Condizione: VG+. First edition. A beautifully bound scarce collection of verse and some prose by members of the Monks of St. Giles. The Monks of St. Giles is a somewhat secretive literary club founded in 1852 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Members are given monastic names affixed to their seats at gatherings.Combining sociability with poetry and prose composition, members meet for dinners where they read their poems. The clubstill exists today and meets at Edinburgh New Club. Every so many years a volume of members' (mostly) poetry contributions--that were initially read aloud at meetings in recent years---are privately published.
