Collection of 16 pamphlets and a title/contents sheet, letterpress & silkscreen, each printed in at least two colors by typographer Volk, "designed and printed by Kurt H. Volk, especially for those who like nice things." Some have ties, one printed on vellum. All in excellent condition. Enclosed in paper-covered folding box. The paper along the box's hinge has split so the top and bottom are detached from each other, however the two pieces still fit together to protect the contents well; the box is also worn around the other edges, with chipping to the paper, and somewhat yellowed and soiled and rubbed.; The 16 pamphlets are: an excerpt from Ruth, Genesis ch. 51, Ave Maria, The Oath of a Free Man, Napoleon's letter requesting sanctuary after Waterloo, Hamlet's soliloquy by Shakespeare, The Happy Man from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac, Psalm 23, Bacon's Of Great Place essay, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Bill of Rights, nursery rhymes, Patrick Henry's speech before the Virginia Convention, the Lord's Prayer, James Henry Leigh Hunt's poem Abou Ben Adhem, and Gems from Oscar Wilde. ; 8vo
