Item description from seller

SCARCE SECOND EDITION. RED BINDING WITH GOLD TITLE AND DECORATIONS ON THE FRONT PANEL AND SPINE. VOLUME IN 16°, pp. (XII)-227.THE NOTEL AND ILLUSTRATIONS BY W.HENRY WILLS. THE 12 ENGRAVINGS BY THOMPSON, FROM DESIGNS BY FREDERICK TAYLER. Condition: Good+ Sir Roger de Coverley was the name of a character in The Spectator, a daily publication published by Joseph Addison (1672-1719) in London from 1711 to 1712. Each "paper", or "number", was approximately 2,500 words long, and often featured an essay or letters on politics or the arts. They were read by many thousands of people, both in England and abroad, including many of the American Founding Fathers. An English squire of Queen Anne's reign, Sir Roger exemplified the values of an old country gentleman, and was portrayed as lovable but somewhat ridiculous ('rather beloved than esteemed' - Spectator no. 2), making his Tory politics seem harmless but silly.
