Names of previous owners appear on endpapers. Inscription by the copyright holder, Eben H. Norris, dated Feb. 10th, 1919. Some foxing, particularly on endpapers. The War in Verse and Prose, edited, with an introduction, notes and original matter by W.D. Eaton. Published by T.S. Denison & Company, Chicago, in 1918. Copyright is held by Eben H. Norris. Inscription on endpaper: "To Walter J. Bush. May you have as much enjoyment in reading these verses as I had in collecting and publishing. Eben H. Norris. Feb. 10th, 1919." "Emerging from a long drawn nightmare of war, the world will take account of its recent past even while it looks to preparation for the future. The retrospect will disclose an amazing alchemy. We were living through great days--how great we could not know until they had passed away. . But out of the fury that raged round our world came many voices, voices of lamentation, of home, of love and hope and loftiest aspiration, of romance, of comedy as well as tragedy. . It would not be well were all these voices lost. . Readers will find many sidelights upon topics and personalities where they seemed to be necessary for better comprehension. These touches may commend themselves for their own sake." -- The Reason for This Book, pages, 5-6. Includes 199 pages, Rules for Displaying the Flag, Foreign Names and Their English Pronunciation, and an index of first lines.…
