The first collected edition of the works of poet and writer Charles Cotton (1630-1687), containing the tenth edition of 'Scarronides', the third editions of 'Burlesque upon Burlesque: or, the Scoffer Scoft' and 'Wonders of the Peake', and an unspecified edition of the 'Planters Manual'. A burlesque writer in reputation, Cotton was also recognised for his translations of Montaigne, and his passion for fishing, particularly in the Peak District, which formed the basis of his guide to fly-fishing, The Compleat Angler.
