2 Longfellow, Henry W. THE ALARM BELL OF ATRI.
Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, n.d. [circa 1872, or later]. n.d. [circa 1872, or later]. Good 
- Octavo. A sheet of grayish green stock [8-7/8 inches high by 11-1/8 inches wide] has been folded to form 4 sides with an illustration in black on green within a red frame on the first side and with Longfellow's poem printed within red frames on the remaining 3 sides, followed by a tail-piece on the fourth side. The top inch and the bottom half inch of the fold has split. The 2 outer sides are lightly soiled & foxed with remnants of glue on the fourth side along the fold. Good.

Beneath the tail-piece is printed: "Presented to the public by a member of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals". Longfellow's poem tells of a retired knight who abandons his horse to starve. In pulling on some vines in an attempt to get something to eat, the horse wakes up the townspeople by causing the alarm bell of Atri to ring--a bell which the king has decreed should be rung by anyone who has been wronged and who demands justice. The townspeople duly ask justice for the horse and instruct the knight to feed and house it for the rest of its life.

The illustration on the first side, signed "Hollis" depicts the starving horse causing the great bell to ring. The tail-piece shows the wandering horse, the greedy knight counting his money, and the bell with a horse's head engraved on it.

A scarce separate edition of Longfellow's poem in his slightly revised 1872 edition [BAL 12156].
