Only 1500 of the first impression of this Macmillan edition were printed. The earlier Cuala Press version of this title had notably different contents, and some 17 new poems were added here. The London printing includes, for example, the first book appearence of An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, which remains one of the poet's crowning achievements. A very handsome copy, and rare in the original dust-jacket.
First Macmillan edition, first impression; 8vo (20 x 13.5 cm); ad. to front blank verso, publisher's device to half-title verso, very slight browning to margins of prelims and final leaves, hinge slightly cracked C8-D1; publisher's blue cloth stamped in gilt with design by Thomas Sturge Moore, original sand dust-jacket lettered in red, edges uncut, spine slightly faded, otherwise a very handsome copy; [2], ix, [1], 114, [2]pp.
