(Howes K20; Wagner- Camp IV: 26b:1; Graff 2280; Pilling 2066; Streeter 1785; Field 949) First British edition.William Hypolitus (or Hippolitus, or Hypolite) Keating was an American geologist. His father, Baron John Keating, of Irish ancestry, had been an officer in the French army in the West Indies and had settled in Wilmington, Delaware.

In 1822, he became Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the American Philosophical Society.

Exceedingly rare Venezuelan poem, printed in Caracas. 1839. Caracas. Imprenta de A. Damiron. In 8vo (192 mm x 123 mm). 1 [blank] + 8 ff. + vii + 1 ff. + 93. Later half calf, spine tooled in gilt. A fine copy, marginal soiling to a few pages, wide margins and strong impression; virtually flawless. Apparently first edition. Venezuelan early imprints are, for lack of a better word, rare; only a few examples of some works are found in the major libraries, not to mention a poem in such an elegant edition. The printer was responsible as well for the Geografía general para el uso de la juventud de Venezuela printed in 1833-37. It begins with an authorization from Martin Tovar and follows with a list of subscribers; a curiosity which allows us to learn who would order the poem in the first half of the 19th century, or the post-colonial Venezuela.
