Top edges stained brown, fore edges roughly trimmed, bottom edges uncut. Spine panel missing, no dust jacket; hinge cracked but binding solid and pages clean. Bookseller ticket pasted inside back cover. [Gallup A4b]. This is the first collection of Eliot poems published in his native country, the US. Although the poems occur in different order, the contents are the same as those of Ara Vos Prec, except the "Hysteria" is substituted for "Ode" and "Le spectateur" is titled "Le directeur." The original manuscripts and typescripts of many of these poems are now in the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library. The book is dedicated to Jean Verdenal 1889-1915, a French medical officer who served and was killed in World War I in the Gallipoli Campaign at the Dardanelles. Verdenal was a classmate of Eliot's at the Sorbonne and introduced him to the French symbolist poets. From the estate of Robert Cecil Bald (1901-1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who moved to the US to teach at Cornell University in 1937 and was then a professor at the University of Chicago 1952-1965.
