Despite which, in effect, the production remains pretty much in original state. Williams led a remarkable career in writing and publishing, much of it in a fog of great controversy, starting around 1779, but his profile eventually induced the man, by default, to emigrate to the United States, winding up in Brooklyn, where he died in greatly reduced, abject circumstances.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition Mixed Issue. The author claims that the editions of the book that appeared earlier under the same title [1786], were Book seller fabrications published in order to destroy the chances of his original work. In the same year that this book was published, Williams sued a London bookdeal…er for publishing a libel by Gifford which read: "he was so lost to every sense of decency and shame that his acquaintance was infamy and his touch poison." The Judge of the case decided in favor of the bookdealer, declaring ' It appears to me that the author of "The Baviad " has acted a very meritorious part in exposing this man ; and I do most earnestly wish and hope that some method will ere long be fallen upon to prevent all such unprincipled and mercenary wretches from going about unbridled in society to the great annoyance and disquietude of the public '. After the trial Williams emigrated to New York where he edited THE FEDERALIST. He died in poverty and obscurity in Brooklyn in 1818. ESTC T42298. in a 20th century fine 1/4 calf and marbled boards by Alan Grace of Surrey UK, a very good crisp copy in tall 4to. in 3 parts. The poems each feature its own engraved title page, first published 1786 the figure in the center is a demon about to chastize a statue of folly. A Political and literary tour de force on the current state of affairs in 18th century, argument and controversay abounded about the Poems, ending in a trial, which the author lost, upon which he departed for America and become a supporter of the New Nation and its liberties, now free from the corruptions and biases of the old world, however Williams never attained his former fame in his new found home, and died in obscurity and poverty in 1818. John Williams (1761-1818) was an English poet, satirist, journalist and miscellaneous writer, best known by the pseudonym of Anthony Pasquin. He was born in London on 28 April 1761, and was sent in 1771 to Merchant Taylors' School.[1] There he was beaten for an epigram on Mr. Knox, the third master. At the age of seventeen he was placed with a painter, but he gave up art to become an author and translator. When he was about eighteen he wrote a defence of David Garrick against William Kenrick, earning Garrick's friendship. About two years later he went to Ireland, and during his time in Dublin edited several periodical publications. He attacked the government in the Volunteers' Journal during the administration of the Duke of Rutland, a prosecution was started against him in 1784, and he was obliged to decamp, leaving the printers to face the judgment. The same year (1784) he was associated with Henry Bate Dudley in the Morning Herald. A violent quarrel broke out between them, and Williams wrote a satire on his antagonist, for which he was prosecuted, though the action did not proceed. In 1787 Williams accompanied his friend Pilon to France, and on his return he started a paper called The Brighton Guide. He next settled at Bath, Somerset, but again left in a hurry. For some years he contributed influential theatrical criticism to some of the London newspapers. In 1797 he appeared in the Court of King's Bench as plaintiff in an action against Robert Faulder, the bookseller, for a libel contained in William Gifford's poem The Baviad. In one of the notes Gifford, speaking of Williams, observed that 'he was so lost to every sense of decency and shame that his acquaintance was infamy and his touch poison.' In this cause the plaintiff was nonsuited, based the proof that was given of his having himself grossly libelled every respectable character in the kingdom, from the sovereign down to the lowest of his subjects. Lloyd Kenyon, 1st Baron Kenyon, who tried the case, commended Gifford. Williams emigrated to America shortly afterwards, and edited a New York newspaper called The Federalist. He died a poor man of typhus fever in Brooklyn, on 23 November 1818. John Williams (illustratore). By the Binder.

Bramah wrote a book on locks in 1785 and patented several items in the late 1700s. Watt's patent on the steam engine was in 1769.

2 vols., 8vo., pp. viii, 326; iv, 349, [1], plus final advertisement leaf; engraved vignette of the comedic mask to the title; light offsetting throughout, a few blemishes to the titles, else a very good copy in contemporary half calf, lightly rubbed, chips to two corners of the spine label to vol. I without any loss of letterin…g, headcaps frayed; contemporary ink ownership inscription to titles.First edition of the earliest biography of the actor and singer John Edwin the elder (1749-1790), written by his friend, John Williams, journalist and author of the satirical collection of verse portraits The Children of Thespis (1786). Williams published both works under the pseudonym 'Anthony Pasquin' (Oxford DNB).Although Edwin is primarily remembered for his comic roles Dromio in The Comedy of Errors, Touchstone in As You Like It and the original Silvertongue in The Belle's Stratagem he took several tragic roles with, less celebrated, comedic effect. One such instance is recalled here: 'The next character he assumed was Romeo; but for want of a proper side scene, the lady, who enacted Juliet, was under the irksome necessity of delivering her amorous extacies from a ladder Edwin being then but a sort of novice in making love, and not knowing the delicate customs of Mantua, placed himself too immediately under the fair object of his idolatry, who was obliged in consequence to pay more attention to her petticoats than her author' (vol. I, pp.206-7).Williams had been a pupil under the engraver and caricaturist Matthew Darly, and many of his works are 'illustrated with frontispieces and vignettes drawn and/or engraved by him' (Oxford DNB); the vignette on the title of the present work is probably one such example. Language: English.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. A Pin-Basket to the Children of Thespis: part the fourth; Historical, Critical & Biographical; by John Williams, whose public appellation is Anthony Pasquin; London. Printed for H.D. Symonds, Paternoster-Row; and T. Bellamy. King-Street, Covent-Garden, 1797. The first part of this work was publi…shed in 1786. John Williams (17611818) was an English poet, satirist, journalist, and miscellaneous writer, best known by the pseudonym of Anthony Pasquin. The Dedication reads to the Noblemen and Gentlemen constituting that very Honorable Society, called The Literary Fund and it goes on for 28 pages. The poem, A Pin-Basket goes from page 29 to the Finis page 232. He was a very controversial person, tarting at a young age and continuing throughout his life. In 1771, he was beaten for an epigram on Mr. Knox, the third master. At the age of seventeen he was placed with a painter, but he gave up art to become an author and translator. When he was about eighteen he wrote a defence of David Garrick against William Kenrick, earning Garrick's friendship. About two years later he went to Ireland, and during his time in Dublin edited several periodical publications. He attacked the government in the Volunteers' Journal during the administration of the Duke of Rutland, a prosecution was started against him in 1784, and he was obliged to decamp, leaving the printers to face the judgment. The same year (1784) he was associated with Henry Bate Dudley in the Morning Herald. A violent quarrel broke out between them, and Williams wrote a satire on his antagonist, for which he was prosecuted, though the action did not proceed. In 1787 Williams accompanied his friend Pilon to France, and on his return he started a paper called The Brighton Guide. He next settled at Bath, Somerset, but again left in a hurry. For some years he contributed influential theatrical criticism to some of the London newspapers. In 1797 he appeared in the Court of King's Bench as plaintiff in an action against Robert Faulder, the bookseller, for a libel contained in William Gifford's poem The Baviad. In one of the notes Gifford, speaking of Williams, observed that 'he was so lost to every sense of decency and shame that his acquaintance was infamy and his touch poison.' In this cause, the plaintiff was nonsuited, based the proof that was given of his having himself grossly libelled every respectable character in the kingdom, from the sovereign down to the lowest of his subjects. Lloyd Kenyon, 1st Baron Kenyon, who tried the case, commended Gifford. Williams emigrated to America shortly afterwards and edited a New York newspaper called The Federalist. He died a poor man of typhus fever in Brooklyn, on 23 November 1818. This small format book, pages measuring 165mm X 100mm, is in very good condition. The full leather binding is a bit scuffed but overall very presentable and the title on the spine is quite readable. The book is very tight and stands on its own very well. The title page is mostly missing. A previous owner has handwritten the title page description on the first free endpaper, and the vignette from the title page has been pasted inside the front cover. The text block is clear with no staining or foxing. There are a few pencil notations. This book is extremely rare, with print-on-demand copies only available on the internet, at the time of this writing.
