Erstausgabe
FIRST EDITION. 2 vols. Half titles, front. port. vol. I with sl. offsetting. Ads on pastedowns. Orig. purple morocco-grained cloth by John Gray, Edinburgh,borders blocked in blind, spines lettered in gilt; a little rubbed, spines darkened & sl. worn at heads & tails, inner hinges cracking. A good sound copy. Jeffrey, 1773-1850, was a Scottish lawyer and critic for the Edinburgh Review. He reviewed many of Byron's early works, and for his fairness and impartiality was paid the following tribute by him: 'I do not know you, and may never know / Your face - but you have acted on the whole, / Most nobly; and I own it from my soul'. Thomas Moore, on the other hand, took extreme exception to Jeffrey's review of his Epistles, Odes, and other Poems. Jeffrey had condemned their 'immoral tendency' with such vehemence that Moore took it as a personal insult, and challenged him to a duel at Chalk Farm on August 11, 1806. The police arrived at the critical moment, and the two authors were bound over to keep the peace. It was later found that Jeffrey's pistols were not loaded. There followed a complete reconciliation between the two men, and a long friendship was established. Jeffrey later became a friend of Charles Dickens, with Dickens naming his third son Francis Jeffrey Dickens after him. In 1850 Jeffrey was buried in Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh, and four years later Lord Cockburn was buried beside him.
