85pp. Binding coming almost completely loose; already mostly loose from the spine, which is grubbied and faded; the grey boards have been quite enthusiastically chewed by small burrowing things. The poems had already appeared elsewhere at various times, but this edition is the first with illustrations (of which there are 27). The author states that this book 'is hopefully recommended to those whose desire it is to "cultivate friendly relations with the Natives."' 11e
