About This Item

Oldham: Printed by Hirst & Rennie, 1864. xi, [1], 178pp. Original publisher's blind-stamped blue cloth, lettered in gilt to upper board. A trifle rubbed. Endpapers stained, blind-stamps of the Werneth Mechanics Institute, Oldham, to title page, and leaves B2, C2, and C3. Ink inscription to recto of FFEP: 'Presented to the / Werneth Mechanic's / Institution / by / Mr. Wallace Rennie / Decr. 5th 1865'. The first edition of a collection of verse by James Taylor 'The Royton Poet', posthumously published by private subscription for the benefit of his widow. Taylor received no formal education, his parents fearing that were he literate he would become an irreligious radical. He evidently defied them. A journeyman cotton-weaver, by the 1820s Taylor was publishing for periodicals under the pseudonym 'poor poet'. OCLC and COPC together record copies at five locations (BL, California, Manchester, Stamford, and Yale). . First edition. 12mo.

Antiquates Ltd

Antiquates Ltd was established by Tom Lintern-Mole in 2007; we travel far and wide to buy, sell, and advise on rare books and manuscripts.

Concentrating on hand-press printing and early modern manuscripts, we pride ourselves on offering a varied selection of antiquarian works on a diverse range of subjects, leaning towards the interesting, the important, and the unusual.

We have a countryside bookshop in Wareham; we also regularly issue catalogues - do ask if you would like to be added to our mailing list - and frequently exhibit at regional and national book fairs in London, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, and York.

We also offer a valuation service (for either insurance or probate purposes), as well as advice on library development.
