Seven Songs in the Major and Minor

By: Bayley, Robert Charlton

Price: $35.00

Publisher: Moncton, Privately Printed

Seller ID: 018852

Binding: Stiff Card Wraps

Condition: Very Good

One of only 200 copies printed by L'imprimerie Acadienne Limitee in Moncton, featuring verse of a theological nature. Inscription on title page reads, "To May/a favorite friend/(undecipherable [possibly sincerely])/Robin". Since "Robin" is occasionally a nickname for "Robert," this could be a signed copy, but not being able to prove it in this case, I am not offering this as anything but a fairly decent copy of a generally scarce work by a New Brunswick musician/poet. Unpaginated (12). Moderate general wear.
