BYRON, George Gordon Noel, Lord (1788-1824). Hebrew Melodies. London: T. Davison for John Murray, 1815.

First edition, first issue, uncut; with what is purported to be a fragment of Byron's Corsair costume that was worn in Missolonghi a few weeks before his death.

This copy is uncut in original wrappers. The book is housed together with a thin strip of red fabric (85 x 10mm) mounted on a small card with explanatory text regarding Byron's costume. Randolph, pp.50-51; Wise Byron I, pp.103-104.

Octavo (222 x 135mm). Uncut.
