Octavo. 32pp. With A. E.'s "Sword of Light" device ahead of the title page. The second book of the Press, printed in red and black Caslon after the fashion of Emery Walker, who worked with T. J. Cobden-Sanderson at his Doves Press and advised the Yeats sisters, Elizabeth and Lily, on the fundamentals of fine presswork. A. E. was a close friend of the W. B. Yeats, the eldest of the Yeats siblings, and was even more given to poetic mysticisms. Yeats himself brokered the arrangement between the poet and Dun Emer. Bound in quarter buckram with gray paper over boards. Spine somewhat toned, offsetting to flyleaves. Else a clean, sharp copy and very good or better. (Miller 2)
