Poems and Ballads (Second Series)
Algernon Charles Swinburne
London: Chatto & Windus, 1878, London · 1878
First Edition. Good. First Edition.
First issue of this important collection by Swinburne. In publisher's dark blue cloth, lettered and ruled in gilt, edges uncut. 36pp publisher's catalogue (torn with loss on last page] dated March 1878 and announcing the present title. Some wear to extremities, ownership signature clipped from half-title, but a sound and clean copy of a scarce book.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
