There is a hole on the left edge of the loosely laid in letter where someone had removed it from a mounting. First edition. 2 vols. 8vo. With ALS From Bernard Barton in the Form of A Punning Poem. Laid in is an autograph letter, signed from the poet Bernard Barton to Yorke (sic) Clarke Esq. in the form of a punning poem based upon the motto on a wafer sent him which reads - "I trouble you with a line." The poem is one full page long and is dated 9/5/1840. Barton was a Quaker poet and a friend of Southey as well as one of Lamb's intimate circle of friends. A nice association.
