Rare first and only edition of this curious Blake item. Gilchrist, in his 'Life of Blake' published in 1863, referred to the volume as 'that singular and now very scarce book'. William Blake painted a miniature in tempera of his vision of the ghost of a flea (1819-20, Tate, London). John Varley records how Blake came to depict the strange apparition (pp.54/55): 'This spirit visited his imagination in such a figure as he never anticipated in an insect. As I was anxious to make the most correct investigation in my power, of the truth of these visions, on hearing of this spiritual apparition of a Flea, I asked him if he could draw for me the resemblance of what he saw: he instantly said, "I see him now before me." I therefore gave him paper and a pencil, with which he drew the portrait... I felt convinced by his mode of proceeding, that he had a real image before him, for he left off, and began on another part of the paper, to make a separate drawing of the mouth of the Flea, which the spirit having opened, he was prevented from proceeding with the first sketch, till he had closed it. During the time occupied in completing the drawing, the Flea told him that all fleas were inhabited by the souls of such men, as were by nature blood-thirsty to excess...' (1)
