DRAKE, NATHAN
Noontide Leisure; or, Sketches in Summer, Outlines from Nature and Imagination, and Including a Tale of the Days of Shakespeare.
London: Printed for T. Cadell, and W. Blackwood, Edinburgh, 1824. First edition. NCBEL III, 1279. 2vols, 8vo, contemporary green quarter cloth, marbled boards, printed paper labels. ¶ Drake was a physician and minor literary figure best known for his genteel literary essays. His efforts at fiction were generally published as here, where his story is broken into sections and interspersed with sketches and essays, occasionally touching on points illustrated by the narrative. There is a stub before the title page in vol. I; the copy described in the NUC as well as two copies described on RLIN are tentatively noted as lacking frontispieces, suggesting a possible cancel. Slightly rubbed; labels a little browned and chipped. Otherwise, a fine copy.
