Bird & Bull Press, North Hills, 1981

8vo. (9 x 6 1/4 inches), 120+(1) pages, frontispiece. Morocco spine and tips, printed paper over boards. Beautifully bound by Gray Parrot. Limited to 300 numbered copies, the work is set in Baskerville types and printed by letterpress on Hahnemuhle Ingres-Buttenpapier. It reprints a scarce work on paper, first published in 1829, which warns of the harmful consequences of the indiscriminate use of chemicals in papermaking. Murray's scarce text is preceded by a substantial essay by Leonard Schlosser and a publisher's note by Henry Morris and is followed by a short appendix, which detail Murray's other accomplishments. Fine, as issued.
