A few minor marginal stains. A very fine set of the rare first issues. William Combe (1741-1823), "prolific English writer of miscellaneous prose and satirical verse whose poem The Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque (1812) was one of the most popular books of early 19th-century England.Dr. Syntax was introduced in 1809 in The Poetical Magazine. Combe's first Dr. Syntax book and its successors, The Second Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of Consolation (1820) and The Third Tour.in Search of a Wife (1821), satirize the many 18th- and early 19th-century writers whose 'Tours,' 'Travels,' and 'Journeys' were vehicles for sententious moralizing, uninspired raptures, and sentimental accounts of amorous adventures. The popularity of Combe's work owed much to the illustrations of Thomas Rowlandson. Combe and Rowlandson also collaborated on The English Dance of Death (1815), which contains some of Combe's best verse, and The Dance of Life (1816-17)" (Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature). Abbey, Life, 266 and 267; Tooley 427, 428, and 429.
