London: Simpkin, Marshall & Co [1847-1849; 1852]. Four volumes, 12mo, pp 438; 428; 416; 412, the first three volumes very good, tight and clean internally, original green blind-stamped publisher's cloth just very slightly rubbed; the last volume similarly bound, but cloth a bit worn, and at one time I suspect that the covers have been detached and have now been glued back in rather than a proper re-casing, with the result that the book is more difficult to open and will, almost certainly, break again with use. Nevertheless, the work rarely turns up for sale, and normally only in single volumes when it does.. First Edition. Cloth. Good.

In four of these, Macaulay recounts in poetic form four heroic episodes from early Roman lore with strong dramatic and tragic themes. Macaulay also included two poems inspired by more recent history: Ivry and The Armada. The narrative poems, or lays, by Thomas Babington Macaulay, are titled "Horatius" [which describes how Publius Horatius and two companions, Spurius Lartius and Titus Herminius, hold the Sublician bridge, the only span crossing the Tiber at Rome, against the Etruscan army of Lars Porsena, King of Clusium, each of them willing to die in order to prevent the enemy from crossing the bridge, and sacking the otherwise ill-defended city.] "The Battle of Lake Regillus" [which celebrates the Roman victory over the Latin League at the Battle of…
