Designed by Eugene Connett at just the time when he was beginning to embark upon the Derrydale Press adventure. This title was first issued by The Workers Education Bureau Press in 1927. Siegel notes that 5000 copies were printed but only accounts for 1000 copies in hardcover and 1000 copies in wrappers; the Macmillan reissue uses the same sheets, with a new title page but containing the same statement on the verso of the title page: Designed by Eugene V. Connett.
