The last section is in 8vo. It was the first book
printed in Chaucer type. The reprint from Cax/
ton was finished while N ews from N owhere was
in the press, and before Shakespeare's Poems and
Sonnets was begun. The French poem and its
translation were added as an after/thought, and
have a separate colophon. Some of the three/line
initials, which were designed for The Well at the
World's End, are used in the French poem, and
this is their first appearance. The translation was
begun on Dec. 3,1892, and the border round the
frontispiece was designed on Feb. 13,1893.
