Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Hudibras was originally published between 1663 and 1678, and is Butler's classic satirical poem, which has remained admired and influential for over three centuries. This 18th Century copy is very smart indeed. Hudibras is a satirical poem by Samuel Butler, first published in parts between 1663 and 1678, that lampoons religious zealotry, political hypocrisy, and Puritanism in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Written in rhyming couplets and rich with classical allusions, the poem follows the misadventures of the self-important knight Sir Hudibras and his squire Ralpho. Celebrated for its wit, linguistic inventiveness, and sharp commentary, Hudibras was widely read throughout the 17th and 18th centuries and influenced later satirists, including Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. Hudibras in Three Parts. Written in the Time of the Late Wars. Corrected and Amended: With Additions. To Which are Added, Annotations, And an exact INDEX to the Whole.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. A smart volume of two, fascinating and very scarce nineteenth-century penny-print pamphlets relating to The Despard Plot, an attempted assassination of George III. Two fascinating early nineteenth-century pamphlets, both undated and relating to The Despard Plot to assassinate George III, foiled in 1802. Colonel Edward Marcus Despard was a former colonial administrator and the alleged ringlead of the The Despard Plot to assassinate George III. He was tried and executed for the crime in 1803, with much public outcry. Rebound in modern, paper covered boards with end papers renewed, original rear blank retained. Trial of Col. Despard with a hand coloured, folded frontispiece engraving of the trial. Collated, complete. The first pamphlet, The Memoirs of Miss Louisa Mansell, is a first person account of young woman who claims to be the lover of Colonel Despard. She alleges to have been cruelly tricked by a mysterious Miss Holmes, into meeting with Despard and loosing her virginity to him for thirty pounds. She then claims to have temporarily accompanied him to Fleet Prison. There is no record of this pamphlet on the ESTC or Library Hub Discover. Furthermore, there is no historical record of Despard ever taking a mistress. It is likely that this is a ficticious pamphlet, either invented to discredit Colonel Despard after his death and dissuade further rebellion, or simply produced to feed the popular demand for mass-produced 'penny prints' or, sensationalised and embellished criminal accounts. Despard was in fact married to Catherine Gordon, the daughter of a black free woman from Jamaica, with whom he had one son, James. She played an active role in garnering support for the conspiritors during their imprisonment and became a vital link between the prisoners and their sympathizers. Gordon was suspected to have smuggled contraband into the prison during visits to her husband, but the authorities were too afraid to search her. The second pamphlet, The Trial at Large of Col. Despard, also falls into the genre of the 'penny prints', documenting the trial day by day. It includes the glowing character testimony of Despard by Lord Admiral Nelson, a close friend and colleague of the accused. Despite the prosecution failing to produce substantial physcial evidence of the plot, Despard was execute on 21 February 1803, in front of crowd of approximately 20,000. Together, these pieces provide a fascinating insight into the nineteenth-century world of sensational, cheap print. Rebound in modern, paper covered boards with end papers renewed, original rear blank retained. Externally, excellent. With only very slight handling marks to boards. Internally, firmly bound, though the odd slight strain. Pages are age toned with the occasional handling mark or small closed tear to extremities. Previous owner's ink inscription to verso of first title page. Very Good Indeed. Not Stated (illustrator). book.…

He was an acquaintance and admirer of John Keats, who later referred to him as 'one of our party occasionally at Hampstead.' In 1817, John Gibson Lockhart used lines by Webbe as an epigraph to his infamous attack on Keats and Leigh Hunt in Blackwood's Magazine, 'On the Cockney School of Poetry;' which led Keats to privately denounce Webbe as a 'Poetaster'" (pennyspoetry[.]fandom[.]com). …
