First edition. Chapbook. Self wrapper, untrimmed. Pictorial woodcut vignette on title of, presumably, the Gentlemen of the Quizzical Society around a table laden with food and drink at "The Country Club." A very nice copy. First edition. These small, inexpensive eight-page booklets were often illustrated with woodcuts and printe…d on coarse laid paper with horizontal chain lines. Chapbooks (called garlands if they included songs) were a popular form of entertainment in the 18th and early 19th centuries and the principal way that ordinary people encountered songs and poetry. They were distributed by traveling "chapmen" who sold the books at markets and door-to-door in rural areas. Chapbooks often included poems by more than one author, and the authors were not identified. . OCLC: 1012015510 .

First edition. Chapbook. Self wrapper, untrimmed. Pictorial woodcut vignette on title of a woman and a man in swirling landscape. A very nice copy. First edition. These small, inexpensive eight-page booklets were often illustrated with woodcuts and printed on coarse laid paper with horizontal chain lines. Chapbooks (called garla…nds if they included songs) were a popular form of entertainment in the 18th and early 19th centuries and the principal way that ordinary people encountered songs and poetry. They were distributed by traveling "chapmen" who sold the books at markets and door-to-door in rural areas. Chapbooks often included poems by more than one author, and the authors were not identified. Although not identified, the prolific versifier Robert Burns has contributed two poems to this publication, "My Nanie, O," and "Up in the Morning Early.". OCLC: 1181008108 LOC: 2021666645 .
