Description
Mission, BC Canada: Barbarian Press, 2025. Softcover. Fine. Softcover. One of 120 copies. This is the 3rd of the Loose Canons pamphlets, a series conceived by the Press to draw readers' attention to poets whose work, once well known, has fallen into the shadows & become lost to sight. Edward Thomas, (1878 - 1917) was killed in Flanders. He was a British writer of English poetry and prose. He is sometimes considered a war poet, although few of his poems deal directly with his war experiences. He only started writing poetry at the age of 36, but by that time he had already been a prolific critic, biographer, nature writer and travel writer for two decades. In 1915, he enlisted in the British Army to fight in the First World War and was killed in action during the Battle of Arras in 1917, soon after he arrived in France. The text for this pamphlet is taken from the Oxford edition of Thomas's Collected Poems. Crispin Elsted designed the piece and arranged the poems. It is sewn into wraps of gray St-Armand paper. The type is Joanna with Tiern Titling for display, and the text is on Zerkall Cream Laid paper. In fine condition. Measures 7.25 x12 inches. Unpaginated (18 pages) PRI/012126.

Description
Richmond, VA, 1877. 24" x 16 ½" folded in fourths horizontally and in half vertically. Worn with minor tearing along folds. Vol. II, No. 176, October 11, 1877. 4pp. ~~Owned and edited by John Hampden Chamberlayne (1838-1882), a Confederate lawyer who served as an aid to General A.P. .Hill, and later as a Virginia Delegate in 1879-1880. His war letters were posthumously published in "Ham Chamberlayne - Virginian", 1932.~ ~Chamberlayne's paper circulated in Manchester for 1 cent/issue, 6 days/week. This issue shows a printing error at the bottom left 1st page from a divot in the paper. The "Situation in France" and a reprint of Adolphe Thiers' farewell address take up the bulk of the content aside from classifieds. Of interest are a piece about the "racy" performance of 3 blonde women called the "Dizzies" in "overcoming" makeup who sang and danced at an unnamed venue, and a section of "Special Paragraphs" in which the following chastisement from Chamberlayne reads, "Still fighting the Battle of Gettysburg? If there had been more of us there it might have been fought out on the field, and there would have been fewer left to find fault with the generals".~ ~ Fair-Good.~.
