Title: Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin
Description: London, J Wright, 1800. Leather. A second edition of the Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin, in a leather binding. The Anti-Jacobin was a weekly English newspaper founded in 1797 in opposition to what was seen as the radicalism of the French Revolution. Many of the poems found in this collection are humourous in nature; strongly satirising the state of affairs both abroad and at home. Direct from the Regency library of Elizabeth Greenly, later Lady Elizabeth Coffin Greenly. Elizabeth Greenly, born at Titley Court, Herefordshire, was a noted and varied collector. She kept prolific diaries from 1784 until her death in 1839 which included her responses to current events and occasions in her daily life. Among the diaries many names and anecdotes of celebrities of the time appear, including Lord Byron, Marie Atoinette, Mary Wollstonecraft and Hannah More. She was known to comment on customs of foreign countries to which she and her friends had travelled, and had a keen interest in scientific discoveries and advancements including medicine and archaeology. The Greenly library contents show Elizabeth Greenly's numerous interests including: Welsh causes, Science, topography, travel, Bibliana and literature, particularly female poets. The library contains many first editions of contemporary works, and many are signed or contain her bookplate. The library contained over 1000 volumes which show the diversity and depth of her interests and give an insight into the life of this fascinating collector. These works come directly from the library of the Titley Court estate. In a full calf binding. Externally very smart with light rubbing to spine and extremities. Bookplate and ink signature of E H Greenly to front pastedown. Internally firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean aside from some age toning and the occasional spot. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
