Near-miniature. (6)ff. One of fifty copies, privately printed on Japan paper. Frontispiece of ornamental Arabic printed in gilt and red. Title page border likewise in red, as well as limitation statement, header, and tailpiece. An early effort by Thompson in the practice and execution of miniature printing; his more well-known contribution would arrive in 1910 with the Rose Garden of Omar Khayyam, and in 1933 with the same title advertised as the smallest printed book in the world. Bound in plain wrappers printed in red and gilt. Light soiling, else near fine. Entirely unrecorded.
