Description

First Edition (published April 1903.) Hard cover, 12 vo, (measuring 5 ? x 7 ¾ inches) in green publisher's cloth with art nouveau design of leaves and vine in dark green. Printed at The Stanley-Taylor Company, San Francisco upon thick, handlaid-style, paper. Top edge gilt, fore edge untrimmed. X-Library, with small hand written paper label to the spine, and a modern printed ""withdrawn"" sticker from Bowdoin College. Condition: Very Good. Some spots to rear board, light rubbing to head of spine, and slightly cocked. Discrete library blindstamp to title page. Otherwise very clean; fresh enough to be considered unsullied by the hands of the English majors of days gone by. The author, poet Edward Robeson Taylor, (1838-1923) was a lawyer and also 28th mayor of San Francisco in the first decade of the twentieth century. This collection features a few poems reworked from an earlier title, and a bound in note clarifies that the remainder of the material is new. Scarce to market.
