Elia: Essays Which Have Appeared Under that Signature in the London Magazine First and Second Series

1828réf. 53688Philadelphia: 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. 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. Often found rebound or in rough condition this is an appealing set. Carey, Lea and Carey hardcover
