Notes: A very attractive book from early in the career of this printer, who quickly acquired eminence in the field and whose copy this is; it being so, it lacks the signatures (including his own) found in other copies.[With] A leaflet from George Gregory of Bath advertising the manuscript to which this volume refers as being for sale, 2pp. reproduced in facsimile and quotes from May Morris, pp. [4], crown 8vo, very good condition. An interesting piece of ephemera, elucidating some of the sales history of this manuscript...moreA very attractive book from early in the career of this printer, who quickly acquired eminence in the field and whose copy this is; it being so, it lacks the signatures (including his own) found in other copies.[With] A leaflet from George Gregory of Bath advertising the manuscript to which this volume refers as being for sale, 2pp. reproduced in facsimile and quotes from May Morris, pp. [4], crown 8vo, very good condition.
