DESCRIPTION

Library stamp to the verso of the title page.
Illustrated with a frontispiece and a headpiece for each poem.
Robert Millhouse (1788–1839) was an English Spenserian poet, who obtained some fame as a provincial poet, though his own life was affected by his serial marriages, ill-health and poverty.
This collection of Millhouses songs and sonnets includes his better-known poems To Sherwood Forest and Song of the Patriot, and a brief biography of the poet by the editor John Potter Briscoe.
CONDITION
In the publishers original cloth binding. Externally very smart, with a little bumping to the extremities and the rear board, and wear to the head of the spine. Front hinge is a little tender, but remains reasonably firm. Page 45/46 is coming loose, but otherwise volume is firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Front free end paper is somewhat abraded.
