None of Scott, Walsdorf, or Buxton Forman indicate whether the large copy or trade take precedence, but nevertheless, the large paper issue is more desirable. Buxton Forman states "[t]his remarkable work of true collaboration, in which both Morris and Mr. Bax went over every sentence, was now dug out of The Commonweal, revised, and printed . . ."
Sm 4to. [4], [v-viii], 1-335. Scott pg. 28; Walsdorf 59; Buxton Forman 142.
