Beschreibung

An early nineteenth century copy of Lord Byron's satirical poem. Great to see this in the original publishers' boards. Direct from the library of the late Hugh Selbourne MD (1906-1973) a noted book collector and diarist. A spurious reprint of the fourth edition. Watermark most visible to pages 2-3 'W Pickering and Co. 1816', title page states fourth edition was published in 1811. English Bards and Scotch Reviewers was first published anonymously in March 1809. It took a matter of months before Byron published an expanded edition with his name identified as the author. The opening of the poem parodies the first satire of Juvenal. In original grey boards. Externally, sound with slight rubbing, particularly to the extremities and front joint. Front joint is starting but firm. Boards are discoloured. 'Yours' written to rear board. Front hinge is tender with cords showing. Internally, generally firmly bound though strained in places. Pages are untrimmed. Watermark W.Pickering and Co, 1816 to pages, most visible to pages 2-3. Pages are slightly age-toned to edges with spotting to the endpapers and pastedowns as well as scattered spots throughout. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GEN36-E-16
