N'EN PARLONS PLUS!, EXCERPTS FROM DIVERS PAPERS & CHRONIC...

Printed in "a bastard version" of Caslon Oldface italic and Goudy Modern roman. Wood-engraved abstraction of the initial i for the Prolegomena, vignette on the title-page, and design for the front cover by John C. Haley. Excerpts from chronicles of The Arts Club's past season.

Rather it is a souvenir, intended to revive some of our very happy memories." Finely printed.
