8vo. 220 x 140 mm., [8 ¾ x 5 ½ inches]. 18pp. Original brown printed paper wrappers. "Samuel Deane, Scituate, Mass" written in ink on front wrapper (whether an autograph or just a simple notation is undetermined).
First edition. Attributed to Samuel Deane, Rev. Deane, pastor of the Second Church in Scituate from 1810 through 1834 and author of The History of Scituate, Massachusetts From Its First Settlement. . . published in 1831. "In the mind of Mr. Deane the qualities of strength and beauty were happily united. His genius was essentially poetical. An imagination exceedingly productive; a sensibility thrilling at a touch; a cultivated taste; a susceptibility to the pleasures of music rarely excelled; a true sympathy with Nature and with Man; these were all properties which were obvious in him upon even a moderate degree of intimacy." (Obituary, Chr,. Reg. August 23, 1834.). . . His attempts at poetical composition were not numerous. He delivered a Poem entitled, The Populous Village, before the Philermenian Society of Brown University, in 1826, which was published, and also a satirical Poem on Some Literary Errors of the Age, before another literary society connected with that institution. "
