London: Printed for J Johnson, 1808. Third edition, corrected. 12mo, [6], [1] - 280 pp, two engraved illustrations in text. Later (nor recent) quarter calf & patterned cloth over boards with a gilt-lettered maroon morocco spine label.

Lightly rubbed, brief wear at corners, bookplate of Captain Todd, Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) at front pastedown, a couple of leaves roughly opened causing small losses in the margins (text unaffected), occasional soiling internally, still Very Good.

A collaborative effort which is apparently mostly the work of Maria Edgeworth which "rejects an English stereotype of Irishmen and portrays them accurately in realistic, everyday settings" (Fauske & Kauffman/ An Uncomfortable Authority, p. 44)
