1860023316Boston: Little Brown and Co 1860. 12mo. In five volumes. Portrait frontispiece in volume 1. These volumes were at first intended to be a little more than a reprint of the edition published in 1839. But the necessity of reducing the annotations to a more compact form and the hope of making some improvements led to alterations becoming more extensive as it progressed. The glossary had been entirely reconstructed. The life of the Poet is believed to be more complete and more correct than any former biography. A very good set bound in full contemporary calf boards triple ruled in blind slightly raised bands gilt with compartments fully gilt decorated red morocco spine labels gilt all edges marbled with matching endpapers Bookplate belonging to Minot Volume 4 with chip to head some light chipping to foot of volume 3 and wear through to corners a few spots of rubbing internally clean and bright without foxing.

William Pickering's The Aldine Edition of the British Poets was a reprint series of classic literature printed by his close collaborator Charles Whittingham. Pickering 1796-1854 is remembered for "the introduction of cloth binding leading to the wider availability of books at lower prices 5 shillings per cloth volume as here; the publication of reputable editions of both standard and neglected works; and a close attention to book design which had a lasting influence" ODNB. And for his friendly manner and fondness for maroon waistcoats apparently. Elias Cathcart 1817-1877 of Auchendrane was a Scottish Advocate and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 1826–39.
