DESCRIPTION
Very scarce first and only printing, privately printed.
This is an interesting collection of poetry, particularly from the Romanticism movement, presented alongside Latin translations of the works by Oswald Augustus Smith.
Smith decided to privately print this work after discovering that he had never seen a complete Latin version of Goldsmith's 'The Deserted Village'.
Other contents within this unique work include 'Harmosan' by Trench, 'Our Ironclads' by Tennyson, and 'While on the Cliff, etc.' S. Rogers.
Translated by Oswald Augustus Smith (1826-1902).
Collated, complete.
CONDITION
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Light bumping to the extremities and the spine, with a few marks to boards. Front hinge is starting. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with the odd spot to the fore edge of text.
Overall Condition: Very Good
