Contents fair/good, mostly very good clean pages, but with some corner folds. Lacks all pages to ix , on ix the print starts with " Remarks on his life and writings by Thomas Campbell". The Poems at rear has it's title page, including publisher, date (1840) & "Bradbury and Evans printers Whitefriers" printed to rear of title page, preceding this on page 960 of the works has "the end" & "Bradbury and Evans printers to the Queen, Whitefriers" So safe to say the works were published by Edward Moxham but as not dated not sure if 1840 or a year or two earlier or later. So selling as a good reading copy. At time of listing could not find another copy for sale with both books in. If outside the UK, due to weight there will be a postage surcharge.
