Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Although not stated, one of 100 copies, this being one of two variants this cataloguer has encountered (priority not known), in this case simply printing the title on the front of light tan wrappers, rather than adding Johnson's name (as on the title page) to grey wrappers. 12mo. St…apled wrappers. Unpaginated (8pp.). Namely 'Requiescat In Pace Dilectissimi Scriptoris (To Robert Louis Stevenson)', 'In a Copy of Sir John Suckling's "Fragmenta Aurea" (To my friend Selwyn Image; upon his giving me this book:)', and 'In Honorem Doriani Creatorisque Eius (To Oscar Wilde)'. 'The three poems here first brought together are not to be found in the collected "Poems" of Lionel Johnson. They have been for some years fugitives in manuscript. The Stevenson and Suckling stanzas have been rescued from the flyleaves of books; those to Oscar Wilde are from an original manuscript privately owned.' Small bumps to the oversized wrappers at the corners, the spine fold rubbed, and with only an occasional spot.
