KING EDWARD THE SEVENTH'S PRAYER-BOOK.

This will be a sumptuous edition of the Book of Common Prayer,
which, by gracious permission of His Majesty, will be entitled 'King
Edward the Seventh's Prayer-Book.'
The new Prayer-Book will be hand printed at the Essex House Press,
and whilst conforming to the Authorized Version will rank, as a piece
of typography, with the Great Prayer-Book of Edward VI. It is to be in
new type designed by Mr. C.R. Ashbee, with about one hundred and
fifty woodcuts, and is to be printed in red and black on Batchelor
hand-made paper. There will also probably be a special binding of
green vellum with a gold block design and clasps. The preparation of
the work is expected to occupy about eighteen months.
The Prayer-Book will be published by his Majesty's printers, Messrs.
Eyre and Spottiswoode, acting under the Royal Letters Patent, who will
superintend the work of the Essex House Press.
Exceptional circumstances connected with the Book of Common
Prayer render it essential that this work, in order to be of historic value,
shall be issued with the imprint of the King's printers; but Mr.
EDWARD ARNOLD has arranged to secure for subscribers to the
Essex House Press publications the first offer of copies, and orders
should be sent in before October 31, 1901, after which date such
priority cannot be guaranteed.
The edition will be strictly limited to a total of four hundred copies for
England and America, at a price of Twelve Guineas (£12 12s.) net, and
there will also be five copies on vellum at Forty Pounds (£40) net.
