Dealer Notes
FIRST EDITION, a significant Wordsworth contribution title that was considerably recast for the second printing of the following year. The first edition is very scarce and desirable, often problematic in terms of completeness, there being no list of illustrations. This copy collates correctly against the Bodleian copy to be found online.
