Cover rubbed, light tone, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover. ; Poetry collection by New York-born, Wilkes-Barre (Pennsylvania) lawyer poet Jones.

Despite this less than lauditory book review, local history The Historical Record (1888) states that "it had rapid sale and the edition was soon exhausted."
