Description:
The Street Companion is an extract from the London magazine, January, 1825. It is a satire on the Reverend Thomas Frognall Dibdin's 'The library companion', from which this title page originates. The Rylands copy of the companion has a proof title page, with the usual vignette of a bookstack replaced here by a sketch in ink of a group of bottles and glasses and the word 'book' being replaced with 'bottle'. Ton Foggy Dribble is the pseudonym of Thomas De Quincey. Didbin was the original cataloguer of Earl of Spencer's book collection at Althorp, purchased by Mrs Rylands in 1892.
