About this Item

First Edition, first issue. (Correct watermark and all textual points mentioned by Randolph, Studies for Byron Bibliography.) xiii + errata page, 187 pp. Modern brown quarter calf period style, marbled paper sides, red morocco label with gilt rules, decorations, and lettering. Half-title present. Very Good with light occasional foxing.The first appearance of the book that brought young Lord Byron into the public eye, dismissed though it was by the Edinburgh Review as unremarkable juvenile verse, "effusions . spread over a dead flat," declaring to its readers "See how a minor can write!" Byron would indeed show them. He responded with his first satire English Bards and Scotch Reviewers in 1809. Seller Inventory # 180608001
