CONCRETE POETRY. Chiniquy Rev. C. Charles.
Manual of the Temperance Society; Dedicated to the Youth of Canada . . . Translated from the French by Pierre Octave Démary Student at Law . . . First English Edition.
Montreal: Lovell & Gibson Printers St. Nicholas Street 1847. Original wrappers.

He later emigrated to Illinois left the church and became an anti-Catholic Protestant activist. Besides a wealth of anecdotal content on the antics of Canadian drunkards and those who had reformed the rear wrapper also includes a typographical-graphic concrete prose poem "The Drunkard's Tree" a characteristic piece that to the squinting optimist anticipates perhaps Apollinaire.<br /><br />Modern bookplate on the inside front wrapper with that owner's modern ink signature on the title page.
