(title page), exh. no. 20, p. 158; see also p. 17 (assessment by Colin Franklin). This work is a collaboration of Baskin's design and McGrath's presswork in the heyday of The Gehenna Press. Colin Franklin quotes its prospectus in his assessment in the Bridwell Library catalogue, "After the Apology of Socrates before the Jury of Five Hundred, Babeuf's plea before the tribunal of the Directory during the final hours of the French Revolution is perhaps the most splendid testament ever uttered in behalf of the freedom of man's mind." Baskin relates in his note to the entry in the catalogue: "The book is an exemplar of an ideal that the press strove for in those years. A meaningful text, generally unavailable, set forth in handsome & apposite typography & enhanced with a set of etchings, woodcuts or lithographs, that enlarge or augment or deepen the text. To make this glorious work more widely known the University of Massachusetts Press published a popular edition of it.".…
