RARE GOLFING ANTHOLOGY, assembled by the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society and printed for private circulation among members. Murdoch agrees with Hopkinson in considering the book 'of the greatest importance because it brought attention to some of the earliest poems which, but for their appearance here, might not have survived'. They include Mathison's 'The Goff', Carnegie's 'Golfiana', 'The Golfer's Garland', the first appearance of verses by James Ballantine, and of 'The Nine Holes of St. Andrews' by the two Robert Chambers and P.P. Alexander. This is one of 'a few special copies for presentation purposes prepared for Robert Clark' without the list of subscribers and in a pebbled rather than a ribbed cloth binding. Hopkinson pp. 20-21; Murdoch 129.
