About This Item
London: Edward Moxon, Dover Street, 1837. Later edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo. [5], vi-ix, [4], 2-306, [2] pp. Latter nineteenth-century (ca. 1875) smooth-grained green morocco with gilt pointillé on the boards, gilt decorations on the boards and spine, gilt decorations to the turn-ins, spine in six compartments with gilt lettering; all edges gilt. Marbled endpapers and pastedowns. Bound by Riviere. Illustrated with a frontispiece and a plate from the 1828 first edition of Campbell's collected poems pasted onto a blank leaf tipped in after the frontispiece. With twenty additional in-text steel engravings by Edward Goodall after drawings by J.M.W. Turner. The second Edward Moxon edition, first printed in 1836. With three hand-written notes from Thomas Campbell to the owner of the volume (J. Christie of Lincoln Inn Fields). Two letters are pasted on the pastedowns, one is attached with archival tape to the first blank leaf, and a fourth hand-written note sent on behalf of Campbell is laid in. The letters refer to a respectful correspondence between the two, perhaps even a semi-patronage. A stunning copy of Campbell's poems, beautifully illustrated. A touch of foxing to the leaves, overall a lovely copy.
