Octavo. (vi), 59pp. The editor, Edward Dowden, reports in his preface that the verses here printed derive from a manuscript he acquired from the anonymous female writer's niece. Perhaps this is true, but perhaps not, given a publisher's note which states that "if readers desire to attribute authorship of this book to the editor, no wrong is done to anyone." Adding to the puzzle is the general tenor of the initial and concluding comments, printed in red, which carry mystical overtones familiar to the spiritualist Dowden. Bound in plain paper over boards backed in buckram with spine-titling in black. A somewhat unusual binding for the press, which would regularly use gray-blue paper and paper spine labels; nevertheless, the work of Galway & Co., with corresponding binder's ticket, the press's frequent binder. Soiling to exterior overall, rubs to extremities, else a bright and clean interior and very good. (Miller 19)
