Description:
Contemporary half leather binding with marbled end papers. Bookplate of former owner present, along with her signature on front free endpaper. Light scattered foxing. A solid copy of the first edition. From The University College Dublin Press blurb - "An Essay on Irish Bulls" was intended to show the English public the talent and wit of the Irish lower classes. Originally devised by Maria's father, Richard Lovell Edgeworth, Irish Bulls is an informal philosophic dialogue on the nature of Bulls (logical absurdities) and jokes and jests in general. Published at the time of the Union, the overarching theme is the confusions of identity and the relationship of Irish people to the English.
