He contributed to the development of literary taste with a number of poetry anthologies. This is one of his poetry anthologies, with a particular focus on religious poetry, selecting from four centuries of English lyrical poetry. Poets include Edmund Spenser, William Wordsworth, George Herbert, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. In a quarter paper vellum binding. Externally generally smart, with small marks to the boards. Front board is slightly bowed. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for a little offsetting to the end papers. Very Good
