182853688Philadelphia: Carey Lea and Carey 1828. First American Edition First Printing. Original Boards. Very good. First American editions of both volumes and the first complete edition as the second volume was not published in England until 1833 the first American edition was unauthorized. The term "second edition" appears on the title page of volume I because the first edition had been published in London in 1823; all copies of the first American edition bear this "second edition" statement. Both volumes are in the original boards. Volume I is in blue unprinted boards with cream paper spine and spine label this appears to be a variant binding as most others we've seen were in yellow printed boards. Front outer joint partly cracked spine a bit cupped but an otherwise clean bright untrimmed copy; about very good. Volume II is very good or better in the publisher's yellow printed boards with red muslin spine and spine label. Mild wear to corners but a very sharp sound example. Occasional very light foxing to both volumes but much less so than usual. Both volumes bear the leather bookplates of Arthur M. Brown as well as another early 20th century bookplate. Volume I also has another bookplate and ownership signature both belonging to minor poet and Episcopal priest Charles West Thomson. It is likely that this set was married around the turn of the century. Housed in green cloth dust jackets with gilt spine titles and matching slipcases with green morocco edges. Very good. Hardcover. <br /> <br />The first collected editions of these much-loved essays by Charles Lamb which appeared in the London Magazine in the early 1820s. Those editions being highly ephemeral and difficult to obtain this partly pirated American edition represents the first reasonably obtainable complete edition of his collected essays. <br /> <br />Often found rebound or in rough condition this is an appealing set. <br /> <br/><br/> Carey, Lea and Carey hardcover

Lady Caroline Lamb's notorious and deliriously written roman à clé to exact her revenge on Byron for her seduction and abandonment. When our protagonist Calantha encounters Ruthven Glenarvon i.e. Byron her helplessness is described thus:<br/>"The eye of the rattle-snake it has been said once fixed upon its victim overpowers it with terror and alarm: the bird thus charmed dares not attempt its escape; it sings its last sweet lay; flutters its little pinions in the air then falls like a shot before its destroyer unable to fly from his fascination. Calantha bowed therefore with the rest pierced to the heart at once by the maddening power that destroys alike the high and low; but she liked not the wily turn of his eye the contemptuous sneer of his curling lip the soft passionless tones of his voice . "<br/><br/>Byron's dismissive response in a letter to Thomas Moore: "As for the likeness the picture can't be good - I did not sit still long enough" Summers p. 341; Tinker 1454; Wise Byron II pp. 69-70; Wolff 3938 lacks half-titles Henry Colburn unknown books

Octodecimo contemporary calf bound in three-quarters morocco over marbled boards with gilt ruling to the spine with 23 of 24 hand-colored plates with The Knight missing as is common for this title. In very good condition bookplate to the front pastedown and ownership inscription to front free endpaper. Charles Lamb 1775–1834 was an English essayist poet and writer best known for his works Essays of Elia and Tales from Shakespeare. Although primarily celebrated for his literary essays Lamb also ventured into social commentary as seen in his lesser-known work A Book Explaining the Ranks and Dignities of British Society 1811. The book offers a satirical yet insightful exploration of the various classes and social hierarchies in British society during the early 19th century. Written in a light and engaging style it critiques the class distinctions and often mocks the pretensions of the British aristocracy reflecting Lamb's sharp wit and social awareness.
