Description
1797. London: R. Noble, 1797. Large 4to, pp. 85/86, with a full-page engraving by Blake surrounding the letterpress text. A loose sheet, fore-edges untrimmed (some still with deckle), minimal trimming to top and bottom edges. Only five leaves in the book have engravings recto and verso. § First edition, perfect for display or for teaching as the leaves are quite sturdy and can be carefully handled or matted for framing. Blake, virtually in a frenzy, completed 537 watercolor designs when he was commissioned to illustrate Young's masterpiece. The publisher only issued the first four 'Nights'and had Blake engrave (and partially etch) 43 plates to test the market. The response must have been poor since no further engravings were requested of Blake. Ironically, today the poet Young, once compared with Shakespeare and Milton, is forgotten save for this edition. Bentley, Blake Books, 515. Essick and LaBelle, Night Thoughts, Dover, 1975. Ray, The Illustrator and the Book in England, 1790-1914, 3.

Description
Hamburg: F.C.A. Otto, 1839. 48 pp. Removed and lacking wraps. [Title in English] Terrible robber Henry Brown and description of his capture and execution on 2 Nov. 1838. along with the life description of the robber and murderer C. Wilhelms. F.C.A. Otto published a variety of books at Hamburg Germany, but we cannot find another copy on OCLC. Some of the text is perhaps from a broadsheet at the American Antiquarian Society entitled Life and Execution of Wilhems, the Braganza Pirate published in New York in 1839. Brown was a British pirate and was hung in Jamaica in 1838. Wilhems was hung on Ellis Island in New York City in 1839.
