Scarce Gill item, compiled and printed by Douglas Pepler without Gill's knowledge or consent. Gill moved away from Ditchling, to Capel-y-Ffin in Wales, and wanted to take the engraved woodblocks with him as his personal property. Pepler claimed they belonged to the St. Dominic's lay order and press and so kept them, resulting in Gill's refusal to speak to Pepler again.
