Hebrew Melodies

Descripción

[vi], 53, [3] pp., 8vo, modern quarter tan calf, gilt spine title, marbled paper sides. First edition, first issue, with the E4 signature being a two-page advertisement for John Murray that includes the four-line entry for Samuel Rogers's "Jacqueline" and six-line notice for Thomas Campbell's "The Selected Beauties of British Poetry" (as being "In the Press") present. See Randolph, Studies for a Byron Bibliography, p. 50. "As this page of advertisements is not a binder's insertion, but is a portion of the last sheet of the book, it is fully entitled to recognition" (Wise, A Byron Library, p. 47). Lacking the half-title (though fly-title following Contents leaf present) and without the inserted sets of half title and title pages for use in binding editions of Byron's poems into two volumes; otherwise collates according to Wise and Randolph. Some leaves with parts of the "11 Smith 1814" watermark (fly-title shows "1815" watermark). Randoph reads it as "H Smith," while Wise calls it "11 Smith." A very good, clean copy, with just a shadow of offset on the title page and a couple of tiny spots on a few leaves; head and tail of spine lightly rubbed. N° de ref. del artículo 3203
