And Other Poems
INSCRIBED BY LEWIS CARROLL
Phantasmagoria And Other Poems
Macmillan, 1869.
First edition, first issue. 8vo. Original blue cloth with gilt vignettes and lettering. All edges gilt. Inscribed by Carroll on the half title "Rev J. W. Burgon with the Author's kind regards Jan, 1869". A very good copy indeed, a little tanned to the spine with some wear to spine ends.
Carroll noted in his diary on 7th January 1869 that he "called on Macmillan and sent off 28 copies of Phantasmagoria", which were inscribed for close family, friends and colleagues at Oxford. The recipient of this copy, John William Burgon, was a contemporary of Dodgson's at Oxford, being a fellow Oxford clergyman and the vicar at St Mary's.
