London: Printed at the Chiswick Press By Charles Whittingham and Co. For Messrs. Ellis, 1908. First Edition . Printed Card Wrappers. Very Good. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. Inscribed to Harold Adams from Samuel Looker, New Year 1951. Adams was founder of the Richard Jefferies Society. Looker devoted himself to Jefferies for over half a century, publishing numerous volumes of journalistic material which had never previously been re-printed, and new matter from diaries, notebooks and unfinished manuscripts that he had tracked down. Looker's biography: 'Richard Jefferies: Man of the Fields' was published after the author's death in 1965. Original blue-grey, printed card wrappers with minor wear. 14 pp. A few spots to title page. Inscription to verso of front cover. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. The poem, in its earliest form, was first published in "The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine" in 1856. It had been planned and begun some years earlier, being founded on a story in the "Gesta Romanorum." Rossetti afterwards revised it and added some new stanzas. In its present completed form it first appeared in the volume of his "Poems" published in 1881. This is the first standalone version. A must-have for Rossetti and Jefferies collectors alike.

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250.
