Beschreibung

44pp, [2]. Wrappers included in pagination. Original publisher's printed blue wrappers. Extremities rubbed, marked, chipped, and creased, loss to spine and lower corner of lower panel. A revised edition, in original unsophisticated state, of two disparate lectures, delivered before the Leeds Mechanics Institution and Literary Society on 5th and 6th December, 1850, by politician George William Frederick Howard, seven earl of Carlisle (1802-1864); the first on the poetry of Alexander Pope, the second on his own extensive travels in North America. During nearly a year spent in the country, Carlisle journeyed through twenty-two of the then twenty-six states. He was unimpressed by Washington D.C., though revelled in the opportunity to attend debates in congress, where he much admired the effusive oratory of former President John Quincy Adams. Size: 8vo.
