Publication details: Printed for J. Bell,1805,
Rare Book
An attractive little book of love lyrics, including translations from Catullus and Ovid, and imitations of epigrams from the Greek. Although the prefatory note talks up the author as 'a native of another hemisphere', the TCD copy contains a ms. note attributing the work to Eaton Samuel Barrett (1785-1820). Barrett was a precocious poet from County Cork, whose satirical-gothic novel, The Heroine (1813), was much praised by Jane Austen and Edgar Allen Poe. Scarce, with just copies online: BL, Oxford, TCD, Kentucky, NYPL, and LoC.
FIRST EDITION, with a half-title; some minor spotting, pp. xv, [1], 64, small 8vo, modern half morocco over marbled boards, flat spine gilt and ruled in compartments; very nicely done; inscription to half-title: 'J. Ahern the gift of his friend Wm. H. Sidell, 1827', very good
