,N the preparation of this volume which in- 
 cludes all of the publications of the Kelms- 
 cott and Doves Presses, I desire to say that 
 I have had no part in the work as it is here- 
 in presented. The necessary collations and 
 the arrangement of this bibliography have been made by 
 my librarian, Robert Ernest Cowan, with the able col- 
 laboration ofmyjirst and second assistants, Cora Edger- 
 ton Sanders and Harrison Post. In deep appreciation of 
 what they have done I desire here to express my sincere 
 
 obligations.

RINTERS and publishers have to earn their 
 living like other men andneitherthe one class 
 nor the other has ever been conspicuously over- 
 paid. It may fairly be said, indeed, that both 
 have shewn themselves much more ready to 
 cherish ideals, and to take moderate risks to put them into 
 practice, than the average business man. During the cen- 
 tury (reckoning from the various dates at which printing 
 was introducedinto different countries] in which this ideal- 
 ism was most fruitful the two businesses were generally 
 united, as they were ( save for a few books printed by Mor- 
 ris not at his own risk] in the case of the two presses with 
 which this book is concerned. In the fifteenth century the 
 number of men who took up printing not as a means of 
 gaining a livelihood, but in order that the books which they 
 wished to see published might be printed under their own 
 eyes was very considerable. It was, indeed, to get a book of 
 his own into print and save himself from overmuch copy- 
 ing that Caxton learnt the craft at Cologne and set up his 
 press at Bruges, and it was to print the books which they 
 wished to see printed and not for any gain (they had to rely 
 on CardinalRolin as a patron to help to finance them] that 
 Fichet andHeynlyn set up the first French press, at Paris 
 in the Sorbonne,and summoned craftsmen from Switzer- 
 land to print their books. 
 
 In an article in "Bibliographica* ^ ( III.^^-^^O^An- 
 atole Claudin, despite some remonstrances from his editor, 
 
 C xi l 
 
entitled Picket andHeynlyns venture a private press. The 
 term private in connection with printing usually intro- 
 duces confusion and this, I still think^was an example of 
 its misuse. A press does not become a private press merely 
 because it is lodged in a private building, as the Sor bonne 
 no doubt may technically be reckoned. Printers like other 
 craftsmen, have lived over their workshops and may do so 
 still. For a press to be private a double qualification seems 
 necessary : the books it prints must not be obtainable by any 
 chance pur chaser who offers a price for them and the owner 
 must print for his own pleasure and not work for hire for 
 other people. Books may be printed for private circula- 
 tion at any press, and they may be privately printed by any 
 printer, if he prints them for himself, and not on commis- 
 sion or for sale ; but only presses which do no other work 
 than this can be considered really private,and there have 
 not been many of them. 
 
 Neither the Kelmscott nor the Doves Press was private, 
 as I have ventured to dejine privacy as applied to print- 
 ing. The books of both the one and the other by means of 
 circulars were advertised as offered for sale,andto the best 
 of my belief no good money was ever refused on account of 
 the personal shortcomings of a would-be pur chaser. Mor- 
 ris, moreover, besides atjirst employ ing Messrs. Reeves and 
 Turner to sell his books, published "The Golden Legend" 
 " The Recuyellofthe Historyes of Troy e" " The History of 
 Reynard the Foxe" and" The Book ofVFisdom and Lies" 
 
 "[*] 
 
through Mr. i^uaritch,and other books through the own- 
 ers or renters of the copyrights,vi%.: 'Tennyson s "Maud" 
 through Messrs. Macmillan, Ruskin s " The Nature of 
 Gothic" through Mr. George Allen, and the two volumes 
 of Rossett? s poems through Messrs. Ellis and Elvey. He 
 also printed a special edition ofRossettis "Hand and Soul" 
 for Messrs. W^ay and Williams of Chicago, also a letter 
 of Savonarola s for Mr. Fairfax Murray to give to his 
 friends. He also did, and did most delightfully, some little 
 bits of glorified j obbing work. Thus there are in existence 
 two several forms of invitation to the annual gathering 
 of the Hammersmith Socialist Society, a four-page leaflet 
 for the Ancoats Brother hood, an address to SirLowthian 
 Bell from his work-people, a form of invitation to the un- 
 veiling of a bust of Keats, a slip giving the text of a me- 
 morial tablet to Dr. Thomas Sadler, scholar ship certifi- 
 cates for the Technical Education Board of the L,ondon 
 County Council,anda card for Associates oftheDeaconess 
 Institution for the Diocese of Rochester. For at least some 
 of these Morris was presumably paid, and if any friend 
 on the score of them had chaffed him with being a jobbing 
 printer, lam sure that he would have taken it as a compli- 
 ment to his wholesome freedom from affectation. No doubt 
 if some rash per son had walked into Kelmscott House and 
 asked Morris to give an estimate for printing a book which 
 Morris did not like, that rash per son would have received 
 a short answer. Still the fact remains that if (contrary 
 
to thepr esent writer s opinion] privacy confers any special 
 distinction on a press, the Kelmscott Press must be held to 
 have forfeited this distinction on two grounds, sales to the 
 public and working f or hire,and the Doves Press on that 
 of its sales. 
 
 The real virtue in both printing and publishing lies not 
 in privacy ', but in the vision of an ideal and its attain- 
 ment ^despite of difficulties and, it may be,pecuniary loss ; 
 and this virtue is visible in every book of both these presses, 
 whether we regard them on their publishing side, or typo- 
 graphically. Both alike printed the books which their own- 
 ers thought ought to be printed and none others (though 
 perhaps now and again Morris was content to see a book 
 through the eyes of his friend, Mr. F. S. Ellis] and both 
 printers alike printed them in what they considered the 
 best manner and, once again, in none other. 
 
 On the publishing side disinterested adventure has never 
 wholly died out, though after the first century of printing 
 ( as dejined above] it became much less common. The great 
 scholar printers of the sixteenth century, Aldus Manutius 
 and his successors and the Estiennes, found few andunad- 
 venturous followers, and the private patrons of printing, 
 who relieved a printer of any fear of loss if he printed a book 
 they liked, also became rarer. In England, where every- 
 thing tended to happen a little later than on the continent, 
 John Day and other careful printers found a good friend 
 inArchbishopParkerandrepaidhim with excellent work. 
 
 [xiv] 
 
Some forty years later Sir Henry Savile hired a London 
 printer to come to work for him at Eton in producing a 
 Jine edition of the works of Saint Chrysostom,the first im- 
 portant contribution to scholar ship published in England. 
 Later in the seventeenth century Archbishop Laud, Lord 
 Clarendon, and Bishop Fell all helped the Oxford Uni- 
 versity Press and thus laid the foundations from which 
 it has risen to the position,which I think may be claimed 
 for it, of the premier press of the world, a position nobly 
 consolidated in the last forty years by its production of the 
 great Oxford English dictionary. But there have been 
 few imitators of the example thus set, and this not merely 
 in England but in any country, even in the United States, 
 where the wealth which in England is too often mainly 
 devoted to founding a family is so munificent in its bene- 
 factions to education. This is a pity, as the work of a great 
 press, not tied down to getting back its capital (with or 
 without interest, in whole or in part] in too short a period, 
 is in its own way as far-reaching as that of a great uni- 
 versity. Indeed to train men as scholars and then to leave 
 it impossible for them to get the results of their scholarship 
 into print is the climax of the educational thoughtlessness 
 which too lightly equips men and women for activities they 
 are never likely to have a chance of exercising, however 
 great their capacity. 
 
 The dying out of patrons of the press was to some extent 
 made good by the development of the system of private pat- 
 
 [XV] 
 
ronage of individual authors^ a system fraught with hu- 
 miliation to the patronized and indirectly injurious to 
 every author trying to make a living by his pen , but which 
 lasted till the very end of the eighteenth century. IFith 
 Minsheu s "Ductorin Linguas: the Guide to the Tongues" 
 oj l6lj ', we have thejirst example of the diffused patron- 
 age of the subscription edition^ of which persons likely to 
 be interested^or willing to help the author ^ are invited to 
 pledge themselves to take one or more copies when published^ 
 and frequently to pay for them^ wholly or in part^ in ad- 
 vance^mostly with the inducement of a promise that their 
 names shall be found printed in the volume when it ap- 
 pears. Subscription books are still with us ^though they play 
 a much less prominent part in literary life than they did 
 when Dryden s" Virgil" Prior s" Poems on Several Oc- 
 casions" and the Edinburgh edition of Burns were used 
 as the means of presenting handsome testimonials to their 
 authors. As regards some classes of more or less learned 
 works the place of subscription editions has been taken by 
 publishing societies , the members of which mostly accept a 
 certain number of books which they do not want as a condi- 
 tion of obtaining those which they do. By such expedients 
 any book which two or three hundred per sons are conscious 
 ofwanting^which some one else is willing and able to pro- 
 duce^ and which will cost not much more than jive hun- 
 dred pounds for print and paper ^stands a very fair chance 
 nowadays of coming into existence. But the machinery 
 
 [xvi] 
 
is very cumbrous and the results seldom strikingly good. 
 W^illiam Morris ^ when he desired to print in the way he 
 thought best some half hundred books by himself or by au- 
 thors he admired^ had recourse to none of these shifts. He 
 was used to managing a business and had some capital 
 at his command and the well-founded self-confidence of a 
 great craftsman^ and so he started printing in the belief 
 that there would be enough book-lovers who would share 
 his tastes to protect his enterprise from disaster. In case 
 anyone should think that the enterprise was easy^ it is in- 
 teresting to remember that Ruskin had preceded Morris 
 in publishing his own books ^ and a few other -s, in the style 
 he thought good and had made but a poor success of his es- 
 says in book-production. Ruskin was a critic rather than a 
 craftsman^and though hepreached beautifully 'about books 
 he could not have had much feeling for them^as books , or he 
 would not have mutilated his thirteenth century Beaupre 
 Antiphoner ( despite its pretty appeal to future possessors 
 to take good care of it] and similar treasures by cutting out 
 leaves from them to give away. When he caused his own 
 works to beprintedunderhis supervision in the ^seventies of 
 the last century his lack of feeling for book-craft betrayed it- 
 self in margins wrongly distributed^ a type-page seamed 
 with excessivespacesbetween thelinesjitle-pageswhichtease 
 the eyes by their lack of concentration andrestfulness^ and 
 a binding in full purple calf^now usually found scratched^ 
 rubbed^andpeeling^and faded to an ugly bluish gray. 
 
 [ xvii ] 
 
Morris could not have made such mistakes as those in 
 which Ruskin acquiesced^because he was not only a great 
 craftsman but an expert, trained not to accept any modern 
 standards ofbookwork without testing them by those set up 
 by the old books he loved^andtoowaryto use materials with- 
 out making sure that they were sound. It is only fair, how- 
 ever, to remember that he had from thejirst the advantage 
 of the technical advice of Mr. Emery Walker, whose part 
 in the development of Jine print ing in England can hardly 
 beover-emphasi%ed.lt is indeed from Mr. Walker s article 
 on printing in the Catalogue of thejirst Arts and Crafts 
 Exhibition, held at the "New Gallery" in the autumn of 
 1 888, that the whole development must be dated. It is true 
 that long before this, so Mr. S. C. Cocker ell tells us in his 
 "Short History and Description of the Kelmscott Press" 
 (appended to Morrises own "Note" on the Press), Morris 
 had planned,illustrated,and decorated editions of two of 
 his own works, but without bringing them to the point of 
 appearance. Mr. Cocker ell writes: 
 
 "As early as 1866 an edition of' The Earthly Paradise' was pro- 
 jected, which was to have been a folio in double columns, profusely illus- 
 trated by Sir Edward Burne- Jones, and typographically superior to 
 the books of that time. The designs for the stories of' Cupid and Psyche,' 
 'Pygmalion and the Image] the ' Ring given to Venus,' and the 'Hill 
 of Venus J were finished, and forty-four of those for 'Cupid and Psyche* 
 were engraved on wood in line somewhat in the manner of the early Ger- 
 man masters. About thirty -five of the blocks were executed by William 
 Morris himself . . . . Specimen pages were set up in C ax ton type and in 
 the Chiswick Press type afterwards used in the 'House of the Wolfing*] 
 
 [ xviii ] 
 
but for various reasons the project 'went no further. Four or five years 
 later there was a plan for an illustrated edition of 'Love is Enough ' 
 for which two initial Us and seven side ornaments were drawn and 
 engraved by William Morris. Another marginal ornament was en- 
 graved by him from a design by Sir E. Burne- Jones, who also drew 
 a picture for the frontispiece, which has now been engraved by W. H. 
 Hooper for the final page of the Kelmscott Press edition of the work. 
 These side ornaments are more delicate than any that were designed for 
 the Kelmscott Press, but they shew that when the Press was started 
 the idea of reviving some of the decorative features of the earliest printed 
 books had been long in the Founder 's mind." 
 
 It has not been my good fortune to see the specimen pages 
 of" The Earthly Paradise ' ' in C ax ton andChiswick Press 
 types of which Mr. Cocker ell writes. If copies of them exist 
 it would be interesting to know whether Morris in them 
 kept wholly clear of the bad contemporary influences to 
 which Ruskin succumbed. That any work he did would 
 have been "typographically superior to the books of that 
 time" goes without saying. But the difficulty of breaking 
 away from the tyranny of accustomed forms isvery great* 
 and it would be surprising if Morris gained his freedom 
 at a bound. During the busy years which separated early 
 experiments from performance he hadnot only studiedjine 
 manuscripts but had written them himself , and in 1 8 88 
 
 * After the success of the Kelmscott books I the points in which individual characters dif- 
 
 had a curious proof of this in the behaviour of feredfrom the types to which the enquirers were 
 
 a little stream of would-be fine printers who used would be picked out one after the other as 
 
 came to me at the British Museum asking to blots which it would be well to eliminate. The 
 
 be shewn fifteenth century types which could be enquirers seemed to desire that the whole should 
 
 used as models for new founts. The result was be differ ent,whileallthe component parts should 
 
 almost invariably the same. The general effect be assimilated to the types to which they were 
 
 of the old pages was warmly admired, and then accustomed. 
 
 [xix] 
 
was beginning to buy the specimens of fifteenth century 
 printing and book-decoration in which he found useful 
 suggestions, rather than models ', when he came to print. 
 
 The first results of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition of 
 1 88 8, and of the communings with Mr. Walker to which 
 it gave rise, were three new editions: ( 1 ) Morris's " The 
 House of the Wolfings" in the special type "modelled on an 
 old Basel fount" which had been used for one of the speci- 
 men pages of the proposed edition of "The Earthly Para- 
 dise" in 1866; (2) "The Roots of the Mountains" (the 
 finest of Morris"* s prose romances] in the same type,with 
 some small improvements; (3) the translation of the 
 "Gunnlaug Saga" in a type imitated from one of C ax- 
 ton s founts ^with spaces left, in Caxton's manner, for the 
 capital initials to be supplied by hand. All these were 
 printed at the Chiswick Press and represented a substan- 
 tial advance on the best nineteenth century work that had 
 yet been done; but Morris was now determined to have a 
 press of his own and though unable to persuade Mr. Walker 
 to go into partnership with him as a printer, was sure of 
 his enthusiastic support. 
 
 Morris did not print all the books he wished to print. A 
 projectedFroissartandaprojectedShakespearewerefrus- 
 tratedbyhis death and at an ear Her stage a proposal to re- 
 print the fifteenth century "Lives of the Fathers" (" Vitas 
 Patrum" as book-lovers call them, with an affectionate 
 retention of the accusative case, which, like the genitive, 
 
 [XX] ' . 
 
sometimes makes an ungrammatical appearance in me- 
 dieval titles] elicited so few promises of support that it was 
 abandoned. It is probable, too, that of the fifty -three books 
 which were ultimately placed to his credit many were out- 
 side any programme with which he started. But the books 
 which he printed in those wonderful six years of work fall 
 into a few fairly well defined classes, and we must think of 
 him primarily as a lover of poems and romances and old 
 chronicles, who designed types and ornaments to fit the books 
 he wanted to print. Many of his imitators searched first for 
 a fine type and then looked about for books to print with it. 
 But Morris was impelled to print, as C ax ton was impelled, 
 by the desire to get definite books set up in type of his own 
 making. Caxton,indeed,hadanticipatedmany of Morris's 
 tastes and something of his temper, but was very unlike 
 him as a craftsman ! 
 
 Of the fifty-three books issued from the Kelmscott Press 
 twenty-two were written or translated by Morris himself; 
 five were reprints of books first printed by C ax ton; the 
 splendid Chaucer and its appendix, " The Floure and the 
 Leafe" and other Chauceriana, with the three-verse ro- 
 mances from the Thornton manuscript,makeupfivemore; 
 then we have two Latin devotional books ("P salmi Peni- 
 tentiales" and "Laudes Beat aeMariae Virginis"}; eight 
 "modern " books with the choosing as well as the editing 
 of which Mr. F. S. Ellis probably had a good deal to do 
 (Cavendish ' s "Life of Wolsey" Robinson s translation 
 
 [xxi] 
 
of More s " Utopia" Spencer' s "ShepheardesKalendar" 
 Shakespeare' s "Poems and Sonnets "selections from Her- 
 rick, selections from Coleridge, the poems of Keats, and a 
 Shelley in three volumes] ; another eight books connected 
 with other friends ( Rossetti' s "Poems" and "Hand and 
 Soul" 'Tennyson s "Maud" Ruskin s"Natureof Gothic" 
 Swinburne' s "At a lant a in C a ly don " Blunt' s" Love Ly- 
 rics" Mackail' s "Biblia Innocentium" and the letter of 
 SavonarolaprintedforMr. Fairfax Murray. These make 
 up the half century, withLady W^ilde' s translation of"Si- 
 donia the Sorceress" Oliver Wardrop' s translation of the 
 Georgian stories called" The Book of Wisdom and Lies" 
 and the two trial pages ofFroissart's " Chronicles" as the 
 odd three. 
 
 As was natural, Morris took it for granted that he must 
 start with a Roman type, andhisjirst seven books were all 
 printed in this, including two which,according to a scheme 
 he seems afterwards to have worked out, should have been 
 in small Gothic. These are Caxton s "Golden Legend" 
 from which the Roman type was rather inappropriately 
 dubbed "Golden" and Morris's own prose romance,"The 
 Story of the Glittering Plain" thejirst book from the 
 Press. If^ith these two exceptions books with old subjects, 
 or written before the close of the fifteenth century, were 
 printed in Gothic types, the sizes from small quarto to 
 sexto-decimo, with the double columned folios of Chaucer 
 and the intended Froissart, in small Gothic ("Chaucer" 
 
type], and in larger Gothic ten large quartos, vi%.: " 'The 
 Recuyell of the History es of Troye" (whence the type s 
 name, " Troy " type '), Caxton s "Reynard the Foxe" C ax- 
 ton s " Godefrey of Eoloyne" the second edition of" The 
 Story of the Glittering Plain 1 with Walter Crane s illus- 
 trations ^ Swinburne s "Atalanta in Calydon" Morris } s 
 own version of "Beowulf" his "Life and Death of Ja- 
 son" the "L,audesBeataeMariaeVirginis" "The Flour e 
 and the Leafe" and "Love is Enough" All the modern 
 books , including Morrises "Poems by the Way" " The De- 
 fence ofGuenevere and other poems" and "The Earthly 
 Paradise" are in Roman type; his prose romances (after 
 thejirst edition of "The Glittering Plain" } in Chaucer 
 type. It is interesting to note that Morris used his Troy type 
 for the two classical subjects, "Atalanta in Calydon" and 
 "yason" Perhaps he took the medieval view of Greek 
 legend and classed them roughly with the romances. 
 
 It will be seen that Morris s three types served for all, 
 or very nearly all, his needs. He talked at times of having 
 the Golden type cut in a larger size, and to have done this 
 would have enabled him to give to some of his modern books 
 the dignity of large quarto, and have supplied a conve- 
 nient type for headings. But he got on very well with his 
 three types and his best English successors have been eco- 
 nomically content with one apiece. 
 
 As to the technical history of these types there is nothing 
 much to add to Mr. Cocker ell ' s notes on t hem, save per - 
 
 [ xxiii ] 
 
haps to emphasize the fact that Morris did not imitate his 
 fifteenth century models at all closely. It must be said also 
 that he was singularly fortunate in his punch-cutter, Mr. 
 Prince. At the risk of perhaps seeming fanciful I am im- 
 pelled to add that the most remarkable feature of all three 
 types , in my personal experience of them, is that they are not 
 only beautiful but (to use the best word I can hit on] de- 
 lightfully "friendly" "The fact may be disguised from those 
 who are so unaccustomed to Gothic andBlack-letter char- 
 acters of any kind that any fount of such type inevitably 
 seems to them strange and for ma I. But to those who are at 
 all used to old types Morris's Gothic, whether in its smaller 
 size or larger, Chaucer or Troy, must surely seem jollier 
 and more delightful even than the old types they love best, 
 but (to use the other word which is the best I can find to 
 express my meaning) not at all " ceremonial" 
 
 Morris did not print books as so many testimonials to 
 the respect or reverence in which he regarded them or their 
 authors. He printed long books, many of them story hooks 
 which he lovedreading himself and which he wanted other 
 people to have the pleasure of reading in jolly editions. 
 The fifty-three books he printed, or planned to print, are 
 a II eminently readable. There are still some of them I have 
 not read, but I look forward to a leisure time in which I 
 shall make good my omissions, though it is possible I may 
 find my self wishing that Mr. F. S. Ellis had been content 
 with a single volume of the best of Shelley (instead of three 
 
 [ xxiv ] 
 
volumes of all his poems ), as he was content with single 
 volumes ofHerrick and Coleridge. But, with this one ex- 
 ception^ to anyone who cares at all for poetry and romance 
 the Kelmscott books are extraordinarily attractive, and 
 the beautiful types, while they inspire a sub-conscious 
 pleasure, do not divert my attention from the text. 
 
 On the other hand the types which I class as ceremonial, 
 the finest of which, the Jinest ceremonial type ever cut, is 
 the perfected Jenson of the Doves Press, do divert my 
 attention. It is very important to have good ceremonial 
 types. It is very important to have a genius for ceremonial 
 such as is possessed by most other European nations, but 
 does not thrive easily in the atmosphere of the British 
 Isles. But ceremony, though quite admirable in its place 
 and season, is apt to become frigid if too prolonged, and I 
 must confess to being unable to read more than twenty or 
 thirty pages in the Doves Press type without feeling per- 
 ceptibly chilled. It was a stroke of genius on the part of 
 Messrs. JFalker and Sander son, or whichever of them first 
 had the idea, to dissipate this frigidity, with the daring 
 and magnificently successful red capitals which werejirst 
 used, if I am not mistaken, in their reprint of Milton s 
 " Paradise Lost" W^ith Morris 1 s types red ink is almost 
 a superfluity : they are so rich and hospitable themselves 
 that red adds little to them, is sometimes indeed mainly use- 
 ful, not in heightening the glow of a page, but in moder- 
 ating it, an effect still more noticeable in the case of the blue 
 
 [ XXV ] 
 
capitals which appear in the "LaudesBeataeMariae Vir- 
 ginis" and "Love is Enough" 
 
 The splendour of Morris's borders and large initial cap- 
 itals,more especially of the capitals in the Chaucer which 
 contain a whole word, is too self-evident for a plain man 
 to wish to enlarge on it. Morris's o Id friend, Dr. F.J. Fur - 
 nivall,usedto regret that Morris, who was pre-eminently 
 a "thirteenth century man" had not followed thirteenth 
 century models in his book building and invented lighter 
 and gayer ornaments. It is true that Morris's decoration 
 is, now and again, too black and massive for his Golden 
 type and that Mr. Jf^H. Hooper s renderings of the deli- 
 cate drawings of Sir Edward Burne-J ones tend at times 
 to be over-heavy. But Morris had the need for harmoniz- 
 ing his capitals and borders with the tones of his different 
 types constantly in his mind, and he was certainly wise in 
 not attempting to translate thirteenth century illumina- 
 tions, with their glory of varied colour, into the black and 
 white (orblack,white,andred] of a printed book. He was 
 content to set himself to match thejifteenth century printers 
 and woodcutters and he beat them easily on their own 
 ground, just as a Doves Press book easily and decisively 
 excels any that Nicolasjenson ever printed. Apart from 
 thecharm that comes from freshness andexperiment, apart 
 also from the profusion of capitals hand-painted in blue 
 and red (the more ambitiously coloured letters seldom at- 
 tain the standard of good manuscripts] that light up so 
 
 [ xxvi ] 
 
many of the German books and a few others in the first 
 
 thirty or forty years of printing, it is not in the books of the 
 
 fifteenth century it self, but in those of these two presses that 
 
 we see fifteenth century ideals carried to full 'attainment. 
 
 Most readers are very conservative as to the form of the 
 books they use.This conservatism didnotfailto assert itself 
 in respect of Morris s revolution in the ideals of modern 
 printing,buthissuccesswas both quick and great. During 
 his six years work, books came from his press at the rate of 
 seven a year, some in more than one volume. "The pace was 
 inconveniently fast for his less wealthy disciples, but it was 
 wonderfully exciting to have a new Kelmscott book ap- 
 pearing every other month or of tener, and Morris died at 
 the very height of his success, when the great Chaucer was 
 being acclaimed for what it is, the finest book in its style 
 that has ever been printed. 
 
 Morris s success naturally attracted imitators and put 
 new heart, and also new ideas, into the few adventurers 
 who were already experimenting with print and paper. 
 "The story of these other presses is well told and well illus- 
 trated in one of the Riccardi Press books, " *The Revival 
 of Printing" a bibliographical catalogue of works issued 
 by the chief modern English presses, with an introduction 
 by Robert Steele (1912). Herbert Home and Professor 
 Selwyn Image had been experimenting in the " Century 
 Guild Hobbyhorse " and had been already helped to get 
 closer to their ideals by Mr. Emery Walker, who has helped 
 
 [ xxvii ] 
 
most of those who have experimented with any success in 
 printing during the last thirty years. Mr. Home, a slow, 
 fastidious worker ', with most admirable good taste and 
 much patient skill, subsequently produced three Roman 
 founts of real beauty, a Montallegro type for Mr. Up- 
 dike s Merry mount Press at Boston ( 1 904.}, the Florence 
 type for Messrs. Chatto and IVindus (ipoy), the Ric- 
 cardi type for the Riccardi Press (ipop) . Professor Sel- 
 wyn Image designed a Greek type for Messrs. Macmillan, 
 not wholly successful, but in a style which should have 
 secured for it a better welcome than it received. Another 
 enthusiast, already at work when Morris started, Mr. 
 Charles Ricketts, had been content to use Caslon types at 
 his Vale Press, but in 1896 designed an excellent round 
 Roman, called after his press, Vale type, with which he 
 printed quite a long series of pleasantly decorated books. 
 He subsequently produced an "Avon" Roman type (also 
 good], and a Kings type in which minuscule and majus- 
 cule forms are mixed as in L,atin half-uncials, but with a 
 good deal less harmony between them than the sixth-cen- 
 tury scribes had enforced. Mr. St.^ohn Hornby, after ex- 
 periments with Caslon and Fell types became possessed 
 (with the help of Messrs. Emery IValker and S. C. Cock- 
 er ell and of Morris s punch-cutter, Mr. Prince] of a most 
 beautiful Gothic fount modeled on the Subiaco type of 
 Sweynheym and Pannartx. This had been much beloved 
 by Morris, who himself had tried to adapt it, but could 
 
 [ xxviii ] 
 
not please himself. Beginning with a delightful edition of 
 Dante s "Inferno" in 1902, Mr. Hornby has printed in 
 this type at his Ashendene Press a series of charming and 
 stately books, including a complete Dante, which demand 
 a dissertation to themselves. Robert Proctor ^again with 
 the help of Mr. Weather and Mr. Prince, based on an in- 
 complete Greek fount (lacking some majuscules] used for 
 the New Testament in the Complutensian Polyglott his 
 Otter type, incomparably the Jinest Greek fount yet de- 
 signed, but (alas) only saw it himself in a trial sheet of 
 majuscules and in proofs of an "Oresteia" which was com- 
 pleted and issued after his death in 1904.. 
 
 As to the effect of Morris's example in the United States, 
 I write as one afar off and fear to venture on dates. Mr. 
 Updike, I think, was the earliest American experimenter 
 in the jield and soon developed the jine electicism and craft- 
 mans/lip which lend distinction to all the work of his 
 Merry mount Press. Of Mr. Bruce Rogers, I have already 
 written more than once as one of the Jinest printers who 
 have ever lived, and with a very special gift for working, 
 in the style of any country or period in which the book to 
 be reprinted originally belonged, and get ting at the heart 
 of that style. Both Mr. Updike and Mr. Rogers take their 
 ideals rather from the best work after I ^OO than from that 
 ofthejirst printers. Mr. Rogers, indeed, in the latest ex- 
 amples of his printing I have seen, has eclipsed Robert Es- 
 tienne on his own ground, much as the Doves Press has 
 
 [ xxix ] 
 
eclipsed Nicolas Jenson. But while their ideals thus differ 
 from those of Morris, there can be little doubt that his suc- 
 cess created their opportunity. A third American printer 
 whose work I know and admire , Mr. Clarke Conwell, at 
 his ILlston Press at New Rochelle, produced some charm- 
 ing books both in Roman and Black-letter, alike unpreten- 
 tious and very pleasant to read, and, I should think,would 
 probably be content to reckon himself a disciple of Morris. 
 
 The best of the presses here mentioned have achieved no- 
 table successes and I think it is fair to claim that none of 
 them would have done so, few of them, indeed, would have 
 come into existence,hadnot Morris shown what might yet 
 be made of print ing and also proved that there was a suf- 
 jicient mar ket f or jinely printed books for their production, 
 at least on a small scale, to be commercially possible. 
 
 Much was thus done by others on both sides of the Atlan- 
 tic to carry out the ideals of Jine printing to which Morris 
 had opened the eyes of book-lovers ; yet in a very special 
 sense the Doves Press which began work in 1901, five 
 years after his death, was the true heir of his invention. 
 Most of the other English experimenters have tried to do 
 what Morris did, and have done it, sometimes admirably 
 well, sometimes badly. Messrs. W^alker and Sanderson 
 showed themselves strong enough to carry out Morris ' s 
 ideals on independent lines; they supplement his work 
 rather than compete with it. They showed their strength 
 at the outset by recognizing their limitations. They thought 
 
 xxx 
 
that they could not themselves produce^ or find any one else 
 to produce ) ornament as good as Morris s and, therefore^ 
 they 'began by 'discarding ornament altogether. In the same 
 spirit^ instead of essaying the difficult task of evolving a 
 homogeneous type out of hints and impressions gainedfrom 
 studying sever a I fifteenth century models , they took a sin- 
 gle type, the Roman fount usedbyNicolasJenson^ the first 
 in craftsmanship^ hough not in time of the early Venetian 
 pr inter S) and gave this a perfection of form such asjenson 
 was never able to attain^just as under Mr. Walker s in- 
 fluence and with Mr. Prince as their punch-cut ter, Mr. 
 St. John Hornby and Mr. Proctor respectively developed 
 the Subiaco Gothic and the Complutensian Greek into 
 founts which far surpassed their respective originals. Of 
 the splendid success of the introduction of the daring red 
 capitals which make the first two pages of their text of 
 "Paradise Lost" one of the most effective "openings" in all 
 book-craft, something has already been said. With a sin- 
 gle type and no other decoration than red printing and 
 occasionally red capitals, the books are classic in their sim- 
 plicity and each one (with the possible exception of the five 
 volume Bible ^ a splendid book, which yet hardly justifies 
 the endless pains bestowed on it] is, per haps, primarily to 
 be looked on as a testimonial to some great writer. Thus in 
 his "Catalogue Raisonne" of 1 908, Mr. Cobden- San- 
 der son writes: 
 
 " To-day there is an immense reproduction in an admirable cheap form, 
 
 [ xxxi ] 
 
of all Books which , in any language, have stood the test of time. But such 
 reproduction is not a substitute for the more monumental production of 
 the same works, and whether by the Doves Press or some other press or 
 presses, such monumental production, expressive of man's admiration, 
 is a legitimate ambition and a public duty. Great thoughts deserve, and 
 demand, a great setting, whether in building, sculpture, ceremonial or 
 otherwise; and the great works of literature have again and again to 
 be set forth informs suitable to their magnitude. And this it is the busi- 
 ness of the Printing Press to undertake and achieve" 
 
 The ideal here set forth is a worthy one, worthily ex- 
 pressed." Such monumentalproduction,expressive of mans 
 admiration, />" as Mr. Sanderson asserts, "a legitimate 
 ambition and a public duty" and for this high ceremonial 
 in book-form it is difficult to conceive any type morejitted 
 in its graceful and clean-cut strength than that which has 
 been usedforjlawless tributes of reverence to Shakespeare, 
 Milton and Goethe, to Wordsworth, Tennyson and Brown- 
 ing, ILmerson, Carlyle and Ruskin, William Caxton and 
 William Morris. 
 
 What has been the result on others of Morris s six years 
 adventure in the craft of printing? Perhaps the greatest 
 of all is that many book-lovers have been educated by his 
 Kelmscott books to appreciate good print ing when it is of- 
 fered them, and to be willing to pay for it, even a little 
 more they can easily afford. To bring this about, as Morris 
 did for the book-lovers of his own day was, at least for a 
 time, to make the publishing of fine books much easier, and 
 thus, as I have suggested, all the other essayists in fine 
 
 [ xxxii ] 
 
printing who were at work within a few years after Mor- 
 ris's death profited by his enterprise. He postponed the need 
 fora Society for the Encouragement of Fine Printing and 
 very much reduced and simplified the work which such a 
 society should under take. There is no reason in societies be- 
 ing formed to take up work which can be done without their 
 aid, and Morris who, though his own work went largely 
 unremunerated^was liberal in his payment of other s^ led 
 experimenters to hope that a press for fine printing could 
 at least be made to pay its expenses^ and leave a little over 
 for its owner. By inspiring this hope Morris called new 
 presses into existence and heartened those men who were 
 already at work to acquire new types and make bolder ex- 
 periments. 
 
 Something has already been said as to those on both sides 
 of the Channel whom his example thus stimulated. In Eng- 
 land, a quarter of a century after Morris s death, Mr. 
 St. John Hornby s Ashendene Press, which seems to go 
 from strength to strength's the only one founded under the 
 Kelmscott influence which is still active. On the other hand 
 quite a number of young commercial printers are doing 
 admirable work which would have been impossible thir- 
 ty years ago, and the standard attained in the technical 
 schools is almost tragically high, tragically, because until 
 Morris's ideals arestill further popularized thelads, when 
 they become journey men, are of ten given no chance to print 
 as well as they can. In the United States Mr. Berkeley 
 
 [ xxxiii ] 
 
Updike is still at work and Mr. Bruce Rogers, who in a 
 'visit to England during the W^ar set a new standard at 
 the Cambridge University Press, is in his prime, a nat- 
 ional asset somewhat imperfectly utilized. Moreover, as 
 in England, there are other jirms which, though mainly 
 occupied in doing the work that comes along, do it all the 
 better because William Morris for the last six years of his 
 life was a master of their craft. 
 
 Passing from this spiritual influence to things which can 
 be tested and measured there aref our points in which Mor- 
 ris 1 s practice can definitely be taken as a guide and has to 
 a considerable (though insufficient] extent, been so taken. 
 I. GOOD INK. At the outset the importance of this was 
 very imperfectly understood by his early disciples. They 
 saw that any page printed by Morris looked rich and black, 
 instead of thin and gray, and they tried to attain this ef- 
 fect by using types with thick faces and crowding on ink, 
 thus sacrificing all delicacy of outline. It took them some 
 time to realize that whereas they were paying (in Eng- 
 land] a few shillings a pound for ink, Morris was pay ing 
 fifteen, and that with good ink there was no need for thick 
 faced types and heavy inking. "The importance of good ink 
 is now better appreciated, but anyone who is having a book 
 printed for him will still be wise to bind hi sprinter to pay 
 the market price for a really good ink. If this price is paid, 
 there will be less need to take precautions against over 
 inking. 
 
 [ xxxiv ] 
 
2. GOOD SPACING. In a printed page there are spaces be- 
 tween letter and letter (caused by the "body" of the type 
 being larger than the "f ace" ], between word and word, 
 and between line and line. Morris minimized all three. 
 His practice has been challenged by goodpr inter sand (on 
 the score of easier legibility] a case can be argued for more 
 spacing than he allowed. But no spacing can be right 
 which is uneven and the coincidence ofspacesbetween words 
 coming one under the other on several successive lines ', so 
 as to form what printers call a "river" of white, is one of 
 the greatest faults that can disfigure a printed page. 
 
 3 . THE PLACING OF CAPITALS. Every large initial letter 
 (properly called a capital,as beginning a " capitulum" or 
 chapter] ought to range exactly with a given number of 
 lines of the type with which it is used. If it cannot be so 
 
 fitted, it is better to use no ornamental letters at all. The 
 early printers understood this , but their successor *s, when 
 they had capitals in stock, used them with types with which 
 they could not be made to range, so that the capital was 
 separated by a white space from the type beneath it. To 
 match this white beneath the capital the practice grew up 
 of leaving a corresponding white space separating the 
 capital from the type at its side. A "river" was thus 
 formed flowing along two sides of the capital into the sea 
 of the inner margin. Moreover, as it is usual to print the 
 letters completing the word begun by the capital in majus- 
 cules, the first of these majuscules was placed across the 
 
 [ XXXV ] 
 
river to form a "bridge" This "river" and "bridge" ar- 
 rangement, when Morris began to print , was part of the 
 practice even of the best British printers ^though these kept 
 their rivers small \ while the bad printers rejoiced to have 
 them broad. I regret to say that the "river" and "bridge" 
 arrangement may be observed in the placing of the beau- 
 tiful capitals which I persuaded Mr. Laurence Hous- 
 man to design for "Bibliographical but which by my own 
 lack of foresight were not made exactly to jit the type with 
 which they were to be used. 
 
 4.. MARGINS. As to these Morris* s practice was perfect , 
 but it must be admitted that he darkened counsel by quot- 
 ing with apparent approval in his "Note" on the Kelms- 
 cott Press the dictum of "the librarian of one of our most 
 important private libraries" to the effect that "the medi- 
 eval rule was to make a difference of 2O per cent from 
 margin to margin" The librarian in question must have 
 formulated this rule from sadly cropped copies. The pro- 
 portion in Morris" s folios and octavos agrees very closely 
 with the fifteenth century practice^ where this is studied in 
 uncut copies ^and runs: Inner mar gin J ; Upper 9 ; Outer 
 //*; Lower 23 ; whereas "a difference of 2O per cent" 
 would change thesejigures to J z / 2 ; Q; !O 4 / 5 ; IJ. The outer 
 margin which Morris used was thus nearly two and a 
 half times the inner ^ instead of nearly one and a half times 
 as in the prescription he quoted^ and in like manner the 
 
 */ff quartos the outer margin would be 1 8 instead of i^. 
 
 [ xxxvi ] 
 
lower margin is nearly two and a half (not one and a 
 half] times the outer. Moreover ', Morris, like all the best 
 fifteenth century printers adjusted these margins to type 
 pages of equally definite proportions. ^Taking the height of 
 a page as IOO, the height of the type page would be 68 \ or 
 very near it , the upper margin 9, the lower 23. Corre- 
 sponding to a height of IOO, the breadth of the folio or oc- 
 tavo page would be 68 or 6ty (about exactly the height of 
 the type page), the breadth of the type page being 4.5 (in a 
 quarto 4.7) , the inner margin J, the outer IJ (in a quarto 
 1 8}. I have not measured all the Kelmscott margins and 
 they may vary for special reasons (e.g. in order not to 
 break up the stanzas of a poem) but as all the Kelmscott 
 books are more or less of the same degree of "luxury" I 
 think the proportions here given will be found to apply 
 pretty generally. Now for the sake of greater luxury ', 
 though greater luxury is not often advisable, the margins 
 may be allowed to encroach further on the type page by 
 some lOper cent, and if the proportions of inner and outer, 
 upper and lower are observed,thepage will still look well. 
 And if, for the sake of greater economy, instead of the mar- 
 gins encroaching I O per cent on the typepage,the type page 
 is allowed to encroach I O percent on the mar gins, all may 
 still be well, as long as the proportion of the margins is 
 still constant at 7, g, 17, 23 . 
 
 All this may seem a little complicated but the whole doc- 
 trine of margins can be summed up in the simple rule that 
 
 [ xxxvii ] 
 
the height of the type page should be about equal to the 
 breadth of the paper and the breadth of the type page about 
 JO per cent of the height Dinner and upper mar gins bearing 
 to outer and lower ones the proportion of about two to jive. 
 On all these four points here set forth, the use of good ink, 
 careful spacing,the right placing of capita Island the right 
 proportions of margins, definite progress has been made 
 since Morris began to print, and any book- buyer who 
 wishes to honour Morris's memory in a practical way can- 
 not do better than use whatever influence he possesses with 
 book-seller s,publishers,andprinters to pro test against any 
 breach of his practice,which was the practice also of all 
 the old masters of the craft. Moreover if the book-buyer 
 has any money to spare he will put it to a good use by en- 
 couraging on a small or on a large scale the publishers 
 who give printers a chance of doing good work, and dis- 
 couraging those who do not. Of course the publishers de- 
 serve support for the matter of the books they publish as 
 well as for their form, but that is another story, not my 
 
 present concern. 
 
 ALFRED W. POLLARD.

BEGAN printing books with the hope of 
 producing some which would have a def- 
 inite claim to beauty, while at the same 
 time they should be easy to read and 
 should not dazzle the eye, or trouble the 
 intellect of the reader by eccentricity of form in the 
 letters. I have always been a great admirer of the cal- 
 ligraphy of the Middle Ages, & of the earlier printing 
 which tookitsplace. As to the fifteenth-century books, 
 I had noticed that they were always beautiful by force 
 of the mere typography, even without the added or- 
 nament, with which many of them are so lavishly sup- 
 plied. And it was the essence of my undertaking to 
 produce books which it would be a pleasure to look 
 upon as pieces of printing and arrangement of type. 
 Lookingat my adventure from this point of view then, 
 I found I had to consider chiefly the following things: 
 the paper, the form of the type, the relative spacing 
 of the letters, the words, and the lines; and lastly the 
 position of the printed matter on the page. 
 
 It was a matter of course that I should consider it 
 necessary that the paper should be hand-made, both 
 for the sake of durability and appearance. It would 
 be a very false economy to stint in the quality of the 
 paper as to price: so I had only to think about the kind 
 of hand-made paper. On this head I came to two con- 
 clusions : i st, that the paper must be wholly of linen 
 
 [3] 
 
(most hand-made papers are of cotton today"), and 
 must be quite 'hard,' i. e., thoroughly well sized ; and 
 2 nd, that, though it must be 'laid' and not 'wove' (i.e., 
 made on a mould made of obvious wires"), the lines 
 caused by the wires of the mould must not be too 
 strong, so as to give a ribbed appearance. I found that 
 on these points I was at one with the practice of the 
 papermakers of the fifteenth century; so I took as my 
 model a Bolognese paper of about 1473. My friend 
 Mr. Batchelor, of Little Chart, Kent, carried out my 
 views very satisfactorily,& produced from the first the 
 excellent paper which I still use. 
 
 Next as to type. By instinct rather than by conscious 
 thinking it over, I began by getting myself a fount of 
 Roman type. And here what I wanted was letter pure 
 inform; severe,without needless excrescences; solid, 
 without the thickening and thinning of the line,which 
 is the essential fault of the ordinary modern type,and 
 which makes it difficult to read; and not compressed 
 laterally, as all later type has grown to be owing to 
 commercial exigencies. There was only one source 
 from which to take examples of this perfected Roman 
 type,to wit, the works of the great Venetian printers of 
 the fifteenth century, of whom Nicholas Jenson pro- 
 duced the completest & most Roman characters from 
 1470 to 1476. This type I studied with much care, 
 getting it photographed to a big scale, & drawing it 
 
 [4] 
 
over many times before I began designing my own let- 
 ter; so that though I think I mastered the essence of 
 it, I did not copy it servilely; in fact, my Roman type, 
 especially in the lower case, tends rather more to the 
 Gothic than does Jenson's. 
 
 After a while I felt that I must have a Gothic as well 
 as a Roman fount; and herein the task I set myself 
 was to redeem the Gothic character from the charge 
 of unreadablenesswhichis commonly brought against 
 it. And I felt that this charge could not be reasonably 
 brought against the types of the first two decades of 
 printing: that Schoeffer at Mainz, Mentelin at Stras- 
 burg, and Gunther Zainer at Augsburg, avoided the 
 spiky ends and undue compression which lay some of 
 the later type open to the above charge. Only the ear- 
 lier printers (naturally following therein the practice 
 of their predecessors the scribes) were very liberal of 
 contractions,andusedan excess of < tied' letters,which, 
 by the way,are very useful to the compositor. So I en- 
 tirely eschewed contractions, except for the <&,' and 
 had very few tied letters, in fact none but the abso- 
 lutely necessary ones. Keepingmy end steadily in view, 
 I designed a black-letter type which I think I may 
 claim to be as readable as a Roman one, and to say 
 the truth I prefer it to the Roman. This type is of the 
 size called Great Primer (the Roman type is of < Eng- 
 lish' size); but later on I was driven by the necessities 
 
 [s] 
 
of the Chaucer (a double-columned book") to get a 
 smaller Gothic type of Pica size. 
 
 The punches for all these types,! may mention,were 
 cut for me with great intelligence and skill by Mr. E. 
 P. Prince, and render my designs most satisfactorily. 
 
 Now as to the spacing: First, the < face' of the letter 
 should be as nearly conterminous with the <body' as 
 possible, so as to avoid undue whites between the let- 
 ters. Next,the lateral spaces between the words should 
 be (a) no more than is necessary to distinguish clearly 
 the division into words, and (b) should be as nearly 
 equal as possible. Modern printers, even the best, pay 
 very little heed to these two essentials of seemly com- 
 position, and the inferior ones run riot in licentious 
 spacing, thereby producing, inter alia, those ugly riv- 
 ers of lines running about the page which are such a 
 blemish to decent printing.Third, the whites between 
 the lines should not be excessive; the modern prac- 
 tice of leading' should be used as little as possible, 
 and never without some definite reason,suchas mark- 
 ing some special piece of printing. The only leading 
 I have allowed myself is in some cases a <thin' lead be- 
 tween the lines of my Gothic pica type : in the Chaucer 
 and the double-columned books I have used a <hair' 
 lead, and not even this in the 1 6mo books. Lastly, but 
 by no means least, comes the position of the printed 
 matter on the page. This should always leave the in- 
 
 [6] ' 
 
ner margin the narrowest, the top somewhat wider, 
 the outside (fore-edge) wider still, and the bottom 
 widest of all. This rule is never departed from in me- 
 diaeval books, written or printed. Modern printers sys- 
 tematically transgress against it; thus apparently con- 
 tradicting the fact that the unit of a book is not one 
 page, but a pair of pages. A friend, the librarian of one 
 of our most important private libraries, tells me that 
 after careful testing he has come to the conclusion 
 that the mediaeval rule was to make a difference of 2 o 
 per cent, from margin to margin. Now these matters 
 of spacing and position are of the greatest importance 
 in the production of beautiful books; if they are prop- 
 erly considered they will make a bookprinted in quite 
 ordinary type at least decent and pleasant to the eye. 
 The disregard of them will spoil the effect of the best 
 designed type. 
 
 It was only natural that I, a decorator by profession, 
 should attempt to ornament mybooks suitably: about 
 this matter, I will only say that I have always tried to 
 keep in mind the necessity for making my decoration 
 a part of the page of type. I may add that in design- 
 ing the magnificent and inimitable woodcuts which 
 have adorned several of my books, and will above all 
 adorn the Chaucer which is now drawing near com- 
 pletion,my friend Sir Edward Burne-Jones has never 
 lost sight of this important point, so that his work will 
 
 [7] 
 
not only give us a series of most beautiful and imagi- 
 native pictures, but form the most harmonious dec- 
 oration possible to the printed book.

 he had it recut in the size known as pica, calling it the Chaucer type. 
 It was not until the list of December, 1892, that an announcement of 
 the Chaucer as in preparation is made ; in various lists up to December,

 The text of six of the parts begins with a large woodcut initial word, all 
 ofwhich were designed by Morris. The words" Whilom" and"Empty" 
 were unfinished when the death of Morris occurred, so the designs were

 A trial leaf, first printing (recto and verso), before the woodcut borders, 
 large initials, and printing in red had been included. 
 
 It had been the intention of Mr. Morris to issue this work in two vol- 
 umes as a worthy companion for the Chaucer.The plan was finally aban- 
 doned as announced in the prospectus of the " Shepheardes Calender," 
 dated November! 2, 1896. Thirty-four pages were then in type, but no 
 sheet had been printed.The type was broken up on December 24, 1 896, 
 but before that event thirty-two copies of sixteen of these pages were 
 printed and distributed to friends as a memento of Morris. The speci- 
 men pages on vellum were of later inspiration and the initials show dis- 
 tinct differences.

 " MY DEAR FELLOW, 
 
 "A traveller once entered a western hotel in America and went up to the 
 
 clerk in his box (as the custom is in that country) and ordered chicken 
 
 [67] 
 
The Library of William Andrews Clark, Jr. 
 
 for his dinner: the clerk without any trouble in his face, put his hand 
 into his desk, and drew out a derringer, wherewith he covered the new- 
 comer and said in a calm historic voice : Stranger, you will not have 
 chicken, you will have hash. 
 
 " This story you seem to have forgotten. So I will apply it, and say that 
 you will have the Kelmscott books as they come out. In short you will 
 have hash because it would upset me very much if you did not have a 
 share in my'larx.' 
 
 "As to the Olaf Saga, I had forgotten what you had had; chiefly I think 
 because I did not prize the big-paper copies much. They were done in 
 the days of ignorance, before the Kelmscott Press was, though hard on 
 the time when it began. 
 
 "You see as to all these matters I do the books mainly for you and one 
 or two others ; the public does not really care about them a damn which 
 is stale. But I tell you I want you to have them, and finally you shall. 
 Yours affectionately, William Morris."

JHE DOVES PRESSwasfoundedin 1 900 
 to attack the problem of Typography as 
 presented by ordinary Books in the var- 
 ious forms of Prose, Verse, and Dialogue 
 and,keeping always in view the principles 
 laid down in the Book Beautiful, to attempt its solu- 
 tion by the simple arrangement of the whole Book, as 
 a whole, with due regard to its parts and to the emphasis 
 of its capital divisions rather than by the addition & 
 splendour of applied ornament. 
 
 II 
 
 The Books selected for this purpose have been chos- 
 en partly for the sake of the particular typographical 
 problems presented by them,but partly also in view of 
 the second obj eel: of the Press,viz.,to print in asuitable 
 form some of the great literary achievements of man's 
 creative or constructive genius. To-day there is an im- 
 mense reproduction in forms at once admirable & 
 cheap of all books which in any language have stood 
 the test of time. But such reproduction is not a substi- 
 tute for the more monumental production of the same 
 books,and such a production, expressive of man's ad- 
 miration,is a legitimate ambition of the Printing Press 
 & of some Press the imperative duty. 
 
 HI 
 THE ENGLISH BIBLEisasupremeachievement 
 
 [79] 
 
of English Literature, if not of English thought. On 
 theother hand PARADISE LOST-aunique mon- 
 ument of the English language" is a sublime attempt 
 of English Puritanism to "justifie the wayes of God 
 to men." FAUST reopens the eternal debate between 
 the unseen and the seen, the finite & the infinite: and 
 SARTORRESARTUS,EMERSON'SESSAYS,and 
 UNTO THIS LAST are attempts to transform the 
 EVERLASTING NO of scepticism into the EVER- 
 LASTING YEA of affirmation, and amid the inex- 
 plicable and enshrouding mysteries of the infinite 
 of God, of Nature, and of the Soul to set man again 
 at work upon the creation of the Fit, the Seemly, and 
 the Beautiful. MEN & WOMEN and DRAMATIS 
 PERSON AE are poetical presentments of the same 
 positive position. These works together constitute the 
 main argument of the selection. Other like sequences 
 are the POEMS and PLAYS of SHAKESPEARE, 
 preluded by the earlier imagined PERVIGILIUM 
 VENERIS,andthePOEMSofGOETHE,WORDS- 
 WORTH,SHELLEY,& KEATS. 
 
 HUMBOLDT'S COSMOS, which I had intended 
 to print, I have abandoned. It was too great an en- 
 terprise for The Doves Press under present circum- 
 stances. But I have retained the name,COSMOS,in 
 the Catalogue and have affixed to it an asterisk to in- 
 dicate that its place is vacant. In some happier time 
 
 [so] 
 
perhaps, when man is again at peace with man, the 
 COSMOS will be re-imagined and, monumentally 
 printed at some future Press, be placed, as it should 
 be placed, at the front of all human thought and. as- 
 piration. 
 
 IV 
 
 But beyond the immediate purposes of the Press 
 the solution of typographical problems and the mon- 
 umental presentment of some of the literary creations 
 of genius there has always been another and a much 
 greater purpose, of which workmanship achieved in 
 the great fields of literary creation and its incorpora- 
 tion in printed forms may,like other obj eels of crafts- 
 manship, be a Prefatory Note, an Illustration, & an 
 Encouragement the Workmanship of Life in Life 
 itself, and its embodiment in forms of life which shall 
 be as beautiful in life as, in imagination, are the happi- 
 est inventions of imaginative genius. This workman- 
 ship of life in life it was sought to advance, in however 
 slight adegree,and to illustrate in the workmanship of 
 the Press : a workmanship of life than all we can imag- 
 ine immeasurably more important,for immeasurably 
 more important than all that we can imagine is the 
 Reality of Reality, the Reality which is Life. In the be- 
 ginning God created Life, and the Life was with God, 
 and the Life was God. And it is this Life, this Life of 
 each and of all of us,which in the language of the Press 
 
 [81] 
 
we must COMPOSE,and in the language of the Pub- 
 lisher PUBLISH, y 
 
 It was thus that,in printing, and binding, Books, not 
 Books alone were the obj et of the Press, but the cre- 
 ation, as by another hand are created the flowers of 
 the field and of the hedgerows, of something of that 
 Order and of that Beauty which, on the great scale, it 
 is the business of life on the great scale to create; as 
 it has been the business of the unseen on a great scale 
 to create the universe. This creation of life on the great 
 scale ofgreat thingshas been theultimate obj eel: aimed 
 at by similitude in the creation of the small things 
 which have been the creation of the Press. 
 
 VI 
 
 Nor does life on the great scale cease with its crea- 
 tion. But as the creation of books,printed and bound, 
 passes, as a seed for the sowing, into life on the great 
 scale, so shall life on the great scale, 
 
 The Clowd-captTowres, the gorgeous Pallaces, 
 The solemne Temples, the great Globe itself, 
 
 yea,theveryuniverseandallwhichitinherit,becarried 
 over, itself only a seed for the sowing, into infinitude, 
 and, on the tides of eternity, so for ever on, before the 
 ever-expanding gaze of man. 
 
 VII 
 
 In my penultimate farewell in 1913 I said that in 
 
 ' 
 
closing the Press I should devote myself to "far other 
 tasks." In a sense this will be true : but essentially my 
 interests in life and in life's tasks will remain the same, 
 thoughprobablyagreatsilencewillnowtaketheplace 
 of The Doves Press,agreat silence that I may themore 
 intimately listen to and perhaps overhear the voice 
 which indeed is never silent, if seldom listened for or 
 distinguished amid the wild and unintelligible strife 
 whichis man's life to-day the voice which is the aspira- 
 tion of the universe and,in a great silence,is addressed 
 to the soul. In this silence,listening,even now I seem 
 to see arise on the far horizon of life's long vigil the 
 shining summits of a great new world a great new or- 
 der touched with beau ty and inflamed with a great de- 
 light man's ultimate and infinite ideal. And with this 
 New World trembling into life I put-to the shutters 
 and close the doors of the Press, and, turning the key 
 in the lock, bid farewell to THE DOVES PRESS - 
 for ever. VTTT 
 
 In thus saying farewell to the Press I say it also, a 
 grateful farewell, to all who have assisted the Press, 
 have encouraged it, worked for it, subscribed; friends 
 and fellow-craftsmen, known and unknown, to all 
 
 FAREWELL.
