Scope and content
Proofs, 1897, 1915, of parts of two books by Edward Thomas, containing a few corrections and revisions in the author's hand.
The proofs for The Woodland Life (Edinburgh and London, 1897), his first published volume, consist of a single gathering (paginated 1-16), being the beginning of the article 'The Sweet o' The Year' (ff. 1-8). As well as the inscription 'Mother. May 7. 1897' (on f. 1) there are a few emendations in ink (ff. 3 recto-verso, 8). The proofs for Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds (London, 1915), his only book written for children, consist of four loose gatherings (paginated [i]-viii, 1-48), comprising most of the first eleven chapters, and contain several minor corrections in pencil (ff. 9-36).
