Sobre este artículo
London: Published for William Hone, by Hunt and Clarke, 1827. In 14 parts, The political house that Jack built (1821, 53rd ed.), The man in the moon (1820, 25th ed.), The Queen's matrimonial ladder (1820, 44th ed.), In Parliament. Dropt clauses out of the bill, against the Queen (s.d.), "Non mi ricordo!" (1820, 31st ed.), The form of prayer (1820, 5th ed. 1820), political showman--at home! (1821, 16th ed.), The right divine of kings to govern wrong! (1821), Bank restriction note, The bank restriction barometer, Buonapartephobia. (1820, 9th ed.), A slap at slop (1822), Aspersions answered (1824, 6th ed.), and Another article for the Quarterly review (1824, 2nd ed.). With 120 engravings by George Cruikshank. Contemporary half-calf, marbled boards, tooled and lettered in gilt. A trifle rubbed, paper shelf-label to foot of spine. Very occasional spotting. A collected edition of William Hone's (1780-1842) popular pamphlets, including his Bank Restriction Note (1820), a copper-plate engraving of an imitation of a £1 note, created in collaboration with Cruikshank, displaying a line of figures on the gallows. The note was an attack on the legislation which permitted the death penalty for the forging or passing of imitation paper money, a law which was popularly deemed too savage given the temptations involved and the opportunity for the persecution of innocent people. The note attracted much attention, as too did another joint parodic production, A Slap at Slop and the Bridge Street Gang (1820), a burlesque of John Stoddart's newspaper, the New Times. The years from 1819 to 1822 were perhaps Hone's most prolific period as a political satirist, during which he published such popular successes as The Queen's Matrimonial Ladder, Hone's Political Showman - at Home!, and Buonapartephobia. . Second edition. 8vo.
