First edition of a three-volume collection of the work of Thomas Chatterton (1752-1770), edited by Robert Southey and Joseph Cottle, with some new material. Volume 2 contains the Rowley poems, for which Chatterton is best known. Ironically, these ambitious forgeries were never published under his own name in his lifetime: he claimed that the poems were transcripts he had taken from the work of Thomas Rowley, a fifteenth-century monk. <a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_712032" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a>
