COLERIDGE, Hartley. POEMS. Leeds: Bingley, 1833. First Edition. First 
issue with Volume I on the title page. Errata leaf at end. Hayward 251. 
Tinker 653. Bookplate of John Cameron, lot 930 in the Parke-Bernet 
Cameron Sale of 1939. Later ticket of Alan Willard Brown who has written 
an interesting note in pencil on the front pastedown explaining his 
interest in the book. Coleridge was the eldest son of Samuel Taylor 
Coleridge to whom he dedicated this book: "If good therein there be, 
That good, my sire, I dedicate to thee." The binding with a dark green 
silk spine and lighter green boards, while somewhat later, is certainly 
sympathetic to the original cloth-backed binding and retains the 
original paper label which is darkened and rubbed. Nice wide margins. 
Light foxing. Near Fine. (#003236)        $300.00
