[GAY, JOHN]. Gay's Fables, in one volume complete.
London [but Gainsborough printed by Mozley] 1805. 12mo (in sixes) unlettered sheep (spines ends a bit worn); [12],202pp, wood engraved ills throughout. A few spots. ¶ Not Bewick, often blobby but not without life and charm. With what would seem just to be an advert for W. Grey, grocer, tea dealer and tobacconist of Morpeth inside the front cover - but is actually his bookplate: it quotes Sir Walter Scott on friends returning books.
