About This Item
Savannah, Ga.: Printed for the [Georgia Historical] Society, [by] Townsend, Printer and Binder, 1888. 25 pages. Original printed pale green wraps with cover title reading: "Sidney Lanier." [24 cm.] Good plus. Tiny chips to spine ends, short closed tear and minor crease at base of front wrap. Front free endpaper has three very short tears due to slightly rough opening, but its conjugate, the titie leaf, is unharmed and the pamphlet is otherwise unopened. Excepting a sliver of foxing to base of one leaf, the interior is clean and bright. A nicer than usual copy. FIRST EDITION. Charles Nephew West (1844-1900) was, like Sidney Lanier, a native of Macon, Georgia and a Confederate veteran. He was an attorney and an active member of the Georgia Historical Society. He also published "The Life and Times of William Harris Crawford" (1892). BAL (Lanier) vol. 5, p. 296.
