Uncut in orig. drab boards; recased, extremities sl. rubbed, corners a bit bumped. Pictorial bookplate of Samuel Hoare on leading pastedown. An interesting copy in boards retaining extra material to complete the Miscellaneous Poems set. Wise (18). Dedicated to his brother the Rev. Christopher Wordsworth. The prefatory 'advertisement' states: 'This Publication, together with 'The Thanksgiving Ode', Jan. 18. 1816, 'The Tale of Peter Bell,' and 'The Wagoner,' completes the third and last volume of the Author's Miscellaneous Poems.' This volume includes the title page and label slip for 'Poems' that would have allowed the volume to be rebound to complete the set that was published separately between 1816 and 1820.
