Miss Robinson's Poems by William
Wordsworth, in green, almost entirely
covered with a design of little leaves
in red and gold, was exceedingly rich
in effect, and in this respect re-
sembled Mr. L. Hay-Cooper's cover
for The Hollow Land. The severely
simple yet dignified Areopagilica,
bound in red leather, by Mr.
Charles McLeish; Mr. Alfred De
Sauty's Shakespeare s Sonnets, and
the ingenious design for the cover of
a prayer-book, by Miss E. Gertrude
oak box inlaid by Sidney c. hayne Farran, should also be noticed. Mr.
T. J. Cobden-Sanderson showed a
injury—an important consideration which is some- dignified Guest Book; and another notable cover
times overlooked by the enthusiast in covers. was that of Mr. Douglas CockerelPs fine Lectern
Another and more elaborate specimen of binding Bible, in red Niger morocco, an illustration of
by Miss Adams, shown in the same case, the which was given in The Studio in January,
sumptuous Dante, with a de-
tachable outer covering of
richly embroidered silk, was a
good type of the highly deco-
rated volume that must surely
be intended, except on special
occasions, to lie concealed in
the great casket specially made
for it by Mr. Waal.
Other attractive bindings
were to be found in an adja-
cent case, among them Peter
Pan in Kensington Gardens,
in green and gold, and Shelley's
Tour, by Mr. C. B. Lawrence;
Miss Sybil Pye's austere
Empedocles on Etna; Mr. J.
Hay-Cooper's Sonnets of Shake-
speare, and The Percys, by
Mr. A. Harding. These were
all leather bindings; and it was,
perhaps, a mistake to show in
the same case books with em-
broidered covers such as Mr.
Vaughan's Apocalypse and M iss
Dobito's Lmitation of Christ,
which, good enough of their
kind, suffered by compari-
son with their neighbours.
A fine cover in another case
was that by Miss Mary G. inlaid walnut secretaire designed by w. a. s. benson
Robinson, of Celtic Illuminative executed under the direction of morris & company
