The Culprit Fay. Illustrated by Ross and Turner. [New 

 York:] George D. Sproul, 1902. 



4°; text beautifully printed, one side only, on 49 leaves of 

 genuine vellum, with illuminated initial letters, and having a 

 separate leaf of vellum for the highly illuminated title-page; 

 also blank leaves of vellum at the beginning and end of the 

 book. This is the edition of the St. Dunstan Illuminated 

 Classics, of which perhaps not more than ten copies were 

 issued. They were elaborately bound. A copy was sold at 

 auction by Stan V. Henkels, of Philadelphia, on Dec. 21, 

 1904, for $77.50; another sold at the American Art Galleries, 

 on March 27. 1917, fetched $100. I have not seen this 

 edition.

The American Flag. / By J. R. Drake. 



8° ; broadside, two columns of text on one side only This 

 very rare broadside edition, measuring 9 by 5^4 inches, is un- 

 dated. It was probably printed during the Civil War, and 

 the word free in the last verse is emphasized by italics. Copy 

 owned by the Bronx Society and is the only one I have ever 

 seen. It was formerly in the collection of American first 

 editions formed by I. Chester Chamberlain.
