Lightly rubbed and marked, with spine and boards slightly dulled.

Light spotting to initial and terminal leaves.

A Coleridge family copy, finely bound in vellum, of the second edition of William Sharpe's edited Recollections by his uncle, English Romantic poet Samuel Rogers (1763-1855). Drawn from a notebook kept by Rogers in which he collected observations on several eminent friends - among them, Edmund Burke, Charles James Fox, and Henry Grattan - the work is not to be confused with Scottish writer Alexander Dyce's Recollections of the Table-Talk of Samuel Rogers (1856), which, despite its similar title, was instead based primarily on Dyce's own conversations with the literary figure.
