Sidney Owenson, Lady Morgan, France. London, printed for Hen - Lot 424
Sidney Owenson, Lady Morgan, France. London, printed for Henry Colburn, 1817. In-4 of XV-252-248-CXV pp., long-grained red half-maroquin, spine ribbed, fully untrimmed (Fields). First edition. The false title seems to be missing. "It is a superficial book; Lady Morgan had neither the firm enough judgment nor the sure enough eye, to judge a great country with one look; but one finds in it many curious anecdotes, salon remarks, satirical portraits sketched with spirit, spiritual words; the whole strewn with a certain number of anchronisms and errors, at least singular ones" (Larousse). Nice copy. Crowned figure at the tail.
