(Steele, Sir Richard).
THE FUNERAL OR, GRIEF A-LA-MODE. A Comedy. Bound With: THE TENDER HUSBAND; OR, THE ACCOMPLISH'D FOOLS. A Comedy
Two Plays bound together: 162 p. Continuous pagination. Early ownership of J. Waldier, 1774, on first title page. Bottom margin of The Funeral title page clipped. 12 mo. 155mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. Sir Richard Steele (ca. 1672-1729), was a famed english author and politician. The Funeral (first produced in 1702), with its patriotic motifs, apparently attracted the favourable attention of the King himself. The Tender Husband, a comedy, had a brief initial run in April 1705. It returned to Drury Lane for performances later in the year and remained a staple of the London stage repertory for many decades, without remuneration for the author. It is significant that Steele did not have another new play produced until many years later when he was a partner in the Drury Lane management and thus able to reap rewards both as author and as manager - DNB.

A review of the first edition (1838) says: "The writer is a coiner of words, and not always in the most grammatical of moods; the substance is preferable to the treatment, and, though often rather too horrible to please, we must accord the praise of considerable power and invention to the author." Another early review said: "We will not pretend to decide upon the merits of these whimsically unintelligible stories. The incongruous jumble of the scenes, and the still more involved hilarity of the style, baffle all our attempts to penetrate the meaning of the book. Its humour - for it is apparently intended to be humorous - is of the most riotous description ; a sort of uproarious slang, which shatters your animal spirits like the laugh of the hyena." We (in 2010) found it rather fun. LIT BX 6

THE MAN OF FEELING. A New Edition.
pp. vi, 245. Small 8vo. 160 mm. Paper age toned. Contemporary (likely original) full leather binding. Front board almost detached. Early manuscript ownership of H. Laight. Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831) a Scottish novelist and miscellaneous writer, known as the 'Addison of the North.' Mackenzie had attempted to interest publishers in what would become his first and most famous work, 'The Man of Feeling' for several years, but they would not accept it, even as a gift. Finally, Mackenzie published it anonymously in 1771, and it became instantly successful. His "Man of Feeling" is a weak creature, dominated by a futile benevolence, who goes up to London and falls into the hands of people who exploit his kind innocence. In contrast to the masculine ideals of the Age of Reason, it inaugurated a vogue for a new kind of hero - a sensitive male. The book looks forward to the kind of Romantic- era heroes who were unashamed to weep. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! VERIA 2

This setting has the title page with a small version of the royal arms; and on the verso a large, full page, engraved version; and the last line of D4v begins: as ever'. **Short contemporary Ms. note on title: 'This p'lament began Apr. 16, 1640 & was dissolved May 5 folowing.' Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London. Possibly written by John Finch, Baron Finch of Fordwich (1584-1660), Speaker of the House of Commons and Lord Keeper. STC (2nd ed.) 9262; Thomason, E.203[1]; Lincoln's Inn.
