First edition, 12mo, 2 vols., in one, [8], 268; 269-497, [1]pp., contemporary smooth plum calf, spine gilt tooled, all edges gilt. HOLLAND, JOHN (17941872), poet and miscellaneous writer, son of John Holland, optical instrument maker, of Richmond Hill, in the parish of Handsworth, Yorkshire, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Cox of Staveley, was born in Sheffield Park on 14 March 1794, and brought up to his father's trade, which he soon abandoned for literary pursuits. Several of his poems attracted the notice of James Montgomery, who became his attached friend. About 1818 he was appointed one of the secretaries of the Sheffield Sunday School Union, and from 1825 to 1832 he was, in succession to Montgomery, editor of the 'Sheffield Iris.' In 1832 he became editor of the 'Newcastle Courant,' but returned to Sheffield in 1833, and acted as joint editor of the 'Sheffield Mercury' from 1835 till the discontinuance of that journal in 1848. In acknowledgment of his journalistic services an annuity of 100l. was subscribed for by ten gentlemen of Sheffield, and presented to him in 1870. He died at his residence in Sheffield Park on 28 Dec. 1872, and was buried in Handsworth churchyard. (DNB).
