8vo. Half-title. (Spotting.) ORIGINAL DRAB BOARDS, UNCUT (spine ends worn and partially detached, splitting to joints, fore-corners rubbed).

FIRST EDITION. Among Coleridge's major works here collected are "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "The Nightingale," "Dejection: An Ode," and "France: An Ode." This was originally projected to be the second part of an intended two-volume project consisting of Biographia Literaria and Sibylline Leaves, printed by John Evans & Co. of Bristol in 1814-15 (hence the appearance of the register ‘Vol. II’ at intervals in the text). This project was abandoned and the sheets were acquired by Rest Fenner, who printed the preliminaries and issued the work, as here, in 1817. Ashley I, p.206; Tinker 697; Wise Coleridge, 45.
