Author: WHITTIER, John Greenleaf Title: Poems by John G. Whittier
Description: Boston, Samuel E. Cassino, 1893. Hardcover. Illustrations by Hiram P. Barnes, Louis Meynelle, Louis K. Harlow and others. 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt lettering and decorations and small oval cameo-type portrait on front board. viii, 507pp. Top edge gilt. Illustrations. Very good. Faint edgewear; bit of age toning to endpapers (only). First of this edition. Superb, tight copy -- internally near fine -- of this broad selection of verse from "The Quaker Poet" (1807-92), brought out this year no doubt because of his death the previous year. Includes a broad sampling of his best work, including a number of the antislavery pieces. A lovely copy of this seldom-seen title. .
