Catalogue Note
VERY RARE, with no copy sold at auction since 1975, and only two copies before that going back to 1932. There are three copies only recorded on COPAC (British Library, V&A and Bodleian). Simonidea includes the author's celebrated poem on Rose Aylmer (the sister of his friend Lord Aylmer), who sailed to India with an aunt and died two years later of cholera.
