London: Nicolson & Watson, 1948. Blue cloth, spine lettered in black. Very narrow band of sunning to spine ends, page edges tanned, else fine. Jacket has trivial spine rubbing, else fine. M&L A34a, noting a first binding of green cloth which was quickly rejected by Lewis and may have been on only three trial copies. The book grew out of one of his lectures at Assumption College, Windsor, Ontario (now the University of Windsor) where Lewis was employed for 10 months during his Canadian exile years. ; Octavo
