Gibbs and F. Young. Pressmen: A.C. Cooper and W.R. Mills. This edition is limited to 450 copies."--Colophon.
"It was originally intended to issue these essays in two volumes, but owing to an accident in which more than half the edition of the first volume was destroyed, it was decided not to proceed with Volume II. The 190 surviving copies, being complete in themselves, were therefore issued to subscribers according to priority of application."--Bibliography of the Golden Cockerel Press.
