Item description from seller

[Scottish Poetry] FIRST APPEARANCE. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.[2] 130 [4]. Publisher's blue quarter cloth with gilt titles to spine, and brown titles to grey paper over boards. Top edge toned; others untrimmed. Black ink gift inscription dated Christmas 1921 to flyleaf. Some weakness to binding at pp.90/91. Moderate rubbing and toning to boards. Very good. The first appearance in print of the poet Christopher Murray Grieve, leader of the Scottish Literary Renaissance who would later publish under the pseudonym Hugh MacDiarmid. This first issue of Northern Numbers, containing strong contributions from the likes of John Buchan, Violet Jacob, and Neil Munro, was very favourably reviewed, with particular praise directed towards the editor Grieve who, according the Glasgow Herald, "possesses more talent and latent power than any other contributor to this book.".
