Limited edition, numbered 172 of 300 copies, of this collection of satiric fables in verse by the poet and satirist John Hall-Stevenson (1718–1785), reprinted from the original edition of 1768. Hall-Stevenson’s reputation relies heavily on his friendship with Laurence Sterne, his contemporary at Jesus College Cambridge, both appearing in Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey as ‘Eugenius’ and attempting to capitalize on his friend’s success by publishing sequels to Sterne’s writings.

Here the tartan is designated ‘Caledonian’ in small gold type at the top of the front cover.
