Pancoast" ; "Not only is poetry one of the noblest and most uplifting of the arts; it is peculiarly fitted, from some aspect at least, to be the art most universally enjoyed. Few can hope to own--even to see--the greatest pictures or statues; their beauty must of necessity be monopolized by a country, or a class, while the elaborate requirements of performance keep much of the greatest music from the multitude; but the beauty of the greatest poems is spread for men's delight almost as liberally as the wonders of dawn and sunset; it is almost as free as sunlight or the stars."--preface ; red cloth with gold lettering and design ; well-worn, reading copy only, with front ep and flyleaf missing ; bookplate at front ; marks at back ep ; detailed notes and explanations at back ; POOR.
