Copy of William Henry Sedley Smith 1806-1872 with his pencil signature on free front endpaper. Bound with the first American editions of Thomas Love Peacocks works:"Headlong Hall" was Peacock's first novel originally published in England in 1815. Set at a Welsh country manor it is peopled by a set of characters each embodying a particular intellectual obsession and is replete with comic and satirical elements. "Nightmare Abbey" originally published in England in 1818 was Peacock's most famous and enduring work filled with gothic motifs like shadowy manor houses with secret rooms and sliding panels. In point of fact the book is a series of satirical romances poking fun at some the major figures of the Romantic Movement; Byron appears as Mr. Cypress Coleridge Mr. Floskey and Shelley Scythrop Glowry. Smith was an actor and stage manager who first appeared in the United States at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia in 1827.
