Poetical Magazine,
dedicated to the Lovers of the Muse, by .. R. Ackermann. 4 Bde. Halblederband d. Zt. mit 2 roten Rückenschildern und ornamentaler Rückenvergoldung. 8vo.

Erste Ausgabe. - "It is chiefly remarkable as the first appearance of the famous Doctor Syntax, who, under the title of The Schoolmaster's Tour , ran through the whole of the publication, to be reprinted in volume form under the title of Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque . Its success was enormous, everything of an attractive nature being dubbed 'Syntax' .. A very difficult item to find complete; copies are invariably rebound with the leaves To Readers removed." (Abbey) - Da diese Lfgs.-Bll. To Readers in Bd. III mitgezählt wurden, springt die Pag. an den betr. Stellen. - Fehlt in Bd. I die Tafel 2 (View in Italy ). - Textbll. vereinzelt etw. braunfleckig (meist Abklatsch der Tafeln), 2 Titel seitlich beschnitten. Deckel leicht berieben. Dekoratives Exemplar. - Wappenexlibris.
