Title: Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin
Description: London, William Miller; J. Hatchard , 1807. Leather. An influential collection of poetry from the 'Anti-Jacobin' publication, which greatly opposed the French Revolution. The fifth edition In a half calf binding with marbled boards and gilt lettering to the spine. The Anti-Jacobin was a weekly English newspaper founded in 1797 in opposition to what was seen as the radicalism of the French Revolution. Many of the poems found in this collection are humorous in nature; strongly satirising the state of affairs both abroad and at home. Despite only being published for a year, it was highly influential, as the British political scene was outraged by the killing of Louis XVI. Poems included in this collection are, 'Brissot's Ghost', 'Ode to Lord Moira', 'The Soldier's Friend', 'Sonnet to Liberty', 'Ode to Anarchy', and more. The half title page is present.

Ink number and light spotting to the reverse of the front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages lightly age-toned but otherwise very bright and clean with just the odd spot. Good .
