"Copyright, 1916, by Robert M. McBride & Co."

"In printing a collection of 'adapted' verses, there seems to be no Median or Persic makeshift whereby plodding translation may, with desirable precision, be distinguished from those less faithful paraphrases ... Upon consideration, this has appeared as satisfactory a rule of thumb as any - to indicate the latter by mention of an author's name, and with the former to include in addition the initial words of the original."--Apologia Auctores.

"Of this book only 620 copies were printed from type."--Cf. Holt.
