Seller's Description:
None. Very Good. A reflective poem by a celebrated but largely forgotten poet of the Romantic Period. A smart copy in full calf of the 1820 second edition of Samuel Rogers's reflective poem 'Human Life'. His literary output was notoriously slow, and this poem is said to have taken him 12 years to complete. In a panelled calf binding, with blind tooled floral motif to the front board. Â Despite being one of the most celebrated English poets of his day, Roger's fame has since been greatly overshadowed by his friends Coleridge, Wordsworth and Byron. Bears a contemporary dedication dated 23rd August 1824, to 'Miss Ann Wallace, with the wishes and esteem of A Friend'. A former owner's inscription is also present on a front endpaper, 'D. L. Cumming'. In a full calf binding. Externally, generally smart. A few light marks to the boards, and some light rubbing to the joints resulting in a little loss to the leather. Front hinge is slightly strained but remains firm. Former owner's inscription to the recto of front endpaper, and a contemporary dedication to the recto of front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Occasional pencil notations for emphasis to the margins, not obscuring the text. Pages are slightly age toned with occasional light spots and marks to pages. Very Good.
