Octavo, original brown cloth decorated in gold, black & blind, brown coated endpapers. 268 pp + 4 pp publisher's catalogue 'Mr. William Tegg's Catalogue of Popular Works; London, Pancras Lane, Cheapside" bound in at the rear. With a hand-coloured frontispiece and five small woodcuts by George Cruikshank in addition to twenty three extremely curious full-page engravings. Cloth worn at the corners with inner boards showing; lightly rubbed but clean and sound, the hinges tight, a nice copy. Uncommon.
