About This Item
London: Frederick Warne [no date], Albion edition. (Leather binding) 576pp. Very good plus, no dust jacket. Tree calf leather with gilt decorations to the covers, gilt lettering and raised bands on the spine. All edges art-gilt, marbled endpapers, frontispiece, illustrations, notes, indices, ribbon marker. The covers are lightly splayed, the front hinge is starting, and there is a previous bookseller's discreet sticker on the rear endpaper. "His poetry is marked by simplicity and vigour, and by a realism that quite fulfils our idea of Quaker truthfulness and sincerity. He is a moral and religious poet; no mother need hesitate to place his poems in her daughter's hands" - from the Prefatory Notice. Series: Albion Edition. (Poetry, Fine Bindings, Poetry).
