Salisbury: Sealy and Hodson. 1773.

First edition. 8vo. 196x123mm. pp. [iv], 256. Contemporary half calf, marbled paper covered boards, rebacked, morocco label lettered in gilt. Rubbing to boards and bumping to corners. Internally very good but with some browning and closed tears to K2 and K3 (which also has a tear with loss to top margin). Overall a nice copy of a light and amusing collection of poetry and prose to keep while the hours spent travelling in a post chaise. An interesting provincial imprint, one imagines that the respectable folk of Salisbury and the surrounding countryside were just the target audience for this sort of thing.
