[ELIOT, T. S.] EZRA POUND, HIS METRIC AND POETRY. Portrait frontispiece after an ink sketch by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. 12mo, original

gilt-lettered rose boards; plain dust wrapper, split with a few chips. New York, 1917 [i.e., 1918] FIRST EDITION. One of 1000 copies. Elliot wrote in The Cantos of Ezra Pound: Some Testimonies (New York [1933], page 16): "There was a time when it did not seem unfitting for me to write a pamphlet... but Ezra was then known only to a few and I was so "completely unknown that it seemed more decent that the pamphlet should appear anonymously."
