"A volume of short poems characterized by Oscar Wilde as 'verses full of sweet sadness and yet full of joy;' they were written by a young English friend of his of whom he speaks at length in his introduction" Publishers' Weekly October 7 1882. Rodd's dedication to Wilde reads: "To Oscar Wilde - 'Heart's Brother' - These Few Songs and Many Songs to Come." In addition to this effusive dedication "for which Wilde clearly was responsible the book was 'edited' by the omission of two poems Lucciole and Maidenhair.At the same time Wilde added nine of Rodd's poems which had not previously been collected" Mason p.185. In a letter to Thomas Mosher who reprinted this book Stoddart replies to Mosher's questions as to the number printed: "I think this deluxe issue was not over 250 copies." The edition de luxe is usually supposed to have been published earlier. Mason 242 J.M. Stoddart & Co unknown books

1891WRCLIT61926New York: Dodd Mead 1891. Rose cloth over boards lettered in yellow top edge stained brown. Spine a trifle darkened with some hand-smudging to cloth small nick at crown of spine but a very good copy. An American issue of the British sheets. Mason/Millard was unable to examine a copy of the American issue of the first edition sheets but describes a literal date in the title-imprint in a binding of the same color of cloth as this copy with the same overall dimensions. However the American issue of the second London edition does bear a literal date 1894 in the title imprint and is bound in tan cloth. Hence the copy in hand is most likely not a variant of the American issue of the second edition and may very well be the American issue of the first edition sheets 600 copies at variance from Mason/Millard's speculative description. With the pencil ownership inscription of American publisher Ingalls Kimball dated Chicago August 1894. MASON/MILLARD 343. Dodd, Mead hardcover books
