Notes
The eighth edition of Yeats's important and successful collection, which saw revised editions through almost the entire span of his writing life. This edition is only a slight revision of the seventh - further reprints followed before the next major revision in 1927 - and it adopts the cheaper binding style of blocking the front board in blind instead of gilt which was introduced for part of the run of the previous edition, probably due to wartime economies.
