Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Title Page to vol 1 + i + 267 pages (inc pages xiii at front) + Title Page to vol I +184 (inc pages xiii at front) + 2 page index + Title Page to Remarks on the Talents of Lord Byron + Comiti de M. page, dated 1819 + 50 pages + 2 page poem Lines to Sandt, the assassin of Kotzebue + To the Memory of Abbé Edgeworth page + The Horse and the rider page + Title Page to The Conflagration of Moscow dated 1822 + 30 pages (including vii preface). Condition Original quarter leather & mottled hardback binding in Very Good condition, minor rubbing, gilt embossed title to spine and gilt library number to base of spine. Contents Very Good, clean & tight, Library label to 1st front endpage, Hampshire county Library stamp over-stamped with Withdrawn stamp (that just about seeps through to Title page). Just a few pencil inscriptions. A few corner tips missing, minor tear within one page to base not affecting text, one edge tear, a couple of pages printed on slightly smaller paper pages. It states Eighteenth Edition but it seems Lacon was first published in 1820, with Volume II only published in 1822,and published with other poems at the rear. We note most dealers list this as xiii + 267 pages, that is because they do not correctly collate their book, as it is infact 267 pages and this includes pages xiii at front then continuing into the text. Rev. Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832), was true English eccentric, educated Eton & King’s College Cambridge, Vicar of Kew and Petersham 1812, he was also an author, gambler and wine merchant, he fled from his creditors. For two years Colton travelled throughout the United States. He later established a modest residence in Paris. There he invested in an art gallery and had a large private collection of valuable paintings. Other pastimes included wine collecting and partridge-shooting. He also frequented the gaming salons of the "Palais Royal" and was so successful that in a year or two he acquired the equivalent of 25,000 English pounds. But due his continued gambling, he lost his fortune. At the time of his death, Colton was living on funds received from his immediate family. An illness required surgery, but Colton dreaded the operation. He eventually killed himself rather than undergo the procedure. The additions to Lacon bound here (some from another book) make this copy unique, and from a quick net check, this copy is in much better condition to most copies of Lacon for sale.…
