Poetry

Shelley, Percy Bysshe (Poet). Book with Family Association

Bysshe Shelley Inscription

Horace

Opera

On the front free endpaper the inscription ‘Bysshe Shelley 1715 not his book but W. Nicholl’s’.

8vo. A very worn copy, the title page replaced in manuscript, so impossible to date, but clearly before 1715. The pages held together reasonably soundly.

Bound in a full leather binding, panelled calf, the boards loose but attached, but the binding very worn: leather missing from the bottom of the back cover and much of the spine. Read more about Shelley, Percy Bysshe (Poet). Book with Family Association
