1903	THE FIVE NOTIONS	Crosland, T. W. H. Kipling, Rudyard	$ 95.00

(Kipling, Rudyard.) Crosland, T. W. H. THE FIVE NOTIONS. London: Grant Richards, 1903. Original maroon cloth.

First Edition of this poetical parody of Kipling's THE FIVE NATIONS (published earlier in 1903, and best known for "The White Man's Burden"), printed and bound similarly to its target. For example...

Take up the White Man's burden,

Descend his reeking shafts,

Gasp in his red-hot workings

And get your air in wafts:

And since there is no telling

How soon you may be dead,

Remember, that fat White Man

Is shooting overhead!

A very good copy, with slightly faded spine. Not in Stewart; Richards 1079.

Orders and Inquiries Sumner & Stillman 1779
