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 (L12 12s.) net, and there will also be five copies on vellum at Forty Pounds (L40) net.
