About This Item
London: Printed for J. Murray, 1790. A New Edition. Hardcover. Good. 16mo 6" - 7" tall. A perfectly serviceable reference copy of a stated New Edition of the poetry of "Mr. Gray," Thomas Gray (1716-1771). Nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy. Bound in light gray paper over boards, moderately soiled and worn, brown paper over spine, worn at spine head and foot, title penned to spine head. Likely a rebound edition insofar as original front and rear wraps appear to be missing, thus the entirety having been bound in. Collated thus: Advertisement to this Edition; a short biography, the Last Will and Testament of Mr. Gray, Tears of Genius, an Ode, Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat, drowned in a Tub of Gold Fishes," and plentiful additional poems. Two fine duotone engraved plates, quite fine. Moderate foxing throughout, but generally clean and bright. His Wikipedia entry notes that Thomas Gray "was an English poet, letter-writer, classical scholar, and fellow at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He is widely known for his Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, published in 1751" and that he only published 13 poems in his lifetime.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
