BLAKE, WILLIAM.--Milton, a Poem in 12 Books. The Author & Printer W. Blake 1804. To Justify the Ways of God to Men. _4to, original calf binding._
Forty-five pages, ten being entirely illustration, thirteen partly so, and the rest in script text with background in many colours.
In all probability the best of three copies of this book known to exist, though it is said that Blake made twelve copies in all. The other known copies are in the British Museum and Lenox Library. Mr. Muir, who reproduced the copy in the British Museum, places this example as better than either of the others, the scheme of colour being more perfect.
