This is the first printed account of Blake. Malkin was himself, perhaps, already engaged on the translation of Gil Blas, which he printed in 1809. Blake's design consists of a portrait of little Malkin, from a miniature, surrounded by a design of the child saying good-bye to his mother, and floating up to heaven, hand in head with an ample and benign angel.
