An essay adapted from an article in the 'Michugan Daily' for May 24, 1925. This book is one of 1000 copies only 200 of which were bound in boards. This is a lightly marked, ex-libris copy - no external marks, only two small embossed marks on inside. Front hinge was weak and has been repaired somewhat unattractively. External appearance is fine. Weight, 175g.
