<\/a>The first is Dove at the Windows: Last Letters of Four Quaker Martyrs<\/em> (Penmaen Press, Lincoln, MA, 1973).\u00a0With a foreword by George Selleck & five woodcuts by Michael McCurdy, this is a fine press book limited to 200 numbered copies (this is number 199) and signed by McCurdy. It was printed by hand in Palatino on Nideggen paper from Germany, and reprints the surviving letters written by four American Quakers who were put to death in Boston between 1659 and 1661.\u00a0 The Watkinson does have another copy (number 62), but in teaching about letterpress and bibliography\u00a0it is often good to have two copies of a hand-made work to use for comparison.<\/p>\n
