Presentation copy, inscribed '1838 This Book was presented to Sir Edward Sugden by one of its authors and his faithful friend and servant James Smith' A presentation copy of one of the most significant works, and inventive parodies, of the Romantic era. The brothers Horace (1779-1849) and James Smith (1775-1839), within the conceit of Rejected addreses from a supposed poetry competition, successfully send up the major (and several minor) poets of the Romantic age. This copy was evidently presented to Sir Edward Sugden (1781-1875), English lawyer, writer and Conservative politician in the year before James Smith's death. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # AQ12747
