About This Item
London: published for the Shelley Society, 1888. A modern eclogue. With other poems. A type fac-simile of the original edition of MDCCCXIX. Edited by H. Buxton Forman. Pp. xxiv+viii+96(last 4 blank); tall demy 8vo; green papered boards, lettered in black, with the imprint of Richard Clay and Sons at centre of lower board, boards faintly soiled, edges a trifle rubbed and fore-corners lightly worn; uncut and largely unopened; half-title page faintly soiled; published for the Shelley Society by Reeves and Turner, London, 1888. Edition limited to 500 copies. The Shelley Society's Publications. Second series, No. 17. Smith (Shelley), p. 324. *Smith calls for 3 copies printed on vellum, 500 on plain paper and 500 on Van Gelder paper, with both the plain and Van Gelder paper copies bound in green papered boards and priced at ten shillings. This seems unlikely and the limitation statement (500) on the half-title page verso is probably correct. Todd (256d) lists only the Buxton Forman lecture Rosalind and Helen, published 'for private circulation' (3 on vellum and 25 on Van Gelder paper) in the same year.
