Both the cover and spine of this exceptional example of Arts and Crafts period design have decorative ornaments and titles executed in light olive green and gilt. The design consists of stylized rose buds and foliage that replicate stenciled hand work. Top edge gilt. Elaborate ornamental title page in the Celtic tradition as well as several head and tail pieces in a mirroring design. A most unusual and handsome gift book produced by one of the leading publishers of the day. The book is notable also as the first volume to be produced in the highly regarded series, the Library of English Prose. A fine copy.
