With reproduced 1887 etched title-page + 3 woodcut designs by J. Hood. LIMITED EDN.--`First Edition on Van Gelder paper consists of 925 copies.' ||| Mosher (1852-1923) `followed classical models & made his books not only beautiful in type [faces] & paper, but in small & inexpensive format...selected for their contents with rare discrimination, the best literature of all times & all countries'--DAB. ||| He paid substantial honoraria in lieu of royalties to authors without American copyrights after appropriating their works. ||| Mosher's issue of the present work so incensed Andrew Lang as an act of literary piracy that he never forgave the publisher.
