The Lady-Bird's Lay, London: E. Marshall, [c.1825]. 8° (156 x 100mm). Title with wood-engraved vignette, 7 hand-coloured engraved plates. (Occasional light spotting, staining and offsetting.) Contemporary pink wrapper with printed label mounted on upper cover (lacking backstrip, corners torn away, some creasing and light staining). A touching - occasionally comic - collection of verse, attractively and somewhat naively illustrated and coloured. Published anonymously, it is not listed in Halkett & Laing, Gumuchian or Osborne.
