Lot Description

COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor (1772-1834). Sibylline Leaves: A Collection of Poems. London: Rest Fenner, 1817.


8vo (215 x 130 mm). (Lacking half-title, a few stains.) Contemporary calf (rebacked, with repairs to hinges and spine). Provenance: John Wordsworth (1805-1839), nephew of William Wordsworth (signature on verso of flyleaf).

FIRST EDITION, with several of Coleridge's best-known works, including "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Fears in Solitude," "The Eolian Harp," "The Nightingale," "Dejection," and "France." John Evans & Co. abandoned a project to print a two-volume edition of Biographia Literaria and Sibylline Leaves in 1815. Fenner acquired the sheets, printed preliminaries, and issued this work in 1817; thus, "Vol. II" appears on several leaves throughout the text. Ashley I, p.206; Tinker 697; Wise Coleridge, 45.

Property from the Collection of Robert S. Brown, Cincinnati, Ohio

This lot is located in Chicago.
