Beschreibung:
Chichester: J. Seagrave for T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1803. Small 8vo, xii, 165 pp. With 6 engraved plates by William Blake after Maria Flaxman. Old calf panelled in gilt, rebacked ruled in gilt, black calf label, joints repaired, with the half-title, a good copy. § First edition with Blake's plates. DNB notes: "Possibly his greatest achievement, however, was his didactic poem Triumphs of Temper (1781), which 'was to reform the entire feminine mind of England by the advice' (Bishop, 53). This allegorical work aspired, in rhyming couplets, to teach young women the virtues of a pleasant nature. Its advice was heeded by some: Emma Hamilton thanked Hayley 'for the lessons she had learnt from the poem' (p.Jaffe, Drawings by George Romney, 1978, 44) and asked Romney to inform Hayley that his poem 'made me Lady H. ? for Sir W. minds more temper than beauty' (ibid.). Triumphs of Temper ran into fourteen editions and proved to be the most durable of all his publications." Essick, William Blake s Commercial Book Illustrations, XLIII.
