Four volumes, complete. First English edition. 8vos.

Important for the significant amount of previously unpublished letters and poems. The rebacking has been done beautifully and the set presents itself very well. Internally there is a contemporary previous owner's name top of title page. The text is quite bright with minimal foxing. There are a few very small stains. Very good plus. Scarce.
