Fine copy of a rather inferior reprint. "The author having been attached to the sod at a very early period of life - and having lived in a part of the country high in repute for that noble bird, the Game Cock; where as great a variety of birds were exhibited in all their various process of refinement as any individual amateur could enjoy, he flatters himself that by such superior means of collecting information his attempt at writing "The Cocker" will be found to contain not only instruction, but be a source of amusement to the reader".

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Facsimile. 'Burton-on-Trent: Printed and Published by J. Croft, High Street; and Sold by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London, 1814' [IN FACT A LATER - c.1900 - FACSIMILE REPRINT]. 8vo (measures 8.3" x 5.4" approx.). 154,[2]pp. Coloured frontispiece (with hand-coloured cockerels). Decorative tail-pieces to text. §This copy is extra-illustrated with eight hand-coloured plates, comprising two double-page plates (numbers 3 & 4) from the 'Cock Fighting' series by Henry Alken; five plates (one folding) of individual cockerels or varieties (including 'Phenomenon', 'The Cheshire Pile', Streaky Breasted Red Dunn, Blackbreasted Dark Red, and 'Yorkshire Hero') by Benjamin Marshall, & 'Tom, Jerry & Logic backing Tommy the Sweep at the Royal Cockpit' by Robert & George Cruikshank. The Alken plates are c.1900 reprints; of the Marshall plates the three portraits are c.1900 reprints, the other two appear to be earlier; and the Cruikshank plate is from an early 19th century edition of Pierce Egan's 'Life in London'. §The work was first published in 1793, & an expanded second edition followed in 1814 - of which this is an unstated facsimile. Bodleian Library suggests 1914 as the publication date (i.e. the centenary); British Library suggests 1924. The frontispiece of the facsimile is not always found coloured. The second half of the volume comprises headed blank forms in sections such as 'Pedigree of Brood Cocks, Hens, or Pullets', 'Names and Characters of all my Cocks', 'Bags in Stock', 'Cash Account', etc., for the owner to fill in.
