Only the second pre-1850 Bristol imprint I have encountered. Gladding "was a zealous Methodist. He carried on the bookbinding business on Bradford St. He issued several other works [besides this one], mostly those of standard British authors" including an edition of the Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. Gladding shortly moved to Philadelphia where he published under the Gladding & Friend imprint. American Imprints 40101; Thompson, Sketches of Old Bristol (1942), p. 160ff.
A rare American edition text block is hold but loose; age toned, light fox; cloth and embossed boards with J. Gladding & Co. on front cover. Board edges binged and worn, front and back boards holding; 155 pages for the poem and to page 232 for extended notes of the canto pages; engraved frontis image of the Lady of the Lake and half title with engraved image of a lyre with Bristol R. I. and 1836 date. This is the classic poem in one of the scarce American editions. Only one copy found. 16mo.
