About This Item
[Toronto]: Privately Printed [for J. Dykes Campbell], 1862. 1 vols. 12mo. Full black morocco gilt, with the original wrappers bound in. Bookplate on front pastedown and clippling tipped in at rear. Hinges a little rubbed, else near fine. 1 vols. 12mo. Survivor of a Destroyed Tennyson Edition. A pirated edition of poems which Tennyson had published in his collections of 1830 and 1833, but which he later suppressed for the collected edition of 1842. These were compiled and edited by J. Dykes Campbell, who published a small edition at his own expense. Copies were put on the market in England by John Camden Hotten as "the choice poems that have been dropped or thrown aside by the Poet during his literary career...an exceedingly limited number of copies..." Tennyson brought suit against Hotten for breach of copyright, and the latter was forced to make an apology, pay £100, and deliver up all copies for destruction -- hence the scarcity of this book. Wise, Tennyson II, 1
