Ballads and Lyrics Compiled by Henry Cabot Lodge Houghton, Mifflin and Company, The Riverside Press Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts Copyright 1880 (by Houghton, Osgood & Company) Although copyrighted in 1880 by the firm of Houghton, Osgood & Company, that firm dissolved in May 1880 because of Osgood’s massive debts, at which time Houghton, Mifflin and Company was formed (including an office at 11 East Seventeenth Street, New York, which is listed on the titlepage along with Boston), but Osgood reneged on the deal, forming James R. Osgood & Company and took with him much of Houghton’s list, but there is no evidence that Ballads and Lyrics was ever published by Osgood. Houghton, Mifflin later reprinted and expanded this book because of popular demand, but the Preface in this copy (see below) now being offered clearly indicates that this was not an expanded reprint. Thus, this copy is possibly a first edition or very early second printing Selected and arranged by Henry Cabot Lodge. Illustrated bookplate of Comfort A. Adams on the front free endpaper. Name of former owner on the front flyleaf: “Bessie C. Parsons Prospect Hill Greenfield” With Biographical Notes 394 p.; 19 cm. (7.5 inches). Dark brown cloth, with gilt-stamped spine title. No dust jacket. Includes Index of Authors and index of First Lines. Dark brown endpapers. Possibly First Edition or early Second Printing “This collection is intended for boys and girls between the ages of twelve and eighteen, in our public and private schools, and especially in the former. This class of readers, I need hardly say, covers not only a wide variety of age, capacity, and disposition, but a still wider range of opportunity and association, from children who have every advantage, both at home and in school, to obtain books and know about literature, to those who unfortunately have books only in school and must go, for more extended reading, without a guide to our public libraries. The poem which will appeal without explanation to one child is dumb to another, and it is for this reason that this collection ranges from the ‘Soldier from Bingen’ and the ‘Old Sergeant’ to Milton’s ‘L’Allegro’ and the Songs of Shakespeare. If children will read the former, or can be induced to do so, there is no reason why they cannot be led on through all the intervening stages to the highest kind of poetry” [from the Preface]. Book is in Very Good Condition: complete, pages clean, tight, and unmarked; light wear both ends of the spine which is lightly rubbed along the front cover. Corners lightly worn. Nice copy!
