[London ]: Andre Deutsch, 1960. Second impression, slim 8vo, pp. 107, [1]; generally a fine copy in the dust jacket. The book is dedicated to Eric Partridge, and in this copy Partridge has written a long presentation dated 6 December 1960 to "Professor Norman Davis / Dear Davis, All this matter is familiar to you: but you may care to have the material conveniently & agreeably presented. With many thanks for your notes (esp. the article on 'market') - all duely utilized..." Partridge has also crossed out the price on the jacket flap. Davis, like Partridge, was a native New Zealander, and was a professor of English at the University of Oxford. (Inventory #: 51601)
