This plate here present in a very good impression with the imprint quite clear is almost always in the second state; three or four copies are known in the first state. The other 5 plates are engraved by Blake after designs by others. Hayley's position as the most respectable and considerable literary figure who had known Cowper made him the inevitable choice to write the definitive work. Blake was living with his wife at Felpham and she helped him make and print the engravings for their old friend and patron Hayley. <br /> <br /> Pencil inscription to front free endpaper reads: "These three volumes were obtained from the family of the Rev. Wm Bull of Newport Pagnell Friend of Cowper and Newton see DNB. Charlotte Beatty was the original owner of the books and she was a friend of this circle and also well-known in that area where alms houses were named in her honour."<br /> <br /> Keynes Grolier 124; Bentley 468A; Essick XLIV note that the entry in Easson and Essick IV is totally superseded by Essick's new research in the Commercial Book Illustrations. unknown
