The first, and by design, only printing. With four folding facsimile manuscript pages and reduced reproductions of other pages. 8vo, publisher s original red cloth and gray boards, the upper cover with Giacomo Joyce label, the spine lettered in gilt, in the matching original gray slipcase. (xx), 1-16, (14 + folding plates), (xxi)-xxvii pp. A very fine copy but for the lightest of mellowing to the red cloth spine. THE FIRST AND ONLY PRINTING OF THE EDITION, "LIMITED TO ONE PRINTING FOR WORLD DISTRIBUTION AND THE TEXT WILL NOT BE REPRINTED IN THIS FORM." A photographic facsimile and line-for-line transcription of a manuscript notebook written by Joyce circa 1911-1914, at a time when he was finishing A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN and beginning ULYSSES. Richard Ellmann, who provides the introduction, asserts that it is "a love poem which is never recited.Joyce's attempt at the sentimental education of a dark lady, his farewell to a phase of his life, and at the same time his discovery of a new form of imaginitive expression." Though Joyce never published this little piece, he did extract pieces and phrases from it for inclusion in A PORTRAIT, ULYSSES, and his play EXILES.
