Note

Colophon: In this reprint of the Areopagitica the text and spelling of the first edition (1644) have been followed closely, but italics are not used and the quotation from Euripides on the title page has been emended. The border & initial letters have been designed by Lucien Pissarro & engraved on the wood by Esther Pissarro. The first paper issue printed by them at their Eragny press, The Brook, Hammersmith, finished in October, 1903, was partly destroyed by fire, at the binders, only the sample copy and 40 unbound copies being saved, of which the latter are for sale. The second issue, consisting of 160 copies, of which 134 are for sale, was finished in March, 1904. Sold by the Eragny Press, London, and John Lane, New York.
Printed in red and black.
Mark of the Eragny Press on last leaf.
