So, I have a book. It's called, "The book of Gems. The Poets and Artists of Great Britain." It's Vol. 1 and seems very old. It's by S.C. Hall and, here's the tricky part, printed in London by R. Clay, Bread-Street-Hill, Doctors' Commons. It's a gorgeous book with what looks to be leather binding and engraved golden glint around it. The edges of all the paper look like marble and the pictures above the poems have very skinny pages separating the pictures from the pages next to them. Also the copied signatures of all the poets are printed in the back, or at least most of them. (some pages are missing I think) Any way, I was wondering if anyone had a copy of this book that had a picture of it so I could compare the two, OR if someone could tell me the date of publication of my particular copy. Thanks!
