    Description

    Decorative Binding, Very Scarce

    This work collects all twelve issues of the Newark Bee periodical, from March 1838 to February 1839, into one full cloth bound volume. 

    Very Scarce.

    The Newark Bee was one of the earliest literary magazines to be published in the Newark-on-Trent area of Nottinghamshire and is of historical interest as evidence of the flourishing of the periodical press in the nineteenth century. It was issued monthly at one penny by the same local Ridge family firm who had famously published Byron's first two collections of poetry. Its editor, S. Reynolds Hole, was an English Anglican priest, author, and horticulturalist renowned for his expertise with roses. This volume gives a good impression of the discerning nature the Newark Bee, containing numerous poems, prose excerpts, translations, reviews, and critical essays.
