PUBLICATIONS OF THE ESSEX HOUSE 

 PRESS. 



These books are printed at Essex House, on the presses used by the 

 late Mr. William Morris at the Kelmscott Press, which were purchased 

 by the Guild of Handicraft. Members of Mr. Morris's staff are also 

 retained 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. 



A new type has been designed by Mr. C. R. Ashbee, and is nearly 

 ready ; in the meantime the books of the Essex House Press are being 

 printed in a fine eighteenth-century Caslon fount, with specially designed 

 ornaments and initials. It is gratifying to note that the demand for the 

 limited editions of the books already issued is steady and persistent, and 

 it will probably not be long before they are out of print. 



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. 



The following volume of the Vellum Series is just ready : 

 Gray's Elegy written in a Country Churchyard. The third 



of the Vellum Series. This book will be in vellum throughout, with rubricated 

 initials, and there will be a hand-coloured wood-block frontispiece, designed by 

 Mr. GEORGE THOMSON, of the grave of Gray in Stoke Pogis Churchyard, Bucks. 

 The edition is limited to 125 copies. Price 2 2s. net.
