[Inscribed] Willem Bilderdijk. Het buitenleven. In vier zangen

Amsterdam, J. Allart, 1803. 1st. ed. 156, 72 & 36 blank extra pages. Contemp. half calf with marbled boards. *With inserted note (presumably) written by Bilderdijk: 'Aan de hoogwelgeb. Vrouwe mevrouw de Baronesse Bigot de Vilandre geboren van Herzeele/Mr. W. Bilderdijk.' The printed text is dedicated to this same lady and the extra bound in quire of blank leaves together with the note could mean that this is the very first printed copy, given by the poet to his muse.
