[BARHAM, RICHARD HARRIS, REV.]

The Ingoldsby legends. By Thomas Ingoldsby, Esq.

London, Richard Bentley, 1852. Fifth edition, 3 volumes, 8vo, orig. blue cloth, gilt decorated spines; a fine, bright set, with engraved title-pp. and 19 engraved plates after George Cruikshank and John Leech. See Cohn 50 for a description of the first edition of each series, issued in 1840, 1842, and 1847 respectively. ""Although he was continually throwing off humorous verse with great freedom and spirit, The Ingoldsby Legends would probably never have existed but for [Barham's] desire to aid his old friend and schoolfellow, the publisher Bentley, in Bentley's Miscellany, commenced under the editorship of Charles Dickens in January 1837 .. ""The Spectre of Tappington"" opened the series, and was speedily succeeded by a number of others, at first derived from the legendary lore of the author's ancestral locality in Kent, but soon enriched by satires on the topics of the day and subjects of pure invention, or borrowed from history .. The success of the Legends was pronounced from the first, and when published collectively .. they at once took a high place in humorous literature which they have ever since retained"" (DNB).

Stone talk ... being some of the marvelous sayings of a petral portion of Fleet Street, London, to one Doctor Polyglott, Ph.D. By Frank Baker, D. O. N.

London, Robert Hardwicke, 1865. First edition, 8vo, pp. [4], 121; original blue cloth stamped in gilt on upper cover and spine; rear hinge cracked, mild dampstain along fore-edge of front cover, heavier at the bottom corner, back cover also with mild spotting, spine darkened and top of spine chipped (touching the top of the letters "ne" in 'Stone," errata leaf not present; a good copy at best. Casada 62: "It is irreverent, satirical, and at times quite humorous. Burton strikes out, in trelling fashion, at many of his enemies and the constraints imposed by British society. The original is exceedingly rare.." Penzer, p. 77: "This work is a bitter satire, in blank verse, enumerating many of the crimes which England has committed, and castigating her hypocrisy. It is certainly one of the cleverest of all Burton's books, although it is practically unknown. It is very rare. Its scarcity is increased by the fact that Lady Burton bought up and destroyed a large number of the copies, to save her husband from possible trouble with the 'authorities' (see her Life, Vol. I, p. 392-5)." Burton's own copy did not have the errata leaf either. Only 200 copies were printed.
