7 x 4 1/2', 38pp. Gray green paper covered boards, gilt title on spine, teg. Minor chip to top of spine, else a fine copy of a very fragile book: '.Not on sale at any book-shop [!].' 'The essay following was read before the Rowfant Club on the evening of February 17th, 1894. It is a privately printed bit of Rowfantia issued to members of the club only, and does not concern the public.' See Henry Arthur Clark's Bibliography of the Publications of the Rowfant Club (1925) for more on this very early & rare Rowfant book. The nature of the binding material makes fine copies rare. Excellent example of DeVinne's simple design & clean presswork. Little known piece of humorous mock scholarship that can compare with Charles W. Chesnutt's 'Baxter's Procrustes' (also published by Rowfant in 1966). 'One of the most popular fallacies of the day is that Longfellow's 'Excelsior' is entitled to rank high as a literary production.'.
