What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Leather Binding, Very Scarce
The first edition of this very scarce work.
Thomas Tegg's account of the Old Price Riots of 1809, a series of riots caused by the rising prices at the new Theatre at Covent Garden. Whilst being factual, Tegg's poems are humorous, and show the deadly three month riots in a comical light.
Written and published by Thomas Tegg, a bookseller based in London.
Bound without the frontispiece, which is often lacking.
Half-title is present.
