WORDSWORTH, William. POEMS, CHIEFLY OF EARLY AND LATER YEARS; INCLUDING 
THE BORDERERS, A TRAGEDY. London: Edward Moxon, 1842. First Edition. 
Original brown cloth with a leaf of ads at the end followed by an 
additional collective title page and half-title page, allowing the book 
to form the seventh and final volume of the 1836-7 edition of 
Wordsworth's POETICAL WORKS. Wordsworth's last collection of new work, 
and somewhat scarce. This is a Presentation copy INSCRIBED by the poet 
on the front pastedown: "Herbert Hill/from/the Author/April 1842." 
Herbert Hill married Robert Southey's daughter, Bertha, in 1839 and was 
a neighbor of Wordsworth's living with his wife in John Fleming's 
cottage in Rydal. Hill served as tutor for Matthew Arnold. Both Hill and 
Wordsworth attended Southey's funeral in March 1843 after which 
Wordsworth was selected to replace Southey as England's Poet Laureate. 
Rebacked some time ago with nearly all of the original spine but for the 
tips retained. An engraved portrait of the author is laid down on the 
verso of the front free endpaper. Very Good. (#014533)        $7,500.00
