About This Item
London: John Murray..., 1830. FIRST EDITION. Tall 8vo, 218 x 131 mms., pp. [iv] [5] - 160 [161 - 168 adverts], original boards (worn); front cover detached, but a presentation copy, with this presentation inscription on the recto of the first blank leaf: "Presented to the Bath Literary/ Institution/ by/ Henry E. Carrington/ Oct. 1830," the author's son; and with a book label on the front paste-down end-paper, also signed by H. E. Carrington. Carrington (1770 - 1830) was a school master for many years and contributed verses to various magazines and newspapers. ODNB records that "His poems are chiefly descriptive of the scenery and traditions of his native county and possess literary grace, but lack any striking individuality in matter or manner."
