Octavo. (30)pp. The Bewick woodblocks used for this edition belonged, at one time, to D.B. Updike and were lent by Philip Hofer. To these Hecht has added his 24 couplets, which aptly are both descriptive and prescriptive. Bound in brown paper over boards. Slight bumps to corners, else near fine in plain dust wrapper somewhat toned.
