About this Item

1874. First edition. viii, 274pp. Unfortunately we have no information about this collection of poems, other that that he appeared to live at Coaltown of Burnturk, by Kingskettle, Fifeshire. The book is bound in the original maroon cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in good condition with shelf wear and soiling and staining on the boards. The corners are lightly bumped with some damage and a little loss to the cloth around the corner tips. The spine ends are more heavily bumped with damage and loss of up to about 1/4" of the cloth. The contents are tight and clean apart from some small stains and marks from finger smudges, etc., mostly near the start of the book. Some of the signatures protrude slightly from the fore edge of the text block. A large part of the front free endpaper hasd been torn away from around the toip front corner, probably to remove and inscription.
