Henry Fuller Morriss (1858-1941) was a scrap merchant who founded St. Winifred’s mission in Rotherhithe, and later Woldingham Garden Village. A versifier, Morris wrote in memoriam poems for Queen Victoria, the Duke of Cambridge, and the US President William McKinley. These verses were printed, perhaps for distribution at services in St. Winifred’s, and some of them collected in the present volume. Others celebrate the coronations of Edward VII and George V, or the opening of the Royal Orphanage in Wolverhampton. Three mark the loss of life in the Boer War, another the nine scouts drowned off Leysdown in 1912, and another the loss of the Titanic. The book is rare, with only two copies recorded by OCLC (both BL).
