Notes:

"The four letters here printed for the first time are part of Henry James's informal correspondence with William Heinemann, the publisher ... They concern themselves with James's impressions of Ibsen's 'Little Eyolf' and contain some general remarks on the drama"--Note.

"Of this, the first book printed by the Scarab Press, one hundred copies are for sale at Dunster House ... The frontispiece was engraved on wood by Waldo Murray"--Colophon.

"The colophon, p. [19] occurs in two states: A. The colophon is in 14 lines, the last line being: "Copy Number"; B. The colophone is in 13 lines, the line "Copy Number" not present ... BAL assumes that copies without the statement "Copy Number", were printed in addition to the specified hundred copies."--CF BAL.
