A presentation copy, inscribed to Le Gallienne’s friend and fellow-rhymer “To John Davidson with sincere admiration of the poet & respect for the man from Richard Le Gallienne. 4, July ‘93.“ With various marginal emphases in a bold pencil, which appear to the work of Davidson - one passage in particular is very Davidsonian “ … the truth is that the footpath of pioneer individualism more and more becomes the highway of the race.“

With the remains of a small old auction label on the upper cover, spine a bit darkened and rather shaken in the binding.
