Descripción

First American Edition, a page-for-page and (with few exceptions) line-for-line reprint of the Galignani edition published in Paris in 1829, with the same tripartite engraved portrait frontispiece of the poets, bound in contemporary dark polished calf and marbled boards, the spine with five compartments separated by 4 gilt-ruled raised hubs, boards are rubbed with modest edge wear, hinges are tight & pages are clean & unmarked with occasional mild foxing, printed from the same plates of J. Howe derived from the Galignani edition with the same pagination and containing the memoirs by Mary Shelley and Leigh Hunt for Shelley and Keats respectively; this early edition, when published in 1829 in Paris, constituted the first collected edition of Keats's works & the second ever of Coleridge and Shelley, and here represents the first such appearances in America; an attractive nicely printed copy from the Earle Vonard Weller Collection of Occidental College with his small donation bookplate to the pastedown corner and an earlier armorial bookplate centered to that page as well; as in the Paris edition, each poet's section is paginated separately, (xi) 225, (xi) 275, (vii) 75pp; engraved portrait frontispiece with tissue guard.
