Bookseller 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
