Sibylline leaves

This important collection includes about eight previously unpublished poems and a much enlarged version of "Destiny of Nations;" together with a poem by the American, Washington Allston. Each signed gathering is registered "Vol. II"; it had been intended that Sibylline leaves would form part of a uniform four-volume set of Coleridge's works with Biographia literaria and other works, but this never materialised. cf. Hanesy, J.L. Bibl. of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1903, p. 10. Includes 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' under Coleridge's name for the first time. -- abebooks website.
