    Description

    First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    The first edition set complete in two volumes in the publisher's original green cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spines. 

    Beaten Paths was the last work of Irish writer Thomas Colley Grattan, and is a vivid two-volume memoir reminiscing his life in Ireland and around the world. The autobiography includes Grattan's recollection of his encounter with Wordsworth and Coleridge in Brussels in 1828.

    This is a scarce and fascinating last work by Grattan, filled with anecdotes and historical sketches.
