William Rueter, colophon: "Cobden-Sanderson's passion and idealism have inspired my own private press for a half-century and I am pleased to print some of his lesser-known writings, slightly edited. The book's format is similar to octavo Doves Press books. Trajanus type and Castellar initials were printed on mould-made paper, the same sheet used for my first book, printed fifty years ago."

"During the past five or six years I have recorded some of the most appealing of the aphorisms displayed on the Inglis billboard and I have added a few anonymous texts from other sources. The folk at Inglis are to be congratulated on their sense of responsibility to the public by presenting texts that offer a moral code and remind us of our fragile humanity."
