Rare, fully leather bound edition of "Mrs. Hemans Poetical Works", printed by Morrison and Gibb, Edinburgh, Printers to Her Majesty's … more Rare, fully leather bound edition of "Mrs. Hemans Poetical Works", printed by Morrison and Gibb, Edinburgh, Printers to Her Majesty's Stationery Office, and published by W. P. Nimmo, Hay, & Mitchell of Edinburgh. This rarity was published sometime between 1835 and 1894. These dates are certain, as the romantic poetess Felicia Hemans passed in 1835 in Dublin, Ireland, and this book was gifted with a hand inscribed note dated June 21, 1894 (see photo). This book is with memoir, explanatory notes, etc., and contains a portrait of the artist and original illustrations. It also contains a book mark with handwritten notations. Black end papers, gilt edges. 708 pages.

The gilt edged pages of text are in excellent antique condition. There is damage to the black pastedown sheets (the sheet pasted against the inside covers), and staining to the title page and its tissue paper. Overall, this approximately 150 year old book of poetry is in remarkable condition.

I purchased this antique book in Ireland about 35 years ago. I have not seen another exactly like it. This rare antique would make a wonderful addition to a collection, as well as a touching, very special gift. less
