On the front free endpaper the inscription ‘Bysshe Shelley 1715 not his book but W. Nicholl’s’.
8vo. A very worn copy, the title page replaced in manuscript, so impossible to date, but clearly before 1715. The pages held together reasonably soundly.
The Works of Lord Byron With His Letters and Journals, And His Life, By Thomas Moore, esq.
London, John Murray, 1832- 1833
An early collected edition of Byron’s Poetry which includes Thomas Moore’s biography and a small, but interesting, collection of Byron’s prose writings at the back of volume six. This is an excellent edition of the greatest romantic poet, for the reader, as well as the collector: well printed, with the verse well laid out upon the page yet the books of a size convenient to hold and carry.
