Printed for Edward and Charles Dilly, in the Poultry; and G. Kearsly, at No 46, in Fleet-Street, London: 1777., 1777 pp. [2], iii, [1], 72, 81-206, [2], 209-232, [1](Advertisement for Dodd's books). Substantially in verse. Pagination irregular, but continuous. Foxed. 8vo. 21 mm. Original full leather binding; boards detached, but present. William Dodd (1729-1777) was an English Anglican clergyman and man of letters. He lived extravagantly and fell deeply into debt. He dabbled in forgery in an effort to clear his debts, was caught, convicted, and, despite a public campaign for a Royal pardon (led by Samuel Johnson), he became the last person to be hanged at Tyburn for forgery. His tale really struck an emotional and literary chord in England and America. This work was widely reprinted for many decades. This true FIRST EDITION is very scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
