[Dillon, R. C.] : .]. THE LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO OXFORD in the Month of July, 1826

Longman, Rees, Orme, Browne and Green, London, 1826

8vo., publisher's plain reddish-brown cloth, spine repaired, with a gilt-stamped leather title label. Frontispiece engraving of the Lord Mayor of London (W. Venables) and his party's embarkation at Oxford by Henry Smith, marked "Proof." An earlier bookseller's description on the front pastedown says it all: "This serious absurdity was so much quizzed that the Lord Mayor induced his over-ernest chaplain to surpress it. A very severe review of the volume was written by Theo. Hook. The whole volume is filled with the grossest flattery and adulation: in one passagee he insinuates that the sun shone with unwonted splendour in honour of this his patron's visit to Oxford."Scarce. And an early cloth publisher's binding.
