds of composition, as in some ballads which he wrote, an unexpected touch of gentleness and even tenderness appears. The title page has been rebacked. Rebound in red calf binding. Externally smart, though some marks to the boards. Internally, fimly bound. Some closed tears to the pages, in places affecting the text, which have been repaired with tape. Pages have some scattered light spotting throughout. Overall: VERY GOOD with a good only interior. Very Good. None (illustrator). book.
