Binding slightly scuffed at edges, and a little marked, else very good. A title-page bearing Walter Scott's poem, 'Sound, Sound the Clarion', as an epigraph, is followed by a preface addressed by the anthologist to his sons, Oliver and Maurice: 'This booklet was suggested years ago to me by the Teacher, whom you remember to have seen, and to whom I owe a debt which you can best repay by taking to heart the spirit with which these pages overflow.
