Item description from seller

8vo., xx, 192pp. + 16pp. publisher's catalogue at rear, half-title present, engraved vignette title-page, marbled endpapers, bound in contemporary full tree calf, gilt decorated fore-edges and gilt decorated spine in compartments with contrasting title label A VG clean, tightly bound copy in a handsome binding of this scarce work, slightly rubbed on some extremities with light wear to upper joint. (ESTC, T5309). Ex Libris Alexander Baillie of Dochfour with his fine engraved bookplate to upper pastedown. Thomas Tyers (1726 –1787) was an English writer, barrister, and co-proprietor of Vauxhall Gardens, known for his dilettante literary output and association with Samuel Johnson. Born the eldest son of Jonathan Tyers, the entrepreneur who developed Vauxhall Gardens as a premier London pleasure ground. His writings, often produced in limited editions reflecting his eccentric pursuits, included Political Conferences between Several Great Men (1780). On his father's death in 1767, Tyers became joint manager of Vauxhall Gardens with his brother Jonathan. His father had left him well off, and according to James Boswell in his Life of Samuel Johnson he "ran about the world with a pleasant carelessness". He was a favourite with Samuel Johnson, who used to call him Tom Tyers, and confessed that Tyers always told him something that he did not know before; it was he who said of Johnson that he always talked as if he were talking on oath. In 1780, Tyers published Political Conferences between Several Great Men in the Last and Present Century, a satirical dialogue imagining debates among historical figures and modern politicians on governance and liberty; a second edition followed in 1781 with added notes. The work aimed to expose perceived hypocrisies in Whig policies.
