"This edition of the silence is intended for the general reader; but being radically new it is addressed also to the student and the scholar. It is based upon my claim to have discovered the original order of the sonnets – although I came to the discovery from an old hypothesis – namely that the young man to whom most of the sonnets are addressed was William Herbert, later the 3rd Earl of Pembroke – and from working out some of the striking implications of that hypothesis, yet the order itself does not rest upon it; it stands independently. – – Page 6 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 286, (2) pages,.
