Original red leather binding, worn and rubbed. Boards ruled in gold gilt. Spine perished. Front board detached. Hardbound. Fair. Thomas Campbell (1777-1844) was a Scottish poet chiefly remembered for his sentimental poetry. He seems to have been highly regarded in Pennsylvania for his 'Gertrude of Wyoming; A Pennsylvanian Tale' (1809). It is a romantic epic in Spenserian stanza that is set in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania, and deals with the massacre that occurred there on July 3, 1778. On that day, more than three hundred American Revolutionaries died at the hands of Loyalists and their Iroquois allies. At the time, it was widely believed that the attack was led by Joseph Brant; in the poem, Brant is described as the "Monster Brant" because of the atrocities committed, although it was later determined that Brant had not actually been present. The poem has been criticized for other historical inaccuracies. Nonetheless the poem enjoyed great popularity. PAIMP 25

pp. vi, 245. Small 8vo. 160 mm. Paper age toned. Contemporary (likely original) full leather binding. Front board almost detached. Early manuscript ownership of H. Laight. Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831) a Scottish novelist and miscellaneous writer, known as the 'Addison of the North.' Mackenzie had attempted to interest publishers in what would become his first and most famous work, 'The Man of Feeling' for several years, but they would not accept it, even as a gift. Finally, Mackenzie published it anonymously in 1771, and it became instantly successful. His "Man of Feeling" is a weak creature, dominated by a futile benevolence, who goes up to London and falls into the hands of people who exploit his kind innocence. In contrast to the masculine ideals of the Age of Reason, it inaugurated a vogue for a new kind of hero - a sensitive male. The book looks forward to the kind of Romantic- era heroes who were unashamed to weep. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! VERIA 2
