Homes and Haunts of the Most Eminent British Poets
Richard Bentley, 1847.

All edges marbled. Original blue silk page markers present. Marbled endpapers. Forty-one engraved vignettes by W. and G. Measom. A near fine set, externally bright and attractive, with just a modicum of wear towards the head of one spine, and internally fresh, save for some very light spotting to the initial pages.
