8vo, pp. 72; contemporary green straight-grain morocco, neatly rebacked; gilt edges, blue-grey endpapers. First and only edition: this is a collection of Leigh's juvenile poetry, 'written at a very early age', as he claims in his prefatory advertisement. He also asks that his friends should 'remember that these verses are not published' - this despite the full imprint, which rather suggests that he wanted them to be known. Leigh had been at Harrow with Byron, who was three years his senior, and he seems always to have lived his life in the greater poet's shadow, either as a writer to aspire to or a moral example to avoid: Byron's portrait hung over the mantelpiece at Stoneleigh Abbey, the stately home in Warwickshire he had inherited. He had the compensating benefit of enormous wealth (inherited on his father's death in 1823) and a benevolent and generous disposition which led Leigh Hunt to compare him with Fielding's Squire Allworthy. As is still the case, such wealth and charitable behaviour resulted in his being raised to the peerage, and in 1839 he was created Lord Leigh of Stoneleigh. This book is, nonethelss, quite rare: Copac locates only four copies, at the British Library, Bodleian, Birmingham and Durham. (The BL's catalogue record needs correcting: it ascribes this to 'Chandos Lees'.) WorldCat adds copies in the US at: Minnesota, Texas, Harvard, NYPL, Indiana and Folger.…
