Apart from Juvenilia (1801), this is Leigh Hunts earliest solo publication, and extremely scarce. Complete with half title, 8pp. prospectus for The Examiner, and a single page of adverts at end. An interesting association copy, inscribed by Chas W Reynell (19th century printer/publisher and close friend of Leigh Hunt) to William Farren, presumably the actor mentioned by Hunt in Our Town and other works. There is , in Reynell's hand on the half title, an 8 line quote from the Times of Sept 4th 1850, referring to Leigh Hunt and the theatre, and a seven line pencil note on the verso of the half title, signed CWR, giving a critical assessment of this work. Hunt was visiting Reynell in August 1859 when he died of exhaustion. Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
