An interesting association copy. This book has the Princeton address label of George McLean Harper (1863-1947) and his ownership signature on the title page. Harper was a leading Wordsworth scholar, a close friend of President Woodrow Wilson, and Princeton University's first Woodrow Wilson Professor of Literature. In 1947, Time Magazine eulogized Harper as, "an erect and kindly man who loved all that was good in men and books." His thousands of students "had listened to his dry, earnest voice over a classroom lectern, or heard him read aloud a favorite poem in his sun-patched garden." This book may have served as a reference for Harper to prepare for one such interesting lecture or paper.
