Horace

Opera

On the front free endpaper the inscription ‘Bysshe Shelley 1715 not his book but W. Nicholl’s’.

Bound in a full leather binding, panelled calf, the boards loose but attached, but the binding very worn: leather missing from the bottom of the back cover and much of the spine. Read more about Shelley, Percy Bysshe (Poet). Book with Family Association
