Item description from seller

Five volumes bound as four (instalments two and three together). Partially unopened in original publisher's blue cloth-backed paper boards. Fore and bottom edges foxed and untrimmed, some pages unopened. Armorial bookplates of Oliver Sylvain Baliol Brett, third Viscount Esher (1881-1963) to all FEPs, scattered spotting. Robert Seymour Bridges (1844 -1930) was a British writer who produced poetry, prose, and hymns, and who was Poet Laureate from 1913 to 1930. He developed a new phonetic spelling of the English language, created the poetic theory of elision, and translated many hymns from Ancient Greek, Latin and German. A devoted Christian, Bridges was instrumental in the posthumous fame of fellow Christian Hymn writer Gerard Manley Hopkins. Size: 8vo.
