Item description from seller

First edition. Large octavo. 19pp. Stapled beige wraps with red patterned device and black lettering. A little oxidation on the stapled, modest age-toning on wrappers, very good or better. Includes sumptuous dinner menu and drinks list (Krug, Yquem and an 1811 Courvoisier),speeches by Shane Leslie, A.J.A. Symons, and C.H. Pirie-Gordon. A further Corvine dinner was held December 12th, 1929 generating another rare pamphlet. Fascinating item with rousing speeches from the dawn of Corvomania. Loosely inserted is a typed note on First Editions Club notepaper (Bedford Square) stating "With Mr. A.J.A. Symons compliments", indicating perhaps that he was the publisher. Rare. *OCLC* locates a single copy.
