In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2 volumes from the 12 volume Works of William Makepeace Thackeray. These are volume 2 and 7 (numbered on the title page, not on the spine). Both in rust orange cloth with gold lettering and black and gold bands and decoration. Both on good clean bindings, tight and square. About 700 pages each. The… books themselves are part of a fairly standard Victorian set of Thackeray - but each has a bookplate -- with the name "Anne S. Brown. Stoneleigh" on the inside front cover. Stoneleigh was the mansion built by Robert Brown just outside of Baltimore, in 1852. Brown was the son of the founder of the Baltimore Medical College. The house was a prim, 22 room, Victorian -- and was torn down to make way for a development community in the 1950s. These two volumes from a member of the Brown family are a nice remembrance of the lost home. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it s an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.

In den Warenkorb8vo, 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 pu…blished' - 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.
