About This Item
New York: C.S. Francis & Co, 1850. Very Good. New York: C.S. Francis & Co., 1850. Reprint. Two octavo volumes (7.5" x 5"); xxiv, 25-312pp +8 ads; [xvi]- 300pp +8 ads. Blindstamped brown cloth with gilt lettering to spines. Boards edgeworn with bumping and a couple tiny tears to spine ends, along with some general smudges and scuffs to cloth. A bit of smudging and toning to endpapers in each. Boards open easily but bindings are secure. Pages unmarked.
The First American Edition of Browning's Poems appeared in October 1844 (but post-dated 1845) under the title A Drama of Exile and Other Poems. This edition appeared in America the same year as the British Second Edition from Chapman & Hall, but unlike its British cousin it omits the newly-added Sonnets from the Portuguese, which C.S. Francis included a year later as part of Prometheus Unbound, and Other Poems.
