Blue leather coverd boards with gold tooling. Bumping to corners and edges of spine . Marbled endpapers. Front baord working loose, otherwise binding is tight. Evidence of a very old water stain from pages 143 to 177, but no damage at all to paper An anthology of poems honoured at various times with prizes in the University of Oxford. Included is Brasenose College student and later Bishop of Calcutta Reginald Heber's (1783-1826) Palestine, which took the prize in 1803. The poem is noteworthy for Heber's insertion of a line on the miraculous construction of a temple without tools at the insistence of a young Walter Scott. This is the seventh edition, published in 1826, and interestingly the index doesn't include Trajans Pillar by William Walter Tireman, which is included as the last poem in the book - with correct consecutive page numbering - which would indicate this last poem was included but an error missed it of the contents page. A previous owner has corrected this with a handwritten addition
