BYRON, George Noel Gordon, Baron. Fugitive Pieces. Reproduced from the First Edition. New York: Columbia University Press. (The Facsimile Text Society, series I, vol. VIII.) [1806] 1933
Half title. Orig. brown cloth. Signature & booklabel of Alex Bridge. v.g.

¶With a bibliographical note by Marcel Kessel. Contains 'To Mary', which, except for a limited facsimile of 'Fugitive Pieces', supervised in 1886 by H. Buxton Forman, has never been reprinted. The objections to this poem by the Reverend J.T. Becher, who considered the poem too voluptuous, led Byron immediately to suppress the edition, burning almost every copy himself. There are only three known complete copies of the first (suppressed) edition.
