A scarce collection of poems by a Gloucester bookseller. Richard Bond was in business in Gloucester from the early 1750s, when he is recorded as selling the Daily Register, until about 1770. He was very likely the son of William Bond, bookseller and bookbinder in Stroud and Gloucester, and thus the brother of the composer Capel Bond (1730-90) and the painter Daniel Bond (1725-1803): in 1769 Richard seems to have published Capel Bond's music, and this book is usually catalogued has having been issued in this year. The 'Mr Bond' in Stroud who also sold this book could well be Richard Bond's father, or perhaps a brother succeeding to the father's business. The first part of the book, to p. 34, is taken up with mostly pious and divine poems a version of the Te Deum, paraphrases of the psalms, and a poem 'The Happy Man' which is surely based on Horace's famous Ode. The latter section is entirely devoted to a single long poem titled 'Friendship, a familiar Epistle', which sings the usual praises of virtue, friendship and modesty of ambition. It ends rather charmingly: Thus writes, and thus would correspond, SIR, Your's, in Friendship, RICHARD BOND.
