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

Fine set with a tiny puncture and a creased lower corner to title page in Vol. I and ownership signatures in pencil to title pages. Overall a gorgeous and clean set. Lady Caroline Lamb's third novel Ada Reis follows the roguish title character who is sold into bondage at a young age and grows to be a hard-drinking and murderous young man. He later receives a prophecy from a sorcerer that he "shall be king in another land" and his illegitimate daughter Fiormonda "shall wear an imperial crown." In Lamb's introduction she writes that the book is the "simple narrative of what occurred to Ada Reis and his daughter that those who read may place the awful record in their hearts and learn to worship God and to be humble in themselves." The narrative is fictionally presented as a real manuscript that has been translated into English from Arabic Spanish and Inga. Lady Caroline Lamb 1785 - 1828 was a novelist best known for her debut work Glenarvon 1816 which caused a sensation when it was published. The book featured a title character based heavily on Lord Byron with whom Lamb had an intense affair with between March and August of 1812. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

First edition. ii 295; ii 390; ii 322 pp. lacking half-titles. 3 vols. 12mo. 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 /> <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 .
