About This Item
Leith: Printed for the Author, and sold by James Burnet, 1815. xii, 181pp, [1]. With half-title. Contemporary half-calf over marbled boards. Worn, with rubbing and loss to spine, boards and extremities, cracking to joints (boards holding strong). Marbled endpapers with early Warwick bookseller's label. A rare collection of poetry by an anonymous Leith 'young lady', attributed in this copy (by Eric Quayle) to Mary Panton. Dedicated to Lady Anne Johnstone Hope, included are 'Lines on reading the Life and Poems of H.K. White' and ten sonnets. Apart from the Leith imprint, there is much to belie the Leith imprint: the list of subscribers is surprisingly English in nature; and indeed, as the British Critic noted with characteristic English pomp, 'the language is not alloyed with unintelligible Scotticisms'. COPAC locates copies at BL, Oxford, NLS and St. Andrews only, OCLC adds copies at Kansas, Miami and Oakland. Not in Jackson. Jackson, Romantic poetry by women p.387. Not in Johnson.. First edition. 8vo.
