About This Item
London: Printed for A. Hamilton, January - December 1772.. Volume title and frontis, 716,[12]pp. including Supplement, plus Appendix ([3],*284 - 328*). Octavo. Very neatly disbound. Short worm- track in lower margin of frontis and volume title, otherwise very good and crisp. The complete volume for the year, including the Supplement and the Appendix. All plates and portraits are present, but the July issue seems to be wanting the engraved "Celebrated Epigram Set to Music." Several of the engraved plates are after Gravelot. Founded in 1769, Hamilton's periodical is now best known for having published a substantial number of contributions by Thomas Chatterton during 1769 and 1770. In its original incarnation, it persisted until December 1796, offering along with the usual array of political news, records of deaths and bankruptcies and the like, a large component of poetry, popular and occasionally risqué anecdote, satire and fiction. The volume frontis includes in the background a Satyr exposing "the Genius of illicit Love." GRAHAM, p.180. CRANE & KAYE 874. NCBEL II:606- 7.
