(APPERLEY, of Gloucester) Essays, and Reflections, Religious and Moral. Second edition, with additions. Glocester: printed by D. Walker. 1806
viii, [1], 10-104, 113-120, [1], 106-111, [1], 121-174pp, woodcut tailpiece ornament. 8vo. Text complete despite erratic pagination. Full contemporary mottled calf, greek gilt key pattern borders, gilt floral spine, black gilt morocco label; sl. abrasion to upper board. Pencil inscription on a preliminary blank, 'Harriet Sneyd, the gift of Mr Marston.' A nice copy.

¶'The following little essays... were drawn up, as they occurred to the father of a pretty numerous family... [It] was printed at a country press several years ago (1793), when those for whose more immediate use it was designed, were then very young: the copies being disposed of, has induced another edition, with some additions.' The first edition is recorded as an anonymous Wrexham printing, ESTC T68681 and BL has an 1806 edition published by J. Washbourn, Gloucester, apparently otherwise an identical printing.
