Item description from seller

FIRST EDITION, 16mo., 155 x 95mm., pp.xx,175; handsome full tan calf; backstrip elaborately gilt in six compartments with contrasting morocco labels, c.1900, signed 'Perkins & Cecil'; ex libris `Edward Cecil Guinness', the fabulously wealthy Dublin brewer & First Earl of Iveagh. Having published his Odes of Anacreon in 1800 and with a growing popularity as a writer of songs, Moore's subterfuge of anonymity was perhaps due to the mildly erotic nature of this verse which caused him some embarrassment (and doubtless much popularity). This first edition is rare. A happy combination of two of Ireland's greatest exports.
