London: Printed for Joseph Smith, 1828. Frontispiece. 144 pp. 1 vols. Narrow 12mo. Green printed boards. Some rubbing, foot of spine repaired. Lacking front flyleaf, small loss to lower flyleaf. Very good. Frontispiece. 144 pp. 1 vols. Narrow 12mo. Paul Pry was a popular farce of the mid 1820s, where the eponymous character leaves his umbrella behind as a pretext to return and eavesdrop on conversations. In the twentieth century, Paul Pry was adopted by Thomas Burke as the pseudonym on his heavily coded, pioneering gay guide to London, For Your Convenience (1937). Uncommon.
