[BYRON, George Gordon, Lord].

Lara, a Tale. [and] Jacqueline, a Tale [by Samuel Rogers].

First edition, Randolph’s fourth variant (with the crooked roman numeral on p. 82 and the fallen period on p. 20). By 1814 Byron was heavily pressed by debts, having previously refused payment for his poems.

Jacqueline had previously been printed for private circulation; Lara appears here for the first time.
