Oxford: printed at the private press of H. Daniel, 1883. With the full list of subscribers inserted loose. No.2 of 100 copies. Miniated initial in red ink on p. 1. Pp. [4], 72. 4to., original vellum backed blue paper covered boards, spine lettered in gilt. Spine a little rubbed and soiled, one corner bumped, otherwise a very good copy.

With the full list of subscribers inserted loose, this was one of the first four which were bought by Mrs Waterhouse, Robert Bridges's mother in law who lived near him in Yattendon. She was married to Alfred Waterhouse who built the Natural History Museum and inscribed this copy to her son Paul Waterhouse in the year of publication and his booklabel is on the front pastedown. Mrs Waterhouse was interesting in her own right as she made Yattendon famous for its copper industry having taught brass beating to the local men selling pieces through Liberty's in London.
