16mo. ix, (i), 101pp. This particular copy of Stevenson's juvenile poetry belonged to John Greenleaf Whitter, with his facsimile signature label (which functioned as his bookplate) to the front pastedown. Bound in quarter teal cloth with pale green paper over boards. Corners rubbed, likewise edges, spine modestly toned and boards equivalently soiled, else certainly better than most and very good. Housed in custom clamshell box. (Beinecke 196)
