Late in life, he published four books - of which this is the last. The book opens with an essay by Alcott on poetry followed by his sonnets and 'canzonets' on the right page with favorite quotes from other authors on the left. the publisher's original brown cloth with embossed black illustrations on the front cover along with gilt lettering.
