Full leather with 5 raised spine bands 7 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches 234 pp. engraved frontispiece "The Cat doth play / And after slay". Leather worn and rubbed with erosion at tips and spine ends.

Previous owner's name/inscription in neat handwriting top of title page. Small light brown stain bottom of title page 7/8 x 1/2 inch not affecting any printing. A few pencil marks page 185. Otherwise pages quite clean and crisp. Binding fair book block very good. See the Wikipendia entries on Jane Collier and An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting. "Jane Collier's An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting 1753 a conduct book was her first work. The Essay operates as a satirical advice book on how to nag and it was modeled after Jonathan Swift's satirical essays. The work is intended to "teach" a reader the various methods for "teasing and mortifying" one's acquaintances. It is divided into two sections that are organized for "advice" to specific groups and it is followed by "General Rules" for all people to follow. / The Essay is modeled on Jonathan Swift's satire Instructions to Servants 1746 and even mentions Swift directly. However Collier reverses the roles in Swift's satire and instead writes from a servant's perspective in the first book. / To the master and mistresses the narrator claims that "you are no true lover of the noble game of Tormenting if a good dinner or any other convenience or enjoyment can give you half the pleasure as the teasing and mortifying a good industrious servant who has done her very best to please you." / To wives she tells them to "Be out of humour when your husband brings company home: be angry if he goes abroad without you; and troublesome if he takes you with him." When speaking to friends she argues that "injuries go nearest to us that we neither deserve nor expect." Added to the work are "General Rules for plaguing all your acquaintance; with the description of a party of pleasure" along with a "Conclusion" and "A Fable". As a general rule the narrator says "By all means avoid an evenness of behaviour. Be sometimes extremely glad to see people; and at other times let your behaviour be hardly within the rules of good breeding." / Betty Rizzo described the work as the "best-known generic satire written in the eighteenth century by a woman." The Battesins stated that Collier was "an author of wit and spirit". Some critics find it interesting that Collier would "yoke" Richardson with those that he "felt especial antipathy" with: Swift and Fielding. Katherine Craik claims the work as "a courageous social satire published at a time when satires were usually written by and for men.""3214045. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. Printed for A.
