Beautiful first edition 1897 copy of Selections from the Poems of Timothy Otis Paine, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons, The Knickerbocker Press of New York. Copyright 1897 by Agnes H. Paine as this volume was published 2 years after his death. Paine was an American poet and Swedenborgian minister, locally famous in the Bridgewater, MA area for carving his poetry into rocks in the forest. This volume contains dozens of his poems, which are short pieces reflecting his love of nature and deep faith.

Vintage estate find, please see photos. In beautiful condition but does have a few spots of discoloration on the cover as shown. Some minor wear to corners and edges. The gilding on the cover is in excellent condition. The pages were left uncut in production, giving it a bit of rustic luxury. Binding and pages are intact and with no issues noted. At some point, this book was a gift and has an inscription on the inside cover page. Overall, a beautiful book of poetry in excellent condition from over 125 years ago.
