Tissue just a very little dusty, but a fine copy of this minor masterpiece of printing. Gray’s last volume of original verse, dedicated to the memory of Charles Ricketts: Gray wrote two years later “I was an invention of Ricketts. He used to set me tasks to perform; he was infinitely patient with the performer and very hard upon the performance … He was to me the kind of tyrant I have always approved of”.
