The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott - Published by William Milner in 1842, Cheapside Edition

I just listed an interesting and possibly quite rare miniature edition of Sir Walter Scott's classic poem "The Lady of the Lake" on Ebay.


Here is the publishing information listed on the cover page:

The Lady of the Lake

A Poem

By

Sir Walter Scott, Bart.

Carefully Revised And Corrected

With Notes,

And Life of the Author

Halifax

Printed and Published by William Milner,

Cheapside

MDCCCXLII (1842)

I searched on Abebooks and a number of the other websites specializing in antiquarian books, but could not find another one listed anywhere.

This is a quite attractive early edition of the poem, which was first published in 1810. The cover features gilt lettering and design. Gilt edges. Decorative frontispiece.

The book is in solid condition for its age, complete with all pages firmly attached. There is some tearing to the cover cloth along the spine. Blank page at front is signed by a previous owner.
