Marbled edges to text block remain pleasingly bright.**The material has been abstracted from Edinburgh's Blackwoods Magazine, where Prof. Wilson was a frequent contributor of essays, fiction, literary criticism and poetry between the years 1822 and 1835. The first four volumes contain the essays forming the "Nocte Ambrosianæ." As described in the Preface, this is the first authorized "New Edition" of "Nocte Ambrosianæ, overseen by the author's son-in-law , (preceded by an imperfect version published by an American, Dr. Shelton Mackenzie.) Each of these four has a tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait. * Collation: Vol 1, "Nochte"(1) (xxxviii), frontispiece portrait of Professor Wilson, after Christopher North, 384pp. (1).
