Collected by Emily C. Fortey. The Preface by Fr. Vincent McNabb. First edition. 8vo, xi, [1], 206pp. Original green cloth, gilt lettering to spine. Oxford, Basil Blackwell, 1930.
Fortey describes the volume as a gathering of “all that could be called religious poems in the treasured MS. left in my care.“ Contrary to the claim in the title, Fortey indicates that “some half-dozen of [the poems in this volume] appeared in Catholic magazines during the life-time of the poets.“ the Preface is written by McNabb was the poets’ confessor.
Ink note on verso of half-title explaining the authors’ pseudonym; uneven fading to boards. Overall about very good.
