Murray of Albemarle Street, rebacked in a full calf binding with the original calf laid down to the boards. Bookplate to the front paste down. Ink inscriptions to the second blank page. Lara, A Tale, a rhymed tragic narrative poem, was first published anonymously by Lord Byron in 1814 alongside Jacqueline, a Tale, a poem which was not written by him. In this first edition, there is no indication that separate authors wrote each narrative poem; however, we now know that Lord Byron wrote Lara, a Tale, and the English poet Samuel Rogers wrote Jacqueline, a Tale. 2 pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear. CONDITION Rebacked in a full calf binding with the original calf laid down to the boards. Externally very smart, with just some wear to the extremities. Gilt remains bright. Remnants of an amateur repair, presumably to reinforce the front hinge, to the front paste down and front free end paper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright but with some offsetting to the text, and a scattering of spots to the first few pages. Overall Condition: Very Good GLOSSARY OF TERMS Overall Condition (Dustwrapper condition rating is shown after that for the book itself, where a dustwrapper is present) Fine - Very well preserved copy showing very little wear Very Good Indeed - Only one or two minor faults, really a very attractive copy Very Good - Quite a wide term meaning no major faults but probably several smaller ones often expected given the age of the book, but still a respectable copy Good - Meaning not very good.
