Catalogue Note

Second edition, with major additions. Volume II contains the first appearance of "Sonnets from the Portuguese," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's best known poems.  The publisher's address in the imprint is in the second state, as usual (193 Picadilly, as opposed to 186 Strand). A fine copy.
