§ First edition of this collection, a lovely copy in the special binding of which I suspect very few were issued -- I have seen two in the last 40 years. Sampson was a highly regarded editor. Bentley, Blake Books, 294 and see Bentley 300: "This [the works] is a work of pioneer scholarly importance, well informed, meticulously accurate, well balanced, and intelligent - virtues that were never collectively applied to Blake's text before this time. It is particularly valuable on the Songs..." Item #126236
