London: M J Godwin, 1811. First edition. Leather. Good. 7" by 4". None. A scarce, early first edition of this book of poetry for schools. By Charles and Mary Lamb, published under the pseudonym W. F. Mylius. With two engravings: a frontispiece and one further plate, both illustrative of the plate. The work contains 22 items from Poetry for Children (1809), and selections from other authors as well as a new poem, "A Birth-Day Thought".

Extensive notes by early owner in pen, and another in pencil detail the edition..."Since the title-page notes that the volume is sold bound in sheep with two engravings, this uncut version which lacks the engravings should not be regarded as defective since, they are not 'called for." [Pencil note by William St Clair]. The work contains twenty-nine original poems by Charles Lamb under… Leer más
