18011029931801. London: Printed by C. Clarke Published by T. Egerton 1801-2. <br /> <br /> 2 vols. 8vo xvi 209; iv 258 pp. recent full crimson morocco antique spines decorated and lettered in gilt covers gilt-ruled in an ivy pattern. Two engraved maps & two emblematic half-titles 52 topographic plates all aquatints printed in sepia; numerous woodcuts in text. Predictable offsetting minute puncture due to paper flaw in plate of Marlow Bridge opp. p. 195 in Vol. I; a beautiful set in a superb binding.<br /> <br /> § Third Edition; the first in 1792 and the second in 1799. The second in the fine series of pictorial tours issued by the entrepreneurial author artist and engraver who is today remembered primarily -- alas -- as the father and first victim of Shakespeare-forger William Henry Ireland. Although there are some provocative discrepancies between details of this set and the collation of the first edition in the Abbey Catalogue the only significant alteration between editions seems to have been the replacement of the "East View of Staines Old Bridge." The gossipy text is a lot of fun. Abbey Scenery. 430. Cox III p. 180. Upcott English Topography CXLIII Vol. III pp. 768-770. unknown

The young William Henry Ireland 1775-1835 son of a Shakespeare-adoring antiquary committed a series of deceptions forging documents and so forth which he passed off as long-lost Shakespeare originals. His spurious lost-Shakespeare-play 'Vortigern and Rowena' made it to a disastrous first night in 1796. The Confessions on offer here is a first edition of the culmination of the controversy.
