Hudibras with Dr. Grey's annotations. A new edition corrected and enlarged.
BUTLER'S HUDIBRAS
London: Charles & Henry Baldwyn, 1819.
3 vols., 8vo (9" tall). Half dark blue calf. An
exceptionally pretty, yet restrained, set with titles
in elaborate cartouches and simple centre tools with
a flourish at the head and tail. Attractive pink
marbled papers on boards.
A fine set in a distinctive Regency binding. Butler's
Hudibras is a satire in the form of a mock-heroic
poem, which ridicules the hypocrisy of the
Presbyterians and Independents. First published in
three parts from 1663-1678, it was highly approved by
Charles II, who gave Butler £300 and later a pension
of £100 a year.
