Nine sammelband pamphlets bound in blind stamped decorative calf overlay recased with brown cloth boards; apparent shelf wear and toning to leaves each pamphlet constitutes approximately 16 pp. 8 vo. Scarce copies of all in disbound condition so this bound aggregate is a rare and singular entity. <br/><br/>A collection of poetry tracts in the 18th century assembled and bound as a set showcasing typical and popular poetry writing and style in England. This was a common practice to gather political satire and literary tracts and bind them together generally at the discretion of the owner or in some cases the printer and/or bookseller. The majority of these works are poetry written as political satire towards the Tory government. This method of binding separate works 'sammelband' also speaks to contemporary collecting and publishing practices. <br />The bound volume lists separate works as follows: <br />attrib. Ward Edward.
