Sutter House, Lititz, first edition, 1979. Cloth, gilt cover device, 8vo,. xx, 123 pp. Randolph gives full and detailed physical descriptions and publishing histories for Byron's own works, contributions to works of others, and privately printed and suppressed works. Includes much correction and amplification of material in Wise's bibliography. From a contemporary review: ". In the first are described first and later editions of Byron's works (usually only the first three editions unless 'an edition following the third contains a key alteration of text or form', p. xvii); in the second part are listed volumes primarily written or edited by others in which works by Byron were first published; and in the last section are details of privately printed and suppressed Byron editions. Randolph saw all the volumes described and, although he died very suddenly at the age of 22, many were in his own collection, begun at the early age of fifteen. Cover gilt is rubbed, otherwise Very Good.
