Slightly later polished calf, covers framed in gilt, gilt dentelles, spine richly gilt in six compartments divided by raised bands, two red morocco lettering pieces gilt; top edge gilt, others untrimmed, French blue end papers. Tall wide-margined copy, securely bound (perhaps rebacked) and clean throughout with good impressions of the plates. Franklin, pp 68-71. Grolier (Rowlandson) 34. Tooley 412. Abbey (Travel) 437. Hardie, pp. 171, 317. Sometimes ascribed to William Combe, though Hamilton (Doctor Syntax: A Silhouette of William Combe) lists it as an imitation. Political satire directed against Lord Moira, Marquis of Hastings, who at the time was Governor General of Bengal and commander-in-chief of British forces in India; against the East India Company, for its Hindu prejudices, and against the church's patent disregard for Indian culture.
