Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Dustjacket as issued. First Edition. The special poems of a lifetime are presented in this volume. These garnered thoughts are sent forth in book form with the sincere wish that, while helping the many to while away a leisure hour, some of them may strengthen the reader for the battle of life, give more generous impulses to those who have been careless or selfish, and lead a few, at least, to a higher place of Christian living. 374 pages, photos, portrait front; green cloth covers stamped in black & gold. "Mr. Griffith?s poetic genius began to develop when he was ten years old, at which time his first poem was printed. He has written frequently both in prose and verse, and many of his pieces have been illustrated, and some set to music. Many of his productions have been given to the world through the columns of the Youth?s Companion, St. Nicholas, Christian Work, New York Independent, New York Observer, and other well-known periodicals; and several may be found in Poems of Places, edited by Longfellow, in Drake?s Legends of New England , in The Scholar?s Speaker, Poets of America , Wayside Flowers, and other standard collections of verse. His reputation thus extends far beyond the limits of the New England States. An extended biographical sketch of Mr. Griffith, with a portrait, appeared a few years since in the Boston Home Guest, and more recently in the Magazine of Poetry, Buffalo, N.Y., and in two anthologies published in Chicago. The leading elocutionists of America are using Mr. Griffith?s poems in their readings; and his Swiss Good Night, which is extremely popular, has been translated into several languages. Mr. Griffith has been engaged for years in editing a large work on the poets of Massachusetts, and contemplates publishing a volume of his own miscellaneous poems at an early day, to be followed by a collection of his local poems in New Hampshire. In 1888 he finished the compilation of The Poets of Maine, which was issued in Portland; and the work has secured for its compiler the unanimous praise of its readers as a most excellent judge of the best efforts of Maine?s poetical writers".…
