My latest find from Urban Ore in Berkeley - a first edition of the Complete Works of Lord Byron from the Last London Edition Now First Collected and Arranged, and Illustrated with Notes.... to which is prefixed The Life of the Author by John Galt, Esq. in One Volume. 1835.
it looks like the spine and the back cover have been replaced w/ a calf-skin cover. but the front cover is in good condition.
thanks Nicefice!
When I was in high school I researched our families ancestry. There was a mention of Lord Byron through his daughter and English mathematician Ada and her complex titles which lead her to be known as the Countess of Lovelace. Not sure if it really is our particular family but my Dad is English so maybe it would be worth checking out Ancestry.com with all of today's internet access. I'm not very poetic and I'm horrible in math so probably not..lol.
Great find!
thanks mike and jscotto!
