COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor (1772-1834). Sibylline Leaves: A Collection of Poems . London: S. Curtis for Rest Fenner (preliminaries in gathering [A]), [text printed in Bristol by John Evans & Co.], 1817. 8° (224 x 140 mm). Half-title and errata leaf. (Occasional very minor pale spotting as often.) Original blue-grey boards, printed paper spine label, uncut; quarter blue morocco folding case. Provenance : “S.W.H.” (Inner Temple bookplate). FIRST EDITION . Among Coleridge's major works here collected are "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "The Nightingale," "Dejection: An Ode" and "France: An Ode." This was original projected to be the second part of an intended two-volume project consisting of Biographia Literaria and Sibylline Leaves , printed by John Evans & Co. of Bristol in 1814-15 (hence the appearance of the register ‘Vol. II’ at intervals in the text). This project was abandoned and the sheets were acquired by Rest Fenner who printed the preliminaries and issued the work, as here, in 1817. Ashley I, p.206; Tinker 697; Wise Coleridge , 45. AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS .
