First Edition Signed
First edition. [4], xi, [1], 111pp, [1]. With a half-title and an initial leaf of publisher's advertisements. Uncut in original publisher's buff paper boards, printed paper lettering-piece to spine. Lightly rubbed, chipping to spine. Recent book-label of Eric Gerald Stanley to FEP, scattered spotting. Presentation copy, inked inscription to head of half-title: 'With the Author's Respects / June 4th 1822'. The first edition, in original state, of a blank verse poem by Church of England clergyman William Lisle Bowles (1762-1850) that takes as its inspiration the rebellions of the Danes and earls against William the Conqueror. The work was not as favourably reviewed as his earlier efforts. The Eclectic Review (1823) wrote: 'We have that respect for Mr. Bowles as an old acquaintance, that would lead us to speak as favourably as we can of his present production; but the truth is, that he has attempted something above his reach. This, in a young writer, would bespeak a commendable ambition: in a veteran, it indicates a mistaken estimate of his powers'. Jackson p.481. Size: 8vo.
