Item description from seller

4 volumes. The set is well read. All boards are off. Spines and boards are dry, with chipping at spine edge of volume I and heal of volume III, but title and volume labels are intact and legible. No former owner marks. Texts are in very good condition. Engraved frontispiece portraits in volume I. A period piece of value. John Wolcot (1738 ââ?¬â?? 1819) was an English satirist, who wrote under the pseudonym of "Peter Pindar". In 1780 Wolcot went to London and began writing satires. The first objects of his attentions were the members of the Royal Academy. These attempts being well received, he soon began to fly at higher game, the King and Queen being the most frequent marks for his satirical shafts. Among his other famous objects of his attack was James Boswell. Wolcot had a remarkable vein of humour and wit, which, while intensely comic to persons not involved, stung its subjects to the quick. He had likewise strong intelligence, and a power of coining effective phrases. Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Due to the size/weight of this book extra charges to apply for international shipping.…
