Blue Poetry Book. LANG (Andrew) - editor.

£150.00

Edited by Andrew Lang. New Edition, With Notes.

Title printed in red and black within a decorative border.

Small 8vo. [167 x 110 x 8 mm. viii, 243 pp. Printed on India paper. Bound in the publisher's blue cloth, the front cover blocked in gilt, the spine lettered in gilt, blue and gilt floral endleaves, gilt edges.
London & New York: Longmans, Green & Co. 1892

A fine copy of this delightful India Paper Edition, published a year after the first edition, with a few added notes and textual corrections. The design of the front cover is taken from an Italian binding of the XVth century, figured in Libri's Monuments Inédits.

Inscribed in ink by the editor on the front endleaf: "Ex Dono Editoris A.L. see note on Collins". The note on pp.240-1 includes the lines: "Mr Gosse informs me that Collins is supposed to have referred to the men who fell at Fontenoy" and "Mr Gosse adds that Collins would hardly have sympathised with the Highlanders". Perhaps this is a clue as to the identity of the recipient. Andrew Lang (1844-1912) and Edmund Gosse (1849-1928) were close friends, correspondents and collaborators.
