The poems, of which the best-known is "When the Frost is on the Punkin," first appeared pseudonymously in the Indianapolis Journal.

BAL 16525.

Two volumes, 12mo. Half titles. Titles printed in red. Second edition text set in red rules. Original buff wrappers printed in red (some very light soiling, tips just rubbed); housed together in modern chemise and quarter morocco slipcase.
