Our research/resource indicates that this is known as the SEVENTH ANNUAL EDITION. The BOOK features POEMS and SHORT STORIES by a variety of well-known poets and authors known at the time of the printing.
The PUBLISHER E.J. BUTLER AND COMPANY includes the following "ADVERTISEMENT" at the beginning of the book: The present volume of the Leaflets of Memory is the seventh of the series, and previous success assures the publishers that this annual is firmly and permanently established in public favour. Again to bestow prise upon the artistic and literary illustrators of the work would be now a useless form. Mr. Devereux, the designer, and Mr. Sinclair, the printer of the Illuminations, Mr. C. Sherman, the printer of the letter-press, Mr. Altemus, the ornamental binder, Mr. Sartain, the engraver, and Dr. Reynell Coates, the editor, have, each in his department, reputations too widely extended to require our superscription, and in tenderin our respects and the compliments of the season to the patrons of "The Leaflets," the publishers feel confident that they have succeeded in the fulfilment of their purpose and pre-expressed determination, "to place and preserve this work at the head of the literature of the country."
The CONDITION of this BOOK is: ANTIQUE-USED. THIS BOOK IS IN NEED OF REPAIR AND PRESERVATION. The FRONT and BACK COVERS are completely seperated. The BINDING/SPINE is still intact. The first-four pages are seperated completely from the spine. The pages are browning, spotted and getting dry.
The CONDITION of the PRINT/ILLUSTRATIONS/ENGRAVINGS. The PRINT is DARK. The COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS are WONDERFULLY COLORFULL and have DEEP RICH COLORS. The BLACK and WHITE ENGRAVINGS are VERY DARK BLACK. Each illustration has been protected by a rice paper insert.
