About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1882. (Hardcover) 159pp. Poor, no dust jacket. Dark green cloth with gilt lettering and illustrative gilt decoration to the front cover. Frontispiece, illustrations. The spine ends and corners are worn, the front free endpaper has a few previous owner names and the top corner is torn away, the rear inner hinge is cracked and the rear free endpapers have been torn out. "These poems have been written under various, and, in some cases, difficult, conditions; in the open air, 'with team afield;' in the student's den, with the ghosts of unfinished lessons hovering gloomily about; amid the rush and roar of railroad travel, which trains of thought are not prone to follow; and in the editor's sanctum, where the dainty feet of the Muses do not often deign to tread" -- from the Preface. Time Period 19th Century. (Poetry, Farm Life, Rural Life).
