London. Joseph Thomas & Simpkin, Marshall & Co. 1839. pp. xii, 118. 8vo. Half calf, marbled boards, slightly rubbed. Half title lacking. With the bookplate of Gordon C.F. Hobbs. Wise Vol 2, p100. Chew p61 - 62 & 356. Chew says " Incoherent as most of this satire is, the piece is of unusual significance, for the character of the younger Juan, in its brutal, cynical faithfulness and egotism, is the nearest approach to the true Don Juan tradition that has appeared in England since Shadwell's Libertine and the Lovelace of Richardson."
Order Number: 8123
