The first edition of Alfred Austin's response to criticisms on his work, illustrated with a portrait tipped in to the front endpaper. The first edition of this work.

With a plate showing a portrait of the author tipped in to the front endpaper. Written by Alfred Austin. Austin was a poet, and was appointed the Poet Laureate in 1896.

A little discolouration to the spine and extremities. Some minor marks to the boards. A little bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Front hinge has failed. Internally, generally firmly bound.
