William Henry Venable Poems of William Haines Lytle Edited

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first edition of this, the only complete collection of the poems of William Haines Lytle, was issued in the year 1894, at the request of the poet's sister, Mrs. Josephine R. Foster, who supplied the editor with much biographical material, including personal letters and other authentic manuscripts. The plates from which the book was printed were destroyed by the Pike's Opera House fire of 1903, and in order to meet a growing demand for copies of the volume the present edition is published.
