EDWARD VESEY BLIGH'S COPY WITH HIS SIGNATURE ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. A NOTABLE COPY OF ONE OF KEIGHTLEY'S FINEST CLASSICAL COMMENTARIES. Remembered today primarily for his 'Fairy Mythology' (1828), Thomas Keightley (1789-1872) was also a classical historian and scholar of note; his editions of Greek and Roman texts were produced mainly from Trinity College Dublin. His 'Fasti' is based on the Krebs text, and Keightley notes the most important variant readings of the fifty-eight collated MSS of the poem, together with (not unnaturally) appropriate references to his own 'Mythology of Greece and Italy' published eight years previously. The edition received several laudatory reviews (notably in the 'Gentleman's Magazine') and was adopted for use by at least one major public school. The Hon. Edward Vesey Bligh, brother to 6th Earl of Darnley, was vicar of Birling in Kent and Chairman of the Prayer Book Revision Society
