The volume is bound in an attractive, period-correct full crimson straight-grained morocco, presenting a handsome and tight exterior. The binding remains remarkably robust, with the boards holding firmly and the joints exhibiting no signs of splitting or weakness; a structural integrity that justifies a strong grade despite internal flaws. The gilt tooling, comprising double-ruled borders to the boards and ruled spine bands framing the author's name, retains a pleasing, unoxidised brightness. Minor shelf-wear is evident at the extremities, particularly a touch of rubbing to the head and tail of the spine and the board corners. Internally, the condition drops slightly; while the text block remains tight and secure, there is pronounced foxing to the preliminary leaves, most notably affecting the endpapers, the engraved frontispiece, and the title page. This localised foxing and age-toning preclude a higher designation, but the resilient structure and the aesthetic charm of the surviving Regency-era binding firmly anchor the book in the Very Good category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e This early nineteenth-century pocket edition of Milton’s masterpiece is a characteristic example of the miniature formats produced by London publishers during the Regency period.

Milton's sweeping narrative not only reimagines the celestial war between God and Lucifer but also profoundly explores themes of free will, divine providence, and human redemption.

The leather spines present excellently, showing no significant shelf-wear or rubbing to the extremities, and the gilt ruling and lettering remain notably bright and unoxidised, avoiding the dullness often seen in older spine tooling. Internally, the text block boasts traditional untrimmed deckle edges. The pages show moderate, age-appropriate toning and scattered foxing, characteristic of the paper stock used in 1820, but remain remarkably clean and perfectly legible without any distracting internal damage or heavy soiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\" id=\"p-rc_aac6a6c0fc91befa-327\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note: \u003c\/b\u003eTrue\u003cspan class=\"citation-1131 citation-end-1131\"\u003e first edition of Robert Anderson's collected poetical works, issued in 1820 from his hometown of Carlisle.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"3\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The publication was driven by a subscription campaign designed to alleviate the poet's financial distress, successfully drawing over a thousand subscribers. \u003cspan class=\"citation-1130 citation-end-1130\"\u003eNotably, the list of subscribers printed at the rear of the second volume features the names of William Wordsworth (whose poem \"Lucy Gray\" was directly influenced by Anderson's earlier work) and Robert Southey.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"4\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\" id=\"p-rc_aac6a6c0fc91befa-328\"\u003eThis two-volume set remains scarce on the open market, particularly as an uncut copy that preserves the original margins. \u003cspan class=\"citation-1129 citation-end-1129\"\u003eAlongside his famous dialect ballads, this edition is highly valued for containing Anderson's own autobiographical essay, offering a vital firsthand account of a prominent English labouring-class poet.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"5\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\" id=\"p-rc_aac6a6c0fc91befa-329\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-1128 citation-end-1128\"\u003eRobert Anderson (1770–1833) was an English labouring-class poet best known for his vivid, unsentimental, and frequently humorous depictions of Cumbrian rural life.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"6\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This comprehensive two-volume collection brings together his beloved \"Cumberland Ballads,\" alongside a variety of sonnets, reflections, and miscellanies. \u003cspan class=\"citation-1127 citation-end-1127\"\u003eGrounded in the authentic dialect and customs of the region, the work also features a poignant autobiographical preface by Anderson and a supporting essay by Thomas Sanderson exploring the unique character and manners of the Cumberland peasantry, making it a cornerstone of northern English regional literature.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"7\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54210045935955,"sku":"4425","price":194.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260623_123619.jpg?v=1783284703"},{"product_id":"songs-comic-and-satyrical-george-alexander-stevens-1st-edition","title":"Songs, Comic, and Satyrical, George Alexander Stevens — 1st Edition","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\" id=\"p-rc_8285cb4ede2f95ac-53\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-79\"\u003ePublication:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-79 citation-end-79\"\u003e Oxford, Printed for the Author, 1772.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\" id=\"p-rc_8285cb4ede2f95ac-53\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"51\"\u003eFormatting:\u003c\/b\u003e 12mo, pp. [xvi], 247, [1]. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report: \u003c\/b\u003eVery Good.
