Item description from seller

First edition. Boards soiled, first blank missing, title page soiled, some pages foxed. Contemporary photograph laid in. 1884 Hard Cover. xviii, 361 pp. Green cloth, gilt titles, black stamped decorations, all edges gilt, decorated endpapers. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Marie was the daughter of Fannie H. Burridge Radcliffe, and wife of minister Thomas Davenal Butler. When she was two years old, her family moved to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. It was there that, at age 13, Marie wrote one of her first poems, The Falling Leaf, which was published in its original form many years afterwards, in the Christian Standard. In 1853, her parents moved to Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia), where her father died in a cholera epidemic not long after. Her mother then opened a school for instruction in music, drawing and embroidery, and Marie became her assistant. While in Wheeling, Marie won first prize at the county fair for a series of pencil sketches. In 1857, Mrs. Radcliffe accepted a governess position at a private boarding school in Brownsboro, Kentucky, with Marie again serving as her assistant. In Brownsboro, Marie's mother married to Deacon John S. Christopher, of Louisville, Kentucky, and soon after, Marie entered the Louisville Female High School to finish her education. Marie contributed many poems to the Christian Standard and to the New York Independent. By 1876, Marie was living in Detroit, Michigan. She was active in the Women's Christian Temperance Union in her later years. - Hymn Time.
