1823BIBLIO-16528Harding Mayor and Lepard London first edition 1823. Original boards with original paper cover-label rebacked in cloth small 8vo. 78 2 pp. From the introduction: "The following Journal of a celebrated siege on which the Novel of Peveril of the Peak has conferred additional interest differs materially from any accounts of it which have been previously given to the public. It appears from internal evidence to have been composed in the intervals of action and to have been completed before the spring of 1644 when Lathom which is described as entire in one of the concluding paragraphs was demolished: and the author was certainly an inmate of the mansion and a man acquainted with classical literature who retained the provincialisms of Lancashire but had formed a regular style by habits of composition. Within the narrow circle thus left for conjecture one literary character will be found Colonel Edward Chisenhall of Chisenhall author of "Catholike History;" but as the journalist mentions his known courage and mercy mingled with valour the reader must judge for himself whether these compliments are sufficient to overbalance all the other strong coincidences which point to this officer as the probable author. He must however remember that the work was written when the delicacy peculiar to modern days would operate with comparative weakness on the author of an anonymous narrative composed under circumstances of unusual excitement and possibly never intended for publication. The MS. from which the present little volume is printed forms part of a collection of tracts relating to the local struggles in Lancashire during the great civil war preserved in the library of a gentleman of that county by whom it was presented to the publishers." The journal has also been attributed to Edward Halsall. 1841 ownership inscription of Richard Smithson on front free endpaper which is somewhat creased covers rubbed contents lightly agetoned otherwise Good.
