Hardcover. Blue cloth over boards, with gold lettering on the spine, gold decorations on cover and spine. Top edge gilt; the other edges left untrimmed and uneven. Frontispiece engraving with tissue guard. Title page dated 1895. Copyright page states Third Edition. (The first two were 1885 and 1887.) 217 pages plus a long catalogue of other books dated 1895. Binding good and clean and tight. Clean inside. Small bookplate on inside front cover with the name Irwin Laughlin and motto. A scarce nineteenth century translation of Sappho. Of the approximately 10,000 lines of poetry that Sappho is thought to have written, only about 1,500 have survived. Many of those were discovered in 1879 (in a rubbish heap in Egypt), sparking a new interest in her work (thus, this edition). 170 fragments published here in both Greek and English, along with a nice gravure of the papyrus 'Fayum' fragments, and long biography and bibliography. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it s an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.

We trust them & we hope you will too. If you need tracking, please consider PRIORITY SHIPPING. We ship orders valued at more than $50 in a box, at no additional charge. Priority mailing is for a Flat-Rate envelope, with tracking included. If the book does not fit into a flat rate envelope, we will likely need to request extra shipping costs from you, in order to put it in a box. We only charge the actual amount of shipping, so we hope you'll understand that it's just a matter of getting the book to you without taking a loss on it -- shipping is a service we happily offer without a 'handling' charge.... but we can't afford to charge you less than the cost of the stamps!
