"Probably a copy of an English print. A dandy (cf. No. 13029) stands on the pavement outside an open ground-floor sash-window, ogling two welcoming young women through a lorgnette, regardless of the bailiff who takes his shoulder and proffers a writ. A second dandy, in the background, seeing the bailiff, drops his cane and runs away terror-stricken. The dandy's costume is that of c. 1820. Below the title: 'The Dandy squinting through his glass, Surveys the Ladies as they pass, But still the Fribble lacks the wit To guard against the Bailiffs writ.'"--British Museum online catalogue

A commonplace book containing lists of toasts, dances, songs and quotations assembled by Christopher Finn. A section entitled "Elegant extracts" appears to be an extract from "The unfashionable wife. A novel" (published in London, 1772), perhaps to be used for recitation. The section "Matter for letters" contains suggests for well-turned phrases for the beginning, middle, and 'subscription'. The last page contains instructions to the person who might find this volume, promising a reward; he provides not only his own address but those of two friends, one in Birmingham and one London and a note to his friends assuring them than he will re-imburse them the price of postage and the reward to the finder, clear evidence of how important this volume was to the author

"An altered copy of British Museum number 3764 (circa 1792), a mezzotint after Dighton. The dress of the two non-barristers has been modernized, one or two background heads have been omitted. The principal barrister has been altered from a grotesque to a portrait of MacNally, adapted, in reverse, from No. 11409. It is he who holds out his hand for coins to a melancholy countryman, and has a large brief inscribed 'Gaffer Flatscull agt Ralph Clodpole'. This and all other inscriptions are as in No. 3764. The attorney (right), who stands in profile to the left holding a pamphlet: 'Practic'[sic] of petty Fogging', wears a top-hat and has short cropped hair, and is better characterized than in the original and may be a portrait."--British Museum online catalogue
