- Summary:
- One of two transcripts (for the other see Add MS 51995 A), in different hands, of the narrative poem 'Psyche, or the Legend of Love', by Mrs Mary Tighe (d. 1810), evidently made (with some verbal variations) from the privately printed first edition (1805); watermark 1806. For a similar transcript see Sotheby's sale-cat., 23-24 Mar. 1970, lot 484. This transcript is incomplete, comprising only cantos 1-2 and part of 3, and wants a leaf, excised after f. 32, which contained five stanzas. Each transcript is bound in a volume of green, straight-grained Morocco, and is gilt-tooled.
