"Designed by Robert Josephy."

"A volume of essays entitled 'For Lancelot Andrewes' has gone out of print, after some eight years, and a new edition was proposed. I have taken the opportunity of changing the title ..., of omitting the preface, ... and of omitting two papers with which I was dissatisfied, on Machiavelli and on Crashaw. As the essay on Thomas Middleton is now included in another collection called 'Elizabethan Essays,' there was no point in including that either. On the other hand I have added five essays not previously collected: 'Religion and Literature,' 'Catholicism and International Order', 'The Pensées of Pascal', 'Modern Education and the Classics', and 'In Memoriam'."--Preface.

Blue cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine.
