Stiff Wrappers. Condition: Fine. First Printing. First Edition of this paean to the pocket knife, enumerating its benefits, shortcomings, and types (including the curved bistoury blade used by surgeons and the seventeenth-century typesetter's coping blade). Foolscap 8vo (101 x 67mm): 36pp, with three full-page plates, decorative… initials, and three supplement leaves printed one side only, neatly folded and tipped in at rear. Publisher's burnt orange stiff wrappers printed in black, fore-edge untrimmed. No limitation given, but probably fewer than 150 copies printed, based on Cheney's usual edition sizes for similar items. A fine copy, virtually pristine, of this scarce near-miniature book. Will Cheney at 90 (Clark Library), p. 22. Cheney printed an expanded second edition in 1968, incorporating the information from the first-edition supplements, including, from the Third Supplement, notes on the jackleg knife, which Cheney says was a favorite of wood engraver Thomas Bewick, who "says in his memoirs that returning from a late card game one night he met the devil on a lonely moor. On Bewick flourishing his 'Jackleg' knife, the devil stepped aside and let him pass." N. B.

Cheney was an "erudite, self-taught printer who takes great interest in words, phrases, and learning that are generally considered obsolete. His reasoning ability can leave readers behind him -- but that is not Cheney's fault. He writes mainly to pl…ease himself and as a result often produces printing that only a few close friends can understand. Not all of Cheney's writings are obscure -- although most of his printed pieces are hard to locate" (Muir Dawson).
