8vo, pp.159, [1]; rather stained and dusty throughout; in a worn contemporary presentation binding of red morocco, covers filleted in gilt, spine gilt in compartments, gilt edges; authorial presentation inscription scraped away by a later owner but partly legible, repeated ownership inscriptions of Peter Hogg of Sandy Knowe, dated 1844, with a naive pencil sketch.First edition, scarce, possibly the dedication copy though subsequently defaced, of this collection of poems by 'The Berwickshire Ploughman'. Hewit (17781850) had a brief early career in the navy and army before becoming a poetical ploughman, publishing collections of poetry in 1798 and 1807, from the latter of which sixteen pieces are reprinted here; the other twenty-three poems are new and include some 'Lines to Sir W.Scott' and ' to Auld Reekie'.
