George Riley

Poetry. Printed area measures: 25.5 x 14.4 cm. Printed in two columns; wood-engraving of man walking at left of title; short double rule below title. English ballad mentions naval battle between Admiral Rodney and Comte de Grasse in 1782. Internal evidence, e.g. type and unusual spacing, suggests Joseph White as printer. He printed in Boston, first in partnership, then alone from 1788 to 1809; in Charlestown, Mass., from 1810 to 1826. This edition not in Evans, Bristol, Shaw/Shoemaker, Am. Imprints, or Ford.
