WORDSWORTH, William (1770-1850) and Samuel Taylor COLERIDGE (1772-1834). Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems. London: J. and A. Arch, 1798 -- Lyrical Ballads, with Other Poems. In Two Volumes. London: Biggs and Co. for T.N. Longman and O. Rees, 1800.
2 volumes, 8o (160 x 98 mm; 155 x 96 mm). Errata leaf and 2-page publisher's advertisements at end of volume I. Wove paper, watermarked "LLOYD 1795." (Vol. I title lightly soiled, some pale spotting.) Slightly different contemporary tree calf (rebacked). Provenance: Richard Waldy (armorial bookplate in vol. II) -- purchased from Inman's Book Shop, New York, 11 August 1970. Exhibited: Grolier Club, 'This powerfull rime,' 1975, no. 50.
FIRST EDITION, second (London) issue of volume I; FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE of volume II. Coleridge's "Lewti" was suppressed in the first volume prior to publication and is located only in a very few copies of the first (Bristol) issue. Wise's specious description of the priority of the cancelled and uncancelled states of G1 in volume I is based on his sophistication of his own copy. Here, G1 is uncancelled in volume I and O1-2 and P2 are uncancelled in volume II, with p.210 containing 10 lines. The following points are present: Vol. I: page 19 reads "Oft" in line 10; page 204 reads "woods" (with the final "s" and comma) in line 15 and "thought" (with the final "t" and comma) in line 17. Vol. II: 01-2 are uncancelled; page 64 reads "Oft had I" in line 1 and "wide Moor" in line 6; page 83 has a comma after "last days" in line 6; page 92 reads "He" (capitalized) in line 2; and page 129 has "when they please" properly spaced.
The second edition of Lyrical Ballads was published in two volumes in 1800 (see lot 367). Volume one reprints the poems in the first edition of 1798; volume two contains entirely new material and is therefore the first edition. Lyrical Ballads is often described as the first book of the Romantic movement, published anonymously when Wordsworth and Coleridge were 28 and 26 years old respectively. It contains the first printing of Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancyent Marinere" and, among other works, Wordsworth's "Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey," "We are seven" and "Lines written in early spring." Ashley VII, pp.5ff; Hayward 202 (Bristol imprint); Grolier English 66; Rothschild 2603, 2604; Wise Wordsworth 4, 5. (2)
