The vision of Don Roderick; a poem
Edinburgh: printed by James Ballantyne and Co. for John Ballantyne and Co. Hanover Street, Edinburgh; and Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London, 1811. First edition, quarto issue, first impression, second state of p. 3 (beginning "May rise" in line 2); 4to, pp. ix, [3], 122 [i.e., 128], [2] ads; original blue-gray paper-covered boards, printed paper label on spine; corners worn, small cracks and some rubbing, but on the whole a very good, sound copy. This follows the privately printed edition of 50 copies by several days. Todd & Bowden 59Ab: "To 'strengthen' a rather slim performance, typographically, one or more of the early gatherings were usually printed on heavier paper [as here] .... Because of the belated insertion of a second, half-sheet (H) there is a repetition of numbered pages 68-69 resulting in the misnumbering of all subsequent pages." Item #67022
