Summary

Description
English: The Chase was written in 1735 by William Somervile (1675–1742), and was still getting handsomely illustrated editions—like this one—at the end of the century. The publisher’s Address tells us the illustrations were drawn by John Bewick (1760–1795) shortly before his death, and engraved by John’s better-known brother Thomas Bewick (1753–1828). LONDON: PRINTED BY W. BULMER AND CO. Shakspeare Printing Office, CLEVELAND-ROW.
