This is a back-to-back volume of the poetry of Robert Browning (1812 - 1889) and his wife Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861).
Carr did not state how many editions of the Brownings that he had published is his History of the QTP (1987), but it is listed, so one is assumed. Two impressions have been seen which differ only in the colour of their card covers. They are both otherwise the same and both were printed by the same company, which Carr used when he had published between 35-40 titles, so probably before 1987. The edition of the poems of Robert Browning alone was probably published after 1987, based on the serial number (95) and the quality of the printing. I don't know in which order the two impressions shown below were published, so I have guessed.
