"First Published February, 1932."

"The large paper edition of 'These Restless Heads' consists of four hundred and ten signed and numbered copies, of which three hundred and seventy-three are for sale."

"It may be observed (by the over careful about trifles) that with the present volume the author's name has suffered truncation. The main cause of this change is my desire, for the reasons explained in 'Townsend of Lichfield,' to distinguish as sharply as may be between those volumes which make up the Biography of the life of Manuel and such other publishings as under the dictates of chance I may or may not emit; and thus in some sort to emphasize still again the circumstance that the Biography is one single, one continuous, and one indivisible book."--P. xi.

Cream linen spine lettered in silver; silver paper boards with shield and motto "Impavide" stamped on center of front cover.
