He defends satire as a way to keep writing from falling into tropes written solely for fashion and commerce.  Includes his Preface to the Third Edition. Includes a few pages of printer's ads in the back, and an addenda about the circulating library. Printed by T. Collins, Harvey's Buildings, Strand, London, for publisher James Cawthorn, British Library No. 24, Cockspur Street. USED. 1810. $150.00
