PAULINE; A FRAGMENT OF A CONFESSION BY ROBERT BROWNING. A REPRINT OF THE ORIGINAL EDITION OF 1833.
Wise, Thomas J. (editor)
First edition thus, limited to 400 copies. (Todd 109a). Although a seemingly above-board reprint edition, Wise's treatment of Browning's "Pauline" was one of his first forays into the world of facsimiles and, through his connection to Richard Clay and Sons, helped him lay the groundwork for future fabrications. Spine covering lacking (part loosely inserted in book). With the bookplate of Henry Cabot Lodge.
