VOLUME I ONLY of a two volume set. Collates as [front pastedown], [title leaf i-ii], [contents leaf iii-iv], v-ix, [blank verso], [1-3], 4-48, (page 49 mis-numbered as 46), 50-111, [112-115], 116-131, [132-134], 135-156, [157-158], 159-168, [169-170], 171-192, [rear pastedown]. Hardcover: H 17.25cm x L 10.5cm. Contemporary full…dark calf leather binding; boards well rubbed and stained with worn corners; spine head chipped ; surface chipping above and below spine's dark red title label with loss to label center as well but with remaining gilt lettering ("Pe__R | Pindar") still easily legible. Antiquarian ink writing on front pastedown; toning, foxing, staining to leaves with some occasional edge-wear; pages 103-116 strongly creased; long tear to pages 191-192 descending from gutter head 7cm into text with shorter tear at heel gutter at and fore-edge center. Missing front and rear free endpapers and perhaps an adjoining flyleaf or two (stub remnants of free endpapers present but no extra stub indicators of flyleaves); title leaf (as pages i-ii) is first full leaf present. Binding is firm. An OCLC citation (albeit not citing the holding institution) cites size as sextodecimo and pagination as ix, 193 whereas a Library of Congress citation is more specific citing Volume I as "ix, [1], 193, [1]" pages with successive Volume II being "[4], [195]-402." Either way this copy is missing its concluding text leaf (i.e. final text on recto plus blank verso). Bibliographical reference: Evans "Early American imprints; First Series" #23088. The Harvard and Yale online library catalogs share an interesting notation regarding their Spotswood and Rice 1790 stray Volume II copies in that both declare "no copy of v. 1 is known." Obviously this effectively countered by the LoC holding but, nonetheless, the paucity of OCLC listings is a good indictor of rarity of this particular 1790 Philadelphia imprint. It should be noted that Spotswood and Rice also issued a 314 page single volume of "The Poetical Works of Peter Pindar" in 1789 which shares the same pagination error for its page 49.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. London: Printed for the Author, and sold by R. Baldwin, 1778, (2), 8 pp; removed from binding; very light browning to first and last pages, with old waterstain at top edge; light foxing; pages trimmed; internally clean and sound. A latin tag from Horace is pasted below the last word of the ti…tle: "Carmine Di Superi placantur, Carmine Manes;" the gods above are pleased by song; by song the gods of hell" It is placed on because the typesetter apparently left off the first two words. While this short work is published anonymously, it is attributed to Peter Pindar; the pen name used by John Wolcot (1738-1819). John Wolcot was a physician to Jamaica in 1767, as the personal physician to the governor, SIr William Trelawny. A few years later, after Trelawny, Wolcot returned to England, left the church, and settled in Truro as a physician. While living there, he published his first work, "A Political, Supplicating, Modest, and Affecting Epistle to Those Literary Colossuses, the Reviewers" in 1781, he moved to London, and continued his literary career. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. A LOVELY POCKET SET. PINDAR, Peter [pseudonym of John Wolcot]. The Works of Peter Pindar, Esq. London, Published by J. Walker and J. Harris, 1809. 12mo, four volumes, each one with a half-title, frontispiece, engraved title page and regular title page with Peter Pindar s portrait being on the first volu…me. Ms. ex libris of Sir George-William Denys, Baronet, on front endpaper of each volume. Bound in a lovely gilt-ruled straight-grain red morocco (fourth volume with some worm tracking on front cover), inner dentelles, author and title to gilt spine, marbled pastedowns, a.e.g. A lovely set in a beautiful binding. Peter Pindar was the pen name of John Wolcot (9 May 1738 14 January 1819), an English satirist who found that poetry paid better than his medical profession. Indeed, though trained as a physician and practising medicine, in 1780, Wolcot went to London and began writing satires. The first objects of his attentions were the members of the Royal Academy. For the historian of the fine arts the relevant items are his Lyric and Farewell Odes to the Royal Academicians for the years 1782, 1783, 1785 and 1786 (pp. 9-133), in which the painter Benjamin West and all its other leading members are unmercifully satirised, and the opening poem in his Subjects for Painters (pp. 445-506), but the poems as a whole well repay reading, particularly those that ridicule the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks, King George III s, and the Abyssinian traveller James Bruce. Other objects of his attack were Boswell, the biographer of Samuel Johnson, Hannah More, former bluestocking and playwright, and Bishop Porteus. Wolcot had a remarkable vein of humour and wit, which, while intensely comic to persons not involved, stung its subjects to the quick. He had likewise strong intelligence, and a power of coining effective phrases. In other kinds of composition, as in some ballads he wrote, an unexpected touch of gentleness and even tenderness appears. Among these are The Beggar Man and Lord Gregory. He died at his home in Latham Place, Somers Town, London, on 14 January 1819, and was buried in a vault in the churchyard of St Paul s, Covent Garden.
