Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Handmade Paper Edition. The only copy such available to the trade currently, being a sturdy, attractive copy of the Handmade Paper Edition, flexible hardcover wraps, and then with stiff laminated paper wraps thereover, with a simple design flourish at front cover. Printed partly because of the recent stage production of the play by the Elizabethan Society. Previous owner's inscription with a flourish, in pen, at first free endpaper, dated March 8th, 1907 but otherwise illegible. Else clean and unmarked of interior, though slightly foxed at end. Light cracking to front joints top and bottom and slight edge-wear to the wraps.

Bullen, and who also contributed substantially to the Dictionary of National Biography.
