ESSEX HOUSE PRESS PUBLICATIONS. 



MR. EDWARD ARNOLD has much pleasure in calling attention to the 

 fact that almost without exception these interesting books have all been 

 bought up and become out of print before publication, while one or two 

 that have found their way into the sale-rooms have commanded a high 

 premium. 



These books are printed by the Guild of Handicraft, at Essex 

 House, on the hand presses used by the late Mr. William Morris at 

 the Kelmscott Press. Members of Mr. Morris's staff are also re- 

 tained at the Essex House Press, and it is the hope of the Guild of 

 Handicraft by this means to continue in some measure the tradition of 

 good printing and fine workmanship which William Morris revived. 



Subscribers to the complete series of Essex House Publications are 

 given priority for any new book issued, and the number of subscribers 

 is constantly increasing. Intending subscribers and persons who desire 

 to receive announcements of the forthcoming publications are reconv 

 mended to enter their names as soon as possible.
