BEAUMONT, FRANCIS. Poems. First [20] (of [40]) leaves only. Small 4to, modern tree calf; margins trimmed affecting 2 letters on title, some light soiling and dampstaining. London: Richard Hodgkinson for W. W. and Laurence Blaikelocke, 1640
- Notes: first edition. Apart from the title and preliminaries, and the imprint leaf E4, this fragment comprises the complete text of the principal poem in the collection, Salmaces & Hermaphroditus; or, The Hermaphrodite, which first appeared separately in 1602. "The volume was doubtless intended to end at Sig. E4, and the imprimatur is given at that place. The remaining poems were evidently added as an afterthought"--Grolier/WP 33. STC 1665.
