Edinburgh: T. Foulis, 1920; 1921. First Editions. Two volumes. Octavo. 20cm. Publisher's blue coth spines, over drab paper covered boards, titled in gilt and dark grey to spines and front boards. Lacking dustjackets.130pp.; [2pp] ads to rear; 142pp. [2pp] ads. Light wear and some scuffing and soiling to the lower edges, the grey paper covering the boards has a tendency to brown and soil and there is some sign of this on the Second Series volume, some marginal bumping, strong and durable; internally clean, fore and lower edges untrimmed. Very good tidy copies.
A rather charming collection of poetry from the early 20th century Scottish school, showcasing the work of luminaries like Buchan and Munro, all edited and brought together by C.M. Grieve, who is better known to all and sundry as Hugh McDiarmid. Issued in two series between 1920 and 1922, with a single volume edition (essentially just both first edition volumes bound together, including their title pages) distributed at the end of 1922.
