Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Tall octavo. 235mm x 150mm. 102 pages plus three pages of notes. No. 434 of 625 copies. No inscriptions or blemishes. Tan paper-covered boards. Brown cloth spine. Boards slightly darkened at the top edges, front and rear. Etchells [1886-1973] was an artist and architect. Under the Ha…slewood imprint, Etchells and Macdonald reprinted a number of titles of classical works together. This title was reprinted from the Bodleian copy. Sir John Davies [1569-1626] was a lawyer and poet. Marlowe [1564-1593] died tragically young, possibly in a bar room brawl having already established himself as a major playwright. Born in Canterbury, he attended the King's School. The Elegies here reprinted probably represent his earliest known writings.
