Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First edition in Mohawk. viii, 456 p. 22 cm. Full leather. Respined with gilt impressing, 5 raised bands and gilt-lettered label. Hinges repaired internally. New England Corporation bookplate on front pastedown. Ink presentation inscription on front free endpaper: "Presented to James Powles by his friend & minister The Rev. A Nelles 19 June 1842." Signature spelled James Powlass above. Mohawk inscription and signature on next leaf. Occasional stains and thumbing. Rev. Abraham (or Abram) Nelles (1805-1884) was a Church of England clergyman and missionary to the Six Nations. Nelles was principal of the Mohawk Institute, a day-school operated by the New England Company for "Indian" students. Nelles first used his knowledge of the Mohawk language to publish in 1839 a hymnal entitled "A collection of psalms and hymns, in the Mohawk language, for the use of the Six Nations Indians." This translation project, also published in Hamilton, dates to a few years later. He is buried in the graveyard of the Mohawk Church. Interestingly, two individuls named "Powless" are also buried there, so James was probably one of his parishioners.

A nice association with a man widely regarded as the greatest English poet of the First World War, and a scarce item of which not many copies can have been printed, and no other copy has been traced. 4pp, 8vo. Bifolium on laid paper. In fair condition, lightly aged, with slight creasing at head. Explanatory note on final page begins: 'The memorial to Wilfred Owen is cut on Portland stone by Michael Harvey from lettering drawn by Reynolds Stone, CBE, RDI. / The graves of Tom and Susan Owen, the poet's father and mother, and of his sister Mary are in the south-east corner of the churchyard. / Tea will be served by the ladies of the parish after the service at the old vicarage, now called The Glebe House, where Wilfred Owen lived from 20 October 1911 to 7 February 1913 while acting as lay assistant to the Rev. Herbert Wigan. A small display of books by and about Owen may be seen there.' The two central pages give the order of service, beginning with the text of Catherine Winkworth's translation of Rinkart's 'Now thank we all our God'. A list of the readings follows, with Owen's biographer Jon Stallworthy speaking about 'Wilfred Owen at Dunsden', and Ian Parsons about 'Wilfred Owen as Poet'. Letters by Owen to his mother ('The Sentry' and 'The Send-Off') are read by Stallworthy, the actress Jill Balcon, D. J. Enright and Peter Owen. The poets Ted Hughes, Geoffrey Hill and Robert Gittings read poems by Owen and extracts from letters. The memorial is dedicated by the Bishop of Oxford, and there is a 'Bidding Prayer' by Rev. Norman Print, Vicar of Dunsden.
