8vo., viii, 184pp., engraved frontispiece & 5 engraved plates by George & Robert Cruikshank, occasional light scattered spotting, orig. quarter morocco lettered in gilt over patterned boards, lightly rubbed on spine. A VG+ copy. Ex Libris Samuel Eaton Edge with his fine engraved bookplate to upper pastedown. (Cohn, 151). The work of English caricaturist and satirical poet John Collier, who was known by the pseudonym of Tim Bobbin. Collier styled himself as the Lancashire Hogarth.This work takes the form of a comic dialogue between two people, Thomas and Mary, and also includes examples of the author's poetry. A life-long student of the Lancashire dialect, Collier was "an acute observer of character, and for many years used to take note of every quaint and out-of-the-way term or phrase he heard in the village alehouses and elsewhere" (DNB); and advanced the opinion that the Lancashire dialect "was the universal language of the earliest days of England.".
