An address given by Mackail, Burne-Jones's son-in-law, after encouragement by Annie Cobden-Sanderson, the suffragette, wife of Thomas Cobden-Sanderson of the Doves Press and friend of Morris, which gives a superb overview of the life of William Morris. The address was given where Morris first started making carpets and which was later used for the meetings of the Hammersmith Socialist Society. Mackail wrote the first biography of William Morris in 1899. This address was first published by The Doves Press in 1901. It has been printed in red and black by T.J. Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker. This is the third publication of the press.
