All printed by H. Maxwell for A. Dickens Bookseller Philadelphia. 3 vols bound in 1. First American editions. Each work was published anonymously. According to Kunitz/Haycraft pp. 349-350 "PURSUITS OF LITERATURE is a short poetic work of criticism extended to enormous size by ten times its own length in prose prefaces and notes. The work immediately became the most widely read and the most bitterly resented book of the day." DNB 47-49: "DeQuincey in his ESSAY ON PARR speaks of it as marred by 'much licence of tongue much mean and impotent spite and by a systematic pedantry without parallel in literature.'" Among the writers most severely satirized were Payne Knight Parr Godwin 'Monk' Lewis and Joseph Warton. We found only one copy of PURSUITS in the auction records i.e. 1920 and that was the 1803 edition. In THE IMPERIAL EPISTLE "the Tories were praised and Fox and his Whig followers condemned"- DNB.
