Below are various versions of the "1827" The Merry Muses.  This was actually printed originally by Hotten in 1872 with the numbers transposed.   This false imprint was so that publishers could avoid fines or imprisonment for publishing what was considered obscene.  This "1827" edition was later reprinted many, many times and you should be able to pick up a copy on ebay for less than US$100.
