Title	Symptoms of the Shop : Plate 12
Date	1 Mar 1801
Description	A publisher proposing to a stern woman. The publisher, standing on the left, is short and stout. He is standing with his arms out, looking up at the woman, and declares: "Improv'd edition of all that's lovely, have compassion on me, - I own I am but plainly bound, neither am I gilt or letter'd, yet believe me my composition is good and though I cannot boast of Title, still I hope my frontispiece will not displease you - and I make no doubt that when hot press'd by you beauty, I shall raise form the sheets of Hymen a valuable unique not unworthy of a place in the Library of Love." The woman, standing on the right, is taller than the publisher, and looks down at him disapprovingly, her hands in a very large fur muff.
