18283555Hull: Printed and sold by I. Wilson Lowgate 1828. Quarter calf paper boards. Good. FIRST EDITION INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. 8vo pp. xv i 'Errata' portrait frontis engraved by B. P. Gibbon. Contemporary quarter black calf spine lettered and decorated in gilt red paper boards. Green marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Rubbed and scored head of spine chipped corners rounded. Inscribed by Abbott in brown ink to first blank foxed esp. list of subscribers else clean and tight. Good A well-handled subscriber's copy of Thomas Eastoe Abbott's 1828 poem in memory of Prince Frederick Duke of York and Albany who had died in 1827 inscribed in the year of publication to "Sarah Coulson with the Author's affectionate regard—Bridlington 6 Augt 1828". Abbott's list of subscribers features a Robert Coulson Esq. Collector of Excise Newcastle-upon-Tyne who took four copies likely gifting this one to his relation wife or daughter Sarah who was evidently a close enough acquaintance of the author to merit the fond inscription. Thomas Eastoe Abbott 1786–1854 was an English poet and excise officer hence the connection with Coulson whose poems were described by the Darlington antiquarian and great-grandson of Elizabeth Gaunt daughter of the poet John Dyer William Hylton Dyer Longstaffe as "written with great simplicity of language full of genuine patriotism and Christianity; some of them much resembling in style that of Wordsworth".
