rif. 2539London: printed by Elizabeth Sadleir in School-House-Lane; for Patrick Dugan Bookseller on Cork-Hill 1719. Hardcover. Good. . Octavo. 36pp. A8 B4-C4 D2. Third edition. Wrappers. ESTC T136523. A parody of Robinson Crusoe published the same year as that work Gildon's pamphlet contains a vitriolic attack on Defoe and his book. No love was lost between the two men who had a long-standing mutual animus: Defoe had attacked him as a rakehell and Gildon disliked Defoe's politics. Gildon was fundamentally a hack who was prosecuted for seditious libel a few years prior to this work although he avoided prison and pillory. Kate Loveman's Reading Fictions 1660-1740 contains an interesting analysis of this work noting how its critique ironically reflects both Defoe's own methods of criticism and the modes and mores of the coffee-houses. Three copies in the UK and two in North America. London: printed by Elizabeth Sadleir in School-House-Lane; for Patrick Dugan, Bookseller on Cork-Hill, 1719. hardcover

Contemporary mottled calf gilt rebacked in cloth preserving contemporary leather backstrip. A delightfully macabre work originally assumed to be by Matthew Gregory "Monk" Lewis but now assumed to be a parody. "The book is gruesome and in its illustrations even disgusting and it seems impossible that Lewis could have had anything to do with it.

1834rif. 57412NO OTHER COPY LOCATED - SATIRICAL LITHOGRAPHED PRINTS ON AN OXFORD DRUNK WITH VERSE PARODY OF WOLFE'S POEM ON A FALLEN HERO first edition folio 38.6 x 28.3 cms. 7 leaves of satirical lithographed drawings the lithographs on India paper sheets of ca. 23.5 x 19.5 cms. laid on the plain backing sheets as issued lithographed verse captions below the images buff coarse paper front wrapper with printed title as above inside a bold decorative printed border presumably lacks the rear blank wrapper slight foxing to the margins of the backing sheets four marginal splits no loss in edges of last backing sheet else very good. Lightly pencilled easily removable on each backing sheet and in places running on to the margins of the India paper are the original verses of Charles Wolfe's poem T'he Burial of Sir John Moore After Corunna' which are being parodied in the caption verses. Not located by Library Hub formerly COPAC. Library Hub does however locate a work reissue with the same title and imprint but dated 1836 in Oxford only and OCLC locates a copy in Yale of that same 1836 edition 7 plates. No other copy of this 1834 edition located. The title and date are taken from the cover. This satirical series of prints and verses describes how a drunken Oxford university official apparently the Marshal or possibly a don staggered out a drinking establishment without paying his bill pursued by the landlady and was discovered later that night lying unconscious in the gutter "with his Marshall cloak around him". The two finders and narrators carried him home on an old door undressed him and got him into bed with the help of his wife and daughter who lamented that he had spent all his money. Throughout all this the drunk remained unconscious "and we left him alone in all his glory". The verses parody those of the Irish poet Charles Wolfe's celebrated poem 'The Burial of Sir John Moore'. Wolfe's poem on the laying to rest of the military hero was in 8 verses and the parody is likewise in 8 verses one for each plate except for plate 2 which has two verses. Wolfe's original verses are lightly pencilled on the prints apparently at an early date and would be very easily removable. It seems likely that the front page of buff paper with the title was the front leaf of a bifolium with the other half folded around to create a rear wrapper but there is however no definite trace that such was the case. An interesting and very rare addition to the great corpus of British caricature in its golden age. At the lower left hand corner of each caricature is printed "Published by J. R. High St. Oxford". The title page states only "Published by J. R." without name of place. The publisher is almost certainly the printseller James Ryman who was established at 24 High Street Oxford from 1832 to 1865 or 1873. He published mezzotint portraits and views including one specially commissioned from Joseph Mallord William Turner. His coyness in not giving his full name on both prints and title page perhaps implies that the drunken figure depicted was a real and identifiable person in contemporary Oxford. The anonymity of the creator points in the same direction. The rarity may indicate that they were published only for the amusement of a small circle. Published by J. R. [James Ryman?] paperback
rif. 26846Without date or place. Late Victorian. 8vo 1 p. Text clear and complete. Fair on thin aged paper laid down on a sheet of backing. In small type with the 'old version' of the nursery rhyme in the left hand column transformed into a 'new version' of 78 lines of prose in the right-hand column. The first line - 'This is the house that Jack built' - is changed into 'This is the domiciliary edifice erected by John.' The 'priest all shaven and shorn' becomes 'the ecclesiastical gentleman the summit of whose pericranium was denuded of its natural covering'. Scarce: no copy in the British Library or on COPAC. [Without date or place.] [Late Victorian?] unknown

"Boz the Younger" signs in type the first two sketches: "Old Weller's Chapter of Fat and Sam's Visit to see the Goswell Street Cattle Show"; "Sam Weller's Description of the Proclamation of Victoria I." Each one page in length. Given at the time of this publication Dickens was immersed in Oliver Twist & Nicholas Nickleby we feel confident in saying this booklet was an effort to captialize on his burgeoning fame as Boz. A rather rare early 19th C. illustrated publication; at the time of cataloguing not found in any of the standard Dickens references not found on COPAC with OCLC listing just 3 institutional holdings of only 12 pages.

1701rif. 2506"A Gringuenaude i.e. Paris: chez Vincent d'Avalos & Fleurimont Mordant rue du Gros Visage a l'Enseigne du Privé Conseil attenant l'Hôtellerie de la Fleur" 1701. 12mo 129 x 76 mm. viii 64 pp. Half-title. Expressive woodcut vignette on title a chamber pot and its contents. Occasional very light spotting else fine. 19th-century citron morocco sides gilt panelled spine gilt lettered longitudinally turn-ins gilt gilt edges pair of vellum flyleaves by Koehler with his signature on verso of front free endpaper. First Edition of a silly scatological spoof. Farts excrement latrines and their Rabelaisian synonyms provide characters' and place names and an endless supply of windy jokes in this ultimately tragic love tale. The hero Prince Croqu'Etron Sht-eater son of the sneaky Roi de Vesse Silent-But-Deadly-Fart falls in love with the lovely Princess Foirette Diarrhea daughter of his father's enemy the open-hearted Roi Petaut Loud Fart. Abetted by King Vesse's minister Constipati whose secret liaison with one of Foirette's governesses Lady Clisterine Enema makes him take the Prince's side Croqu'Etron persuades his father to replace war with dynastic marriage a gentler path to territorial aggrandizement. Love vanquishes all King Petaud gives Prince Croqu'Etron a handsome commode chair and the Kingdom of Caca finds peace but the newly married lovers meet their demise at the hands of the evil Prince Gadouard Manure who drowns them in vats of perfume and is punished by the king with the opposite fate being buried alive in you know what. This clever extended dirty joke complete with satirical preface and facetious printing permission dated from Laval 1 Sept. 1701 and a final selection of verses sung at the royal marriage at some point became associated with the fairy tale author Mlle. de Lubert ca. 1702-ca. 1779 whose style it appears to parody. Either through a misunderstanding or as a joke the book was even sometimes attributed to her notwithstanding both its contents and the date of the permission d'imprimer. This is the only 18th-century edition but the book's publishing history was garbled by Gay who describes two 18th-century editions dating the supposed first ca. 1701 based on the facetious permission and a second edition from ca. 1790; according to Gay only the second edition contains the section titled Contes et devis. which appear in this edition on pp. 56-64. Confused library cataloguers have thus dated this edition to ca. 1790. Its typography however points to an earlier date. Stanford University holds a manuscript of the text from the Phillipps collection with textual variants dated 1716. Reprints appeared in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

1903rif. WRCLIT79861London: Heinemann 1903. Two octavo volumes. Pictorial olive green cloth stamped in red and black. Frontispieces and illustrations by "S.R." i.e. Stafford Ransome. Cloth a bit rubbed and soiled with some pale stains to the image on the upper board of the second front free endsheet of second volume neatly excised small punctures/scrapes at toes of spine cat scratching otherwise good and sound. First edition of these parodies of ALICE. by the prolific journalist and miscellaneous writer written with the unspecified collaboration of M. H. Temple. Both are primarily political satires the product of frustrations about the Boer War and the British government of the time. Begbie went on to support pacifists and conscientious objection to the Great War and put himself out front with a vigorous defense of the reality of the supposed apparition of the Angel of Mons. The initial volume of this parody was so successful that by the time of the appearance of the second the first was in its tenth 'edition'. Heinemann hardcover books
