It is a vibrant satire which sees an orangutan as a member of parliament. Sir Oran visits Melincourt where he meets the heroine of the tale Anthelia Melincourt. Other themes in this satire include consumerism the dangers of paper-money the value of chivalry and the boundaries between humans and animals. Bound without the half-titles.With the bookplate of John Phillips Beavan to the front pastedown. A rare work and one of Thomas Love Peacock's best satires. In a half calf binding with paper covered boards. Externally very smart with light patches of rubbing to the head and tail of spines. Bookplates to the front pastedowns. Internally firmly bound.
