1827 · [n.p, England, likely London or Kent]
by Child, C.W.J. [Coles William John Child (1813-1873)]
[n.p, England, likely London or Kent], 1827. Very good with some soiling to vellum and minor finger smudges to some of the pages. A fascinating and unique volume.. Lovely manuscript volume of amateur poetry in a single, neat, readable hand, bound in full vellum.
The poems are dated between 1827-33, making Child a teenager of fourteen when the first poem was written (though the paper is watermarked 1829, so some, if not all, of the poems must have been transcribed after initially written).
A young man of immense privilege, Child was later a wealthy coal merchant, the peerage noting he held the offices of Deputy Lieutenant and Justice (truncated)
