TRUMBULL, John (1750-1831). McFingal: a Modern Epic Poem, in Four Cantos. Hartford: Hudson and Goodwin, 1782.

First complete edition of a satirical epic poem of the American Revolution, by one of the Hartford Wits. The first canto had been separately printed in 1775; Trumbull was encouraged to write it by members of the first Congress, eager to mock Britain's fumbles. This edition is the first appearance of its full text. Stoddard 325; BAL 20539; Evans 17750.

Quarto (155 x 103mm). (Some dampstaining and other marks, a few catchwords at end just shaved.) Contemporary sheep (a little worn, without flyleaves); board slipcase.
