The Works of. Second edition.

Descripción

with a woodcut frontispiece and 8 woodcuts in the text, poorly printed, a few edges frayed with the loss of some letters on one leaf, some foxing and soiling, 2 of the woodcuts scribbled on in pencil, pp. [ii, half-title - reading 'A new and enlarged edition'] iv, 360, 12mo, contemporary half calf, flat spine gilt in compartments, black lettering piece lettered 'Milton', corners worn and lacking leather, sound, inscription inside front cover (see below). 'Second edition' means second Kendrew printed edition. This edition is not only rare, it has a most interesting ownership inscription. The inside front cover is inscribed in pencil 'Miss Chester, Beach Lane, Stretton, [Nr?] Burton-on-Trent, Given to her by her Grandma.' Liking this book as we do, we have had many copies in various editions, but we don't recall any with such a inscription, demonstrating grand-maternal solicitude. This may explain the Milton on the label.
