London: Burns and Oates, (1914). First edition thus. Hardcover. Slim 24mo. hardcover in rose colored cloth with spine titled in gilt. SIGNED ON THE TITLE PAGE: "Alice Meynell/ 1917". First edition thus with the following publisher's statement: "Originally published as 'Later Poems' (1902) and now incorporated in the author's complete volume of 'Collected Poems' (1913), this group of Verses is still the subject of a separate demand which this edition is designed to satisfy." Original decorated wraps bound in, this volume is bound in cloth hardcovers; apparently a small number of these were so bound as we have also encountered one in reen cloth hardcovers.
