Philadelphia and New York: Published by Bradford and Inskeep; and Inskeep and Bradford, 1813., 1813.. Fair. - Octavo, 6-7/8 inches high by 4-3/8 inches wide. Two volumes uniformly bound in early brown calf with gilt titled leather labels and gilt rules on the spines. The warped covers are rubbed and scuffed and the leather is splitting along the joints. There is heavy chipping to the second volume's spine with partial loss of that volume's title label. 283 pages & 305 pages respectively, illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of William Shakespeare, engraved by Edwin after a painting by Zoust, at the front of the first volume. The hinges are cracking and there is a small piece out from the top of the front endpaper of the first volume. Several signatures are slightly pulled. The edges of the first and last few pages of each volume are darkened and there is scattered foxing throughout with occasional light dampstaining. A complete set which collates perfectly with Welch 744, including the presence of the half-title at the front of the first volume.
First American edition.
RARE. [Shaw & Shoemaker 28900]; [Rosenbach 476]; [Welch 744, locates the following copies: PP (Free Library of Philadelphia, Rosenbach Collection); MH (Harvard University); MA (American Antiquarian Society, volume 1 only); NN (New York Public Library, lacks the first volume's half-title); PPL (Library Company of Philadelphia)].
Printed by J. Maxwell, this work contains 6 pieces by Charles Lamb and 14 by Mary Lamb.
"It has been the general sentiment that the style in which these Tales are written, is not so precisely adapted for the amusement of mere children, as for an acceptable and improving present to young ladies advancing to the state of womanhood. They therefore now offer to the public an edition prepared with suitable elegance...." - [Quoted from the Advertisement to this edition].
