Item description from seller

Red, stamped cloth with gold lettering ; xii, 343 p. ; 19 cm. ; faded, foxed ; front hinge starting ; copy of John Ransom Lewis, Poet Laureate of Georgia, with his signature on front ep ; interesting life of Bishop Fitzgerald, with details of preaching to antebellum southern black congregations, with names of some prominent congregation members in Macon, Georgia ; tales of fallen women in California, and an interesting encounter with Edgar Allan Poe in Richmond three days before his death ; "Dreamy, delightful, seductive old Savannah! I have not seen it for more than forty years, but the memory of it is fresh and sweet and sacred. If I were a poet, I would put its Bonaventure Cemetery into verse. It is itself a poem. There is nothing just like it elsewhere: the live-oak avenues, draped with the long sea moss, gently stirred by the soft breeze; a sky that bends in deepest blue above, with no sound to break the stillness save the faint note of a song bird in the minor key, or the whisper of a breeze like "the sighing of broken reeds" that symbolizes that of breaking hearts. Sidney Lanier might have sung the song of Bonaventure had he seen it as I have seen it. The elegance of the city and the heartiness of the country met you in the old Savannah in a way that gave you wonder and delight. " ; FAIR.
