Sobre este artículo
London: London: Printed for the author, by T. Collins, Harvey's Buildings, Strand; and published by C. Chapple, Pall-Mall., 1808. 1st Edition . Full leather. Good. First edition; four volumes; octavo. 194; 210; 219; 258, [ii]pp. In contemporary full tree calf (worn with relatively minor loss to extremities), flat spines divided into six compartments by gilt double fillets with gilt lettered spine labels in second compartments. Moderate dampstaining to rear board and opening and closing leaves of volume one, with neat repairs to damp damage on front board of volume one; half titles present in all volumes; original title pages missing and resupplied in good facsimile on matching antique paper. Early pencil ownership inscriptions to front free endpapers. Overall a very presentable copy of this Regency novel telling the tale of the trials and injustices set upon the heroine Alzylia and the struggles of her lover Leonilus to liberate her. Its florid style and the occasional deployment of gothic devices make the work quite unique but we have been unable to discover anything of its author. Exceptionally rare; COPAC records UK institutional holdings at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Oxford Universities only.
