Edition limited to 1400 copies, this being one of 200 retained by the Yellow Barn Press for sale, and with a printed slip laid in reading: "These copies differ only in that the portrait of Morris is printed in 2 colors directly from the engravings. In the other 1200 copies the portrait is in black only and printed offset." 8vo, pp. x, [2], 34, [2]; portrait frontispiece and 2 plates engraved by John de Pol; original blue paper-covered boards, printed in black on upper cover and spine; fine. The lecture from which this book draws its text was one of "the most balanced, nonpartisian appraisals of Morris as a printer." and earlier copies of it quickly became quite scarce. There were two other issues printed, one in an edition of 155, and another of 200. Walsdorf A16.
