Anon The Hampstead Congress: or, the Happy Pair. Printed: And sold by M. Cooper, A. Dodd, and G. Woodfal, 1745. 8vo, half calf over marbled boards in a period style; pp. 23, blank; provenance: North Library (bookplate upper pastedown) -- J.O. Edwards (book label upper pastedown). First ed. A scarce item (we have only traced on copy at auction in 1997). This light-hearted poem traces an argument between newly-weds about where is best to live - town or country. The argument going nowhere, Sir John retires to his country seat, from whence the news is brought to his wife of his death from a broken heart. She races to his side and weeps, at which he ups with a start and they are re-affirm their love for each other, conveniently just after she has pledged to bow to his Will in all things, if only he will be restored to her...
