The Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque. The Second Tour... in Search of Consolation. A Poem.

London: R. Ackermann, [1813], 1820. Two volumes, fifth and first editions respectively, 8vo. Coloured aquatint title in volume I plus 30 and 24 coloured aquatint plates respectively. Both volumes trimmed with resulting loss of the imprint to many of the plates, and the attribution of the verse to the foot of the title in the first volume to Horace as well, but without any loss of the plate titles themselves and the text leaves still with good wide margins, the second volume bound without its "directions to the binder" leaf. Uniformly bound in contemporary half calf, gilt spines with red and green labels, marbled sides, some light wear, one corner with some loss of leather, otherwise a good bright set. Tooley 427, 428.
