DONNE, John (1573-1631). Poems by J. D. with elegies on the authors death. London: M[iles] F[letcher] for John Marriot, 1633.
4o (180 x 131 mm). Engraved portrait of the author after Lombart inserted, two woodcut opening initials. (Lacks final blank, some occasional spotting.) Late 18th/early 19th-century half calf (rear cover detached, rubbed). Provenance: Sir Joshua Reynolds (signature on title).
SIR JOSHUA REYNOLD'S COPY OF THE FIRST COLLECTED EDITION OF DONNE'S POEMS. With the exception of the Anniversaries (1611, 1612), the "Elegie on the untimely death of the incomparable Prince, Henry" (included by Sylvester in Lachrymae Lachrymarum, 3rd edition, 1613), and some lines prefixed to Coryats Crudities, none of Donne's poems were published before his death. Keynes notes that "Sometimes the two leaves ... are omitted altogether. It seems probable that they were an afterthought and were inserted in only a portion of the edition." Grolier Wither to Prior 286; Keynes Donne 78; Pforzheimer 296; STC 7045.
