FIRST EDITION, two etched frontispiece portraits by Ford Madox Brown. Fredeman 47.2: "Besides the works indicated in the title, the volumes also contain The Black Swan [the first version of Gabriel Denver which Brown reluctantly revised at the insistence of his publishers to suit contemporary prudery] and thirteen lyrics, one short story and another prose fragment"; Wolff 880; Wolff, Strange Stories, p. 40: "Had The Black Swan appeared as the work of a mature and experienced novelist, it would have been and arresting novel.
