Symons greatly admired Ricketts’s books and considered them to be among the most remarkable of those issued in that first great decade of modern book production. He writes that they are ‘the products of an historically learned mind applied unhistorically … [they] present a fantastic mixture of archaic pedanticism and revolutionary defiance of precedent’ (Symons in “Fine Printing”, p. 105 / Nelson BH p. 46) Nelson, BH, 1892.14/40. Light foxing to endpapers. A fine copy.
