Thomson's Poetical Works

Edinburgh, James Nichol, 1853. Hardcover. pp. xx, 372.8vo. Nicely bound in 3/4 calf with marbled boards and foredges.Thomson (1700-1748) was a Scottish poet, who was educated at Edinburgh University.

This is the first edition of Thomson's Works under the editorship of Gilfillian, and it contains all of Thomson's important work including THE SEASONS, LIBERTY, THE CASTLE OF INDOLENCE and BRITANNIA.
