(WILLIAM PICKERING)

CHARLES CHURCHILL. THE POETICAL WORKS.

London: Printed by Charles Whittingham for William Pickering, 1844.

8vo. 3 volumes. Engraved portrait frontispiece. First Aldine Poets Edition. Publisher's cloth, with paper title labels on spines. See Keynes, p. 48 and p. 27: 'The works of Charles Churchill … were introduced by William Tooke and apparently were not published until 1844. Presumably owing to their late appearance fewer copies were sold than of most of the others of the series, and these three volumes are now very difficult to obtain except at an exorbitant price....* * I have seen the volumes offered in a recent (1924) bookseller's catalogue at £ 16.00.' (with asterisk); Charles Whittingham, No. 4. Purchased 1986.
