An unrecorded volume of poetry by an author who provides his photograph but not his name. The poems are on varying subjects such as life, death, motherhood, naval poems on HMS Kent, HMS Southampton & HMS Thames City, an acrostic poem beginning with the letter "a", French titled poems based upon La Fontaine's fables, Latin titled poems about the fragility of life, shame and more. The final section of twenty-four poems are linked by titles to the liturgical year with biblical quotations in brackets.
Presentation manuscript inscription [where???] "Helen Hickley from W. N. W. June 1879". Manuscript corrections, presumably by the author to three leaves.
