Description

Small square 8vo, viii,112pp., one of 150 copies privately printed, bookplates, orig. blue printed wrappers, unopened, uncut. Ashley IX, p.148. Carter & Pollard, Enquiry, p.120. Wiseís account remains the fullest we have: ëThe text of the interesting little volume is composed of the suppressed poems of Tennyson, taken from the Poems, Chiefly Lyrical of 1830, and the Poems of 1833. It was compiled by James Dykes Campbell, who from April 1860 to the summer of 1862 resided in Canada as the representative of Messrs. Cochrane & Co., of Glasgow. During his stay in Toronto, Campbell caused the book to be privately printed in Toronto at his own cost. The work was done at the printing-house of Messrs. W.C. Chewitt & Co., of that City. About fifty copies, Campbell told me, were brought by him to London. Some of these came into the possession of John Camden Hotten. His attempt to circulate them ended in legal proceedings, and on July 31st, 1862, an injunction was granted restraining Hotten from selling any copies of the book, and from circulating the catalogue in which it was advertised.í A note in Edmund Gosseís library catalogue, 1893, states that about 150 copies were printed.
