With a gift inscription on the title page "Ed Marsh from Robt Bridges 1915." A deeply obscure book of very morbid mystical poems, almost all of them dealing with death or suicide.

One of 50 copies. 6 leaves only, stapled into original unlettered decorative wrappers, [printed for the author by the Columbia Press, London) With the poet's inscription to Eddie Marsh on the colophon leaf "For Eddie".

First edition. 8vo., original blue green cloth. London, Faber & Faber.  The copy of Eddie Marsh, with quite extensive manuscript notes to several of the essays. They show a balanced judgment on Eliot, ranging from enthusastic agreement to hostile scorn, especially on any grammatical or stylistic lapses. The most extensively annotated essay is 'Tradition and the individual talent': he approves of Eliot's point that the "existing order" of works of art is altered and it is no surprise that "the past should be altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past".  A fascinating copy, demonstrating a close critical reading of two of the early 20th Century's arbiters of poetical taste.…

Accommodata ad usum Scholae Regiae Westmonasteriensis. 8vo., contemporary binders' half cloth. Londini: Impensis G.W. Ginger, Westmonasterii, Juxta Schola Regam With Eddie Marsh's complete translation on the interleaved blanks, totalling 55 pages of manuscript, completed by him as a scholar at Westminster school, at the age of 13. He is already striving for a casual voice in translation, and sometimes achieves it: "It's a true proverb, which is common among the people, that everyone takes best care of number one. I'll go home and tell my master & I'm afraid that for my sorry news I shall get sorry wages.".…
