Printed by C.R. Ashbee at The Essex House Press, Campden, Gloustershire, in an edition limited to 200 copies on hand-made Batchelor paper with a special watermark; type hand-set in 18-point Prayer Book, black and red, a variation of the 12-point Endeavour designed by Ashbee (Ransom p.268). Rebound in later quarter leather over black cloth boards. A fine copy, both externally and internally. Illustrated with a frontispiece by Ashbee, cut by W. Hooper. The Essex House Press became (1898-1909) one of the industries of the Guild of Handicraft founded by Ashbee in 1887, and printed its books on two Albion presses previously used by William Morris at the Kelmscott Press, manned by his former employees.
