Great "companion piece" for a collector of very early biographies of GEORGE WASHINGTON. John Corry was an Irish topographer and historian writer. Among his other works he wrote and publised The Life of George Washington, first published in 1800.Corry, who was self-taught, was born in the north of Ireland. As an adult he went to Dublin, where he was a journalist. About 1792 he moved to London, as a professional writer. His history after 1825 is unknown.Most of Corry's works were published anonymously. Besides editing a periodical, he furnished the letterpress for the History of Liverpool (1810), published by Thomas Troughton; wrote vol. i. of the History of Bristol, 2 vols. (1816), the second volume being supplied by John Evans; and a History of Macclesfield (1817). More ambitious was the History of Lancashire, 2 vols. (1825), with a dedication to George IV. It was, however, derivative of a work of Matthew Gregson, of 1817.His book The Detector of Quackery (1802) was a criticism of medical frauds and quackery of his day. Very good condition.
