http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81151070

Unique publisher's copy of Smith's volume, published posthumously by John Bowyer Nichols and Son in 1839. The volume contains the thirty etchings and accompanying text for The Cries of London, and an additional thirty-seven etchings of criers published by Smith in 1815-1816. Letters to Nichols from Smith's family containing bibliographical information, written shortly before publication of the volume, have been bound in. Hand-written drafts for the text of The Cries of London, perhaps written by Francis Douce, are bound in at the end of the volume. A loose copy of the print Henry Dinsdale, 1815, is also included.
