JOHNSON, Lionel.
Some Poems of Lionel Johnson. Newly Selected with an Introduction by Louise Imogen Guiney.
A later issue, in brown printed wrappers, with the publisher’s Cork Street address, where they moved in 1912. On the verso of the front wrapper are ads for Nos. 1-21 in the Second Century of the series; the verso of the rear wrapper advertises Nos. 23-30, and Nos. 1-9 of the Savile Series. Four pp. ads at the end of the text for Nos. 1-100 of the First Century, giving the Cork Street address. The first issue lacks ads at the end and is bound in gray wrappers with“Vigo Street“ on the recto of the front wrapper and ads for three titles by Johnson, including Memoir and Correspondence, which never appeared, on the verso. Recto of rear wrapper: ad for Johnson’s Reviews and Critical Papers; verso: Publisher’s emblem. Leaves of later issue measure 15.7 x 12.4 cm, all edges cut, as opposed to 16 x 12.4 cm for the first issue, fore- and bottom edges uncut. Slight wear to extremities of wrappers, but a near fine copy of a very fragile item.
