What Our Customers Say...

Description

Original Binding

With frontispiece. Cottle, in his Early Recollections, chiefly relating to Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1837), enumerated his generosities to Coleridge and Southey, and entered into details of Coleridge's opium habit. ‘The confusion in Cottle's “Recollections” is greater than any one would think possible,’ said Southey; the book is inaccurate in its dates, and documents quoted are garbled. It has details on others such as Robert Lovell and William Gilbert. It has youthful portraits of Coleridge, Southey, Wordsworth, and Charles Lamb. A second edition was published in 1847 under the title of Reminiscences of Coleridge and Southey.

Condition

Rebacked in red cloth with original boards preserved. Externally, sound, though with some bumping to the extremities and some rubbing. Internally, firmly bound. Some loss to title page. Pages are generally bright and clean, aside from some browning to the first and last few pages.
