Notes:
I haven't seen a copy of this book. It didn't sell very well when it was first published and was never reprinted. It contains a number of items which were later published in Backblock Ballads and Later Verses in 1918.

Details of the contents of this book have been obtained from C.J. Dennis: A Comprehensive Bibliography by Ian F McLaren.
