Synopsis

A competent facsimile of David Godine's 1977 edition. Published for the Dartmouth College Library by the University Press of New England. A sample of fine printing now produced with somewhat less care than we'd expect of Meriden-Stinehour Press; we find a failure to register among the (very handsome) plates.
