About this Item
THREE VOLUMES UNIFORMLY BOUND. Portrait frontispiece of Shelley in Volume 1. Back strips of first two volumes are worn and soiled. Gilt lettering is readable. Volume 3 is much brighter. One quire in Volume 1 is partially loosened. These volumes were published for the Bibliophile Society. The original note books were owned by William K. Bixby. He was given permission to privately print 250 copies for presentation purposes, omitting the Bibliophile imprints. This is copy #130/250. The set is a presentation to the Grolier Club, SIGNED AND DATED on the front free endpaper by Mr. Bixby. The book-plate of the Grolier Club is affixed to the front pastedown acknowleding the gift. Furthermore, there is a letter tipped-in at the rear of Volume 1 on Mr. Bixby's letterhead confirming the gift. (See photos). The note books were deciphered, transcribed, and edited, with full commentary by H. Buxton Forman, C.B. In spite of the roughened bindings, this is a very good set and a fine addition to any English literature library. 209, 187, 179pp. Size: Royal Octavo. Seller Inventory # 013590
