A very good copy of this unusual book. The First Edition. This double pica script type was cut previous to 1785 when it appears in Caslon's specimen. 'Poetry of Nature', which was printed by J.P. Cooke of London, is one of the first efforts to popularise a script type in England. The Preliminary Address states 'The prime intent of the present production is to introduce for public inspection a species of Typographical excellence, as yet very little (if at all) known'.
