About This Item
London: Bell and Daldy, 1870. The Anglo-Irish clergyman Thomas Parnell (1679-1718) was also friend to Pope and Swift (he possibly helped Pope with his Greek). This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition Thus. Part of the "Aldine Poets," the most complete survey of English poetry in the 19th century. Green decorative cloth binding, stamped, and filled with black and gilt. Clean text; 185 pages. Uncommon. There is no publication date, but Bell formed his partnership with Daldy in 1856; the binding style suggests no later than 1870. No copies in Worldcat or Copac (which dates other titles as 1866 or 1870). There are faint previous-owner signatures on the front paste-down and the half-title. Mildly bumped, and rubbed to a bit of a fray at the head and foot of the spine. A cute little book. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. First Thus.. Decorative Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket.
