1827177815New York: Imprint whereof is at New-York 1827. VG few foxing spots but remarkably clean and tight. No evidence of page removal between pages xxx and xxv as mentioned in research. Original boards with cloth spines and remnants of affixed paper labels. Untrimmed uncut. Volume 1: irregular pagination. 2 blanks tp copyright iii iv-xx xxv-xvii blank 29 30-263. There is ample evidence of three sheets having been excised after pp. xviii and that a sheet numbered xix/xx has been inserted and glued after these three remnants. The text from page xx to the following page xxv appears to be continuous indicating a re-working of the text from the original printed sheets for pages xix-xxiv. An 1877 book auction catalogue lists this publication which was indicated to be 2 volumes as Very Scarce having been suppressed by the author. No auction or sales records found. A copy of part 2 was sold in 1904 as an odd volume as part of aa larger lot. A 1911 auction catalogue notes the following: "2 vols. 12° boards uncut. A caustic satire on New York's Four Hundred in 1827 which led to the prosecution of its author for libel and the mutilation of all copies of the work by the removal of pp. xxi.-xxiv. of A Short Proem its most vitriolic portion." It can be noted that the copy in the American Antiquarian Society lacks 3 sheets xix-xxiv. Their copy was printed in Boston and not New York. Shoemaker R.H.
