Manuscript. (AMENDMENT: Not a contemporary manuscript copy, but later, almost certainly 20th century, and possibly 1930s).The Frisking, Barking, Lady's Lap-Dog. A New Game of Questions and Commands. 1818. 1808, fifteen manuscript leaves, including vignette title-page, neatly hand-written in ink to one side only (facing versos and rectos), frontispiece and twelve leaves with pen, ink, and watercolour illustration to upper half of page, with text below (final text leaf unillustrated), pastedowns spotted, original blue painted card covers, sometime neatly resewn and rebacked with painted paper to match, pen, ink, and watercolour title label mounted on upper cover, slim 8vo Provenance: The family of American cookery writer Eliza Leslie (1787-1858); by descent to Thomas L. Twidell (1899-1994), great grandson of Charles Robert Leslie, brother of Eliza; bequeathed to Robin Hamlyn (1947-2016), curator at Tate Britian. A highly accomplished and meticulous contemporary manuscript copy of a printed book, published by John Marshall, which itself is rare. This manuscript is believed to be by cookery writer Eliza Leslie, executed for the benefit of her four younger siblings, two of whom, Charles Robert and Anna, became artists. Although best known for her books on cookery and etiquette, Eliza was also a prolific writer of fiction and non fiction for children and adults. Great nephew of Eliza, Thomas L. Twidell, was an authority on the Leslie family, and he came to know Robin Hamlyn when the latter embarked on a PhD thesis on C.R. Leslie. The exact date of the first printing of 'The Frisking, Barking Lady's Lap-Dog' is uncertain, and curiously our manuscript version lists two dates on the title-page, 1808 and 1818. Gumuchian lists the earliest known copy of 1817 (3557). We sold a copy with an 1818 watermark in 2014; it is the only copy we have seen at auction, and included an additional leaf of directions for play, not reproduced in the manuscript. The Osborne Collection has no listing for this title, COPAC records just a single copy of the 1822 edition only (Opie Collection), OCLC locates one 1819 copy (Indiana University and College of William & Mary), and the Pierpont Morgan Library has a copy watermarked 1830, printed (by assignment of E. Marshall) by D. Carvalho. A game of memory in the form of an accumulative rhyme, similar to 'The House That Jack Built' (1)
