ADAMS, JOHN QUINCY President ]. ROGERS, SAMUEL. Poems. London, 1834. Numerous engraved vignettes. 8vo, full morocco, some wear to joints and corners; upper hinge cracked, some scattered foxmarks. WITH A 10-LINE INSCRIPTION BY ADAMS on a sheet bound in before title-page which reads (in a very shaky hand): "Mr. H.H. Emmons requests the acceptance by J. de Meredith Esq. of two volumes of poems by the most pleasing English Poet of the present century--The Pleasures of Memory perhaps entitle him to a station among the fruits of a former age, with the Bards of Avon and of Thames, and of Siloasbrook that flood fast by the Oracle of God. John Quincy Adams Quincy 15 Oct. 1847."
