[BROOME, Ralph]. 'Simpkin'. Letters From Simpkin the Second, to his Dear Brother in Wales; Containing an Humble Description of the Trial of Warren Hastings, Esq. London: printed by John Bell, 1789. 8vo (144 x 91mm.) (Mild toning.) Later red half-morocco bound by Bayntun, five raised bands to spine, gilt lettering to the second and fourth compartments, gilt fleurons to the rest (rubbing to extremities, replaced endpapers). Note: poet and pamphleteer Ralph Broome wrote this satirical running commentary on the impeachment trial of Warren Hastings. Much of the satire was directed at Edmund Burke, to whom the poem was dedicated. Hastings was eventually acquitted in 1795. First published in the 'Monthly Review' in 1788, this is the greatly expanded edition of the following year.
