1907. Fifth, revised, Edition. London, George Bell & Sons, 1907. 13 x 19 cm. XCII, 358 pages. Original Hardcover. Very good condition with minor signs of external wear. William Julius Mickle (September 29, 1734 in Langholm, in Dumfrieshire – October 28, 1788 in Forest Hill) was a Scottish poet. Son of the minister of Langholm, Dumfriesshire, he was for some time a brewer in Edinburgh, but failed. He moved to England where he worked as a corrector for the Clarendon Press at Oxford. In 1771-75 Mickle lodged at the manor house in Forest Hill, Oxfordshire. Mickle had various literary failures and minor successes until, while at Forest Hill, he produced his translation of the Lusiad, from the Portuguese of Luís de Camões. This was a success that brought him both fame and money. In 1777 he went to Portugal, where he was received with distinction.
