Descrizione

First Edition. With a woodcut vignette on the titlepage. 8vo, original printer's boards backed in green cloth, the spine with a paper label printed in black, now enclosed in quarter morocco slipcase. A lovely copy, scarce in the original printer's binding. the text is quite clean and fresh with just a little mottling and a few spots throughout, hinges neatly repaired at some earlier time.

Edizione: contains the first book printing of lamb's play, the wife's trial, which was not produced on stage. one of the first books issued with the moxon imprint. edward moxon would later lamb's adopted daughter emma isola. lamb, who was already a very popular and established author, collected these poems, verses, sonnets and other writings to help launch the publishing endeavor of his close friend and soon-to-be son-in-law. the work sold well enough to entice other authors to visit moxon's office; including shelley, tennyson, and wordsworth.
