Numbers 1-27, and the unnumbered "Supernumerary Essay" between numbers 20 and 21 [All issued]. Penrith: printed and published by J. Brown 1 June 1809-15 March 1810. 28 numbers bound in one volume, 8° (257 x 156 mm). 4-page publisher’s advertisements at end. Contemporary drab boards, UNCUT AND UNOPENED (a few discreet repairs to spine panel); quarter morocco folding case. Provenance : William Strutt (bookplate); Hannah D. Rabinowitz (bookplate); David Borowitz (his sale Sotheby’s New York, 15 November 1977, lot 57).

From then on, although dogged by problems concerning the supply of stamped paper for its printing, The Friend appeared steadily if irregularly until the twenty-eighth issue in March 1810, assisted by contributions from Wordsworth (the first of his 'Essays upon epitaphs' and a fragment of the 'Poem to Coleridge') and Christopher North (John Wilson ..." (John Beer Oxford DNB ). Tinker 689 (noting Wordsworth references); Wise, Coleridge 20. RARE .
