LARGE PAPER COPY LIMITED AND THE BEST OF THE COLLECTED EDITIONS OF BROWNING'S WORK. AN APPEALING SET OF THE WRITINGS BY THIS GREAT POET OF 19TH CENTURY ENGLAND. The first collected edition of Browning's poems appeared in two volumes in 1849 but consisted only of "Bells and Pomegranates" and "Paracelsus". Although the present is called the"third" edition presumably in deference to a selection of Browning's work edited by John Forster and Barry Cornwall and published by Chapman and Hall in the previous year although dated 1863 on the title it is in fact only the second and the first to attain any semblance of completeness. The three volumes are divided into "Lyrics Romances Men and Women" a volume formed by combining the "Dramatic Romances and Lyrics" of the 1849 edition with the poems of "Men and Women" published in 1855; "Tragedies and other Plays"; and "Paracelsus Christmas Eve and Easter Day Sordello". This set represents the most complete edition of all of Robert Browning's work and is printed in its most beautiful style on large and special hand made paper. Smith, Elder & Co. hardcover
