About This Item
New York: W.J. Widdleton, Publisher, 1866. The famed Irish poet and musician (1779-1852) first published this biography in 1825. This is a Very Good set of a later American printing. Two volumes, bound in green cloth; decoratively ruled on the covers; titling in gilt on the spine. Clean texts, generally clear, bright, and supple. Volume I has viii, continuing to 307 pages; Volume II has iv, continuing to 335 pages; brown endpapers. Faint previous-owner signature on the Title Pages; frontis portraits have some offset despite the tissue guards. Bumped, but not too badly; spines are rubbed head and foot, with Volume I a bit torn. The rear gutter of Volume I is cracked but holding well. Sound copies that still present nicely.. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
