Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. One of 300 paper copies. There were also eight vellum copies. This is one of the most desirable books to be printed at perhaps the most influential and famous of all private presses. A total of 52 books were produced during the several years it was active. In his definitive history of the Kelmscott Press, William Peterson describes this as "the penultimate book printed at the Kelmscott Press and an interesting example of how Cockerell (Sydney, who was the second Secretary of the Press.) was compelled to solve book-design difficulties on his own, as no work had been done before October 1896" (Morris died on October 3 of that year). Peterson continues to write that while the last books printed by the Kelmscott Press did not display a dramatic falling off of quality, they represent a reversion to the simpler of ornamentation of the very earliest Kelmscott books. For this edition, Burne-Jones redrew the full-page woodcut he originally prepared for the earlier print edition about 25 years prior. Frontispiece and full-page woodcut by W. H. Hooper after Edward Burne-Jones, decorative woodcut border to frontispiece and facing first page of contents, further woodcut borders in the text, three-, six-, and eight-line woodcut initials. Text printed in blue, red, and black in Troy type, stage directions mostly in Chaucer type. In the original limp vellum with yapp edges. The spine has title lettered in gilt. All six of the green silk ties are present. Light soiling to spine and covers and covers are a bit splayed. Interior pages are in beautiful condition. Housed in a custom box wiith dark green spine and page edges, with titling and press name in gilt to spine. A near fine copy of this stunning book, one of the two final works to be issued by the press. The other was a A Note by William Morris on his Aims in Founding the Kelmscott Press. Measures 11.5 x 8.25 inches. 90 pages. PRI/041726.…

Plover on January 30, 1848, on a three-year mission to search for and relieve Sir John Franklin's Northwest Passage Expedition of 1845. Hooper led a party along the coast of the Bering Strait as far as Cape Atcheen, and through the winter mixed with the local people, whom he called Tuski, and whose language he learned. The following summer, in one of the Plover's boats, explored as far as the mouth of the Mackenzie River. Finally, in 1851, abandoning the Plover, the entire search party traveled overland to New York, and reached England in October. "Hooper's health had given way under the hardships of three Arctic winters, and he became a confirmed invalid, relieving the tedium of his illness by writing [this] account of the expedition." He died the following year, aged twenty-seven. (ODNB) N. B.

A precious artefact from a spiritual leader. 1p, 4to. On brittle and lightly-creased paper, aged and discoloured, with closed tears and slight loss at one corner and repair with archival tape. The handwriting is hurried and hard to decipher. Begins: 'Dear Fellow Pilgrim / Before sending you the lessons, after reading your letter, & explaining your difficulties, I think it will be wise for you to go through the [briefest?] principles of Living in [true?] relation to your soul and [the?] body, so I am sending you a text book of a guinea course on that free.' He continues with an explanation of the intended preparation and its costs, after which the recipient 'will be more ready to understand the course and the main teaching which is a bit more advanced, & I am afraid until you have got a better understanding of certain principles that it would not do you the benefit you expect.' Signed, lengthwise up one margin and over the letterhead, 'W S Hooper'.…
