London: Allen & Unwin, [1939]., Gilt cloth. Some darkening to cloth and endsheets, but a good copy in moderately soiled and frayed dust jacket. First edition. Inscribed by the author: "John Gawsworth Salutation to a true poet Thomas Burke." A few pencil notes of such a nature as to suggest Gawsworth read the book in anticipation of reviewing it appear on the endsheets and occasionally in the text. Burke was among Gawsworth's second series of "Ten Contemporaries."
