Condición: Very Good. Boston: Lee and Shepard, Publishers, 1875. First Edition. Small Octavo (18x11.5x1cm); 97pp. Publisher's hunter green cloth with gilt spine and front panel stamping. Both panels with four beveled edges. Brown coated endpapers. Publisher's botanical emblem on title page. Binding shows edge chafing at lightly bumped panel corners, and slight tears at crown and foot of spine. Small blotch (1.5cm) on publisher's leaf before title page, but textblock otherwise unmarred and unmarked. Lawyer George Edmund Otis (1847-1906), who began his career in the law office of Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (he of "Two Years Before the Mast"), and then would practice law first in Boston, later in California, published two books of poetry: this one, and "Thurid and Other Poems." His verse is at home in the literary company of, say, Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Their pentameter always rhymes, their rhymes satisfy, their satisfactions are moral. And their volumes, so specifically of an era, are pleasant little curiosities. One would like to know why Mr. Otis reduced his name to initials when publishing. Was he sheepish about versifying? Did he think unexpanded initials lent cachet? Certainly any aspiring household would have been proud to prop up this volume on an anti-macassar next to the parlor organ.
