Seller's Description:
Unamed. Very Good. An illustrated copy of The Pleasures of Imagination by Mark Akenside. With three engraved plates, a frontispiece and a critical essay by Anna Barbauld. Mark Akenside was an English poet and physician. In this, his most famous work, he explores the various kinds of pleasures that can be derived from beauty, and a meditation on the study of Man. Direct from the Regency library of Elizabeth Greenly, later Lady Elizabeth Coffin Greenly. Elizabeth Greenly, born at Titley Court, Herefordshire, was a noted and varied collector. She kept prolific diaries from 1784 until her death in 1839 which included her responses to current events and occasions in her daily life. Among the diaries many names and anecdotes of celebrities of the time appear, including Lord Byron, Marie Antoinette, Mary Wollstonecraft and Hannah More. She was known to comment on customs of foreign countries to which she and her friends had traveled, and had a keen interest in scientific discoveries and advancements including medicine and archaeology. The Greenly library contents show Elizabeth Greenly's numerous interests including: Welsh causes, Science, topography, travel, Bibliana and literature, particularly female poets. The library contains many first editions of contemporary works, and many are signed or contain her bookplate. The library contained over 1000 volumes which show the diversity and depth of her interests and give an insight into the life of this fascinating collector. In a full calf binding. Externally, a trifle rubbed. Joints starting but still reasonably firm. Bookplate of E.H. Greenly on the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean with just the occasional spot. Ink signature to title page. Very Good.
