As Daniel Berkley Updike's successor, from 1896-1912, Bruce Rogers worked at Houghton Mifflin's Riverside Press. He most likely designed this elegant edition of this famed work by Omar Khayyam. The book was reviewed on June 30, 1900 by The New York Times, which called it an important limited edition. The write: "The first impression on taking up the new limited edition of the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam, edited by William Augustus Brown, from the second Quaritch edition of Fitz Gerald's edition, which Mr. Brown has modified by the insertion of omitted stanzas from the first edition and by some of the variants of the first, third, and fourth editions, is that of extreme pleasure in all its mechanical details." Of particular note in this edition are the lengthy introduction by Brown and the extensive notes regarding many of the stanzas.
