181743954London: Published by Sherwood Neely and Jones Paternoster-Row; and Simpkin and Marshall Stationers' Court; Sold Also by T. Rogerson Manchester; and by All Booksellers 1817. Original publisher's blue-grey paper-covered boards backed in green paper tan spine labels printed in black. Binding worn and rubbed particularly extremities of Vol I with light sunning and soiling; heel of Vol. I backstrip partially perished; front hinge of Vol I starting; page blocks a bit toned; light foxing to endpapers. Texts clean and unmarked bindings still quite sound overall. Good. Two volume set. 459 1 pp; pp 3 - 480. Illustrated with a total of 7 b/w plates and maps multiple engraved portraits to some plates. Plates published by T. Rogerson. 8vo. 9" x 5-1/2" <br/><br/>Text appears to be the same as that in Baines' History of the Wars of the French Revolution published by Longman Hurst Rees Orme and Brown the same year albeit with a slightly different title and with attribution to Baines. The Longman edition may have been preceded by an edition in parts advertised as "The Cheapest History of the Wars" in the Literary Gazette London: Henry Colburn 1817 and first published on March 1st by Simpkin and Marshall and Sherwood and Co. and sold by T. Rogerson. This edition bears the pronounced error of the "1792" on the title pg of Vol I being printed as "1793" on Vol. II's title page. The work Baines' first -- significant portions of which were later found to have been lifted verbatim from an earlier history by Alexander Stephens -- was wildly popular upon publication and would have likely been in high demand in any form; it was reissued as part of Baines' larger work on George III published in 1820. Uncommon in the trade. Published by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, Paternoster-Row; and Simpkin and Marshall, Stationers' Court; Sold Also by T. Roger hardcover books

You cant help yourself / Our cause is speeding on; / And you'll be laid upon the shelf / When woman's rights are won. When our President is Katy fair / And Mary's eyes of blue / Beam sweetly from the Mayor's chair / They'll see no place for you!
