Item description from seller

Ninth edition, one of 925 copies on Van Gelder paper. 1907 Small Hard Cover. xxxiii, [1], 152, [2] pp. 7 1/8 x 4 3/16. Paper over boards covers with yapped fore edge, ribbon marker bound in. Frontispiece portrait. Preface by Thomas B. Mosher, brief prefatory note by James Russell Lowell, toast to Omar Khayyam by Theodore Watts-Dunton. Rendered into English verse by Edward Fitzgerald, with a biographical sketch of Fitzgerald by W. Irving Way. Edward FitzGerald, (born March 31, 1809, Bredfield, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, Eng. - died June 14, 1883, Merton, Norfolk), English writer, best known for his Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which, though it is a very free adaptation and selection from the Persian poet's verses, stands on its own as a classic of English literature. It is one of the most frequently quoted of lyric poems, and many of its phrases, such as 'A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou' and 'The moving finger writes,' passed into common currency. - Britannica.
