A very good example of this uncommon large paper edition, part of the Moray Library series. Gleeson White (1851-98) was a prolific player on the eighteen-nineties scene, editing several important periodicals from the time, including, with Charles Shannon, the Pageant. He provided the cover design for Wratislaw's Caprices, and was gifted number one of the special issue of that work by the author.

The 'Eminent Hands' in question include Andrew Lang, Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling and Grant Allen.

First edition, one of 78 large paper copies; 8vo; unopened; original stiff card wrappers with French-folded printed dust-jacket and additional, thinner paper jacket with title printed to upper panel (spotted and lightly marked, with some loss to head of lower panel).
