Spine heavily rubbed with loss at head; boards rubbed, occasional browning to endpapers, scattered light foxing throughout, front flyleaf torn with one half excised, minor creasing to two leaves, tiny tear to one leaf, but overall still tight and clean. A scarce copy of both works in these early bindings.. 100 pp.; 197, [1] pp. Illus. with b/w engravings. 24mo (13 cm.). Hayley's poem was first published in England in 1771 and many engravers undertook to illustrate it including William Blake and Peter Maverick (1780-1831) -one of three printmaker sons of a printmaker- an engraver of bookplates, maps, bank notes and book and magazine illustrations, who took as an apprentice Asher B. Durand with whom he established a partnership between 1817 and 1820. He designed the plates for the Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York using the then new process of lithography. OCLC lists only 11 copies. Bound with Sotheby's Constance de Castile (Boston: Published by West and Blake; Greenough and Stebbins, printers, 1812). Shaw & Shoemaker 26781.
