The Seasons
By James Thomson with his Life
Publisher: London: Printed by C. Whittingham 18, 1802. Hardcover. 8vo. lxviii, 242 pp. Frontis. of the author’s portrait, elaborate engraved half-title and plates; heavily foxed. Original full red blind and gilt-stamped morocco, gilt spine, all edges gilt; rubbed. Very good copy. Unusual impression in gilt on front and back inside tooled gilt oval. One in French and one in English. English reads: “Mrs. Rowden’s School
Hans Place June 14, 1815.” There was a school in London on Hans Place during that period run by a Mrs. Rowden so it would lend to the assumption this was her book or the school’s. Slight rubbing to spine and some mild foxing throughout but a very good copy.
Suggested estimate $500-1000
