Verses from Glenarvon

Verses from Glenarvon: To Which is Prefixed the original introduction, not published with the early editions of that work. London: Henry Colburn, 1819.

A limited edition printed most probably for private distribution to friends and family, containing three stipple engravings without text executed by Henry Meyer from designs by Lady Caroline. Reprints the Introduction that LCL wrote in her own defense after harsh attacks on the novel's first printings. A copy of Verses from Glenarvon is held in the Houghton Library of Harvard University.
