Wilmington, DE: Peter Brynberg, 1797. New Edition. Hardcover. Paper darkened. One page torn with no loss; rear blank and endpaper partially present. Very Good. Duodecimo (4" x 6-3/4") bound with the half-title page in original sheep leather with a gilt-lettered red morocco label; 226 [6] pages. Evans 32249. Hervey, a popular and bombastic Divine, had an influence on William Blake who painted "Epitome of James Hervey's Meditations among the Tombs." Two of the works in this collection--MEDITATIONS AMONGST THE TOMBS and THERON AND ASPASIO--decisively influenced the imagery in Blake's well-known poem "The Tyger."
