A series of vignettes to show that "it is only by spiritual or imaginative increase that the world can be saved". Numerous illustrations including by George Cruikshank, Blake and others. Of particular interest as well are the small engraved scenes in the book which were from a collection of Victorian engraved writing paper. They "give the solid background for so many flights and soarings of the imagination". Third impression. Previous owner name on free endpaper. Cover slightly faded.
