ALKEN, Henry.] Some will, and Some will Not . London: S. and J. Fuller, 1821 [plates watermarked 1820]. Oblong 4° (255 x 340mm). Descriptive letterpress title signed 'Ben Tally-Ho', 4ll. text, text, 7 hand-coloured etched plates. (Light soiling and spotting, heavier to text leaves, last text leaf most heavily affected and with short marginal tear with crude paper repair.) Modern red half morocco over marbled-paper covered boards, gilt spine. A companion piece to Some Do, and Some Do Not in 'ALKEN'S BEST STYLE' (Schwerdt), the title referring to the willingness of horses to take jumps.
