Description: The Seventh edition, a very nice copy in later half leather. Pages are viii, 376, viii (less blank leaf), 316. Engraved frontispiece and title page and one other engraved plate. In fine condition but for some foxing to the engraved plates with a little offsetting to facing pages, all other pages very clean. Henry Kirke White (1785-1806) was born in Nottingham the son of a butcher. He is not widely known as a poet, perhaps because he died at the age of 21, and Robert Southey, his friend and later Poet Laureate, is more widely known. This book, first published in 1808, serves as a autobiography in letters and verse.

Description: FIRST EDITION. 12mo, 158 x 97 mms., pp. [viii], 232, engraved frontispiece, 7 engraved plates, contemporary half calf, gilt spine, marbled boards; joints and spine rubbed, boards slightly rubbed, but a good copy. This work was one of Southey's more successful ones, going through three editions very quickly, and it attracted positive reviews. The Annti-Jacobin Review commented that "We have accompanied Mr. Southey through his pilgrimage with unmixed pleasure, with satisfaction unalloyed"; while Jospeh Conder was glad to see that "heroical descriptions of the battle itself" were avoided. The critic for The Monthly Review seemed very pleased with himself for being able to discern the poem's merits: "we have analyzed and synthesized the properties and peculiarities of Mr. Southey's muse on several occasions, we shall only now have the more pleasing task to perform, of justifying our preceding praise by various selections from this most interesting little volume."
