Transcriber's Note:
The book cover was created by the transcriber (using elements from the Title Page) and placed in the Public Domain.
Missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired.
Both hyphenated and un-hyphenated variants of some words appear in this book. All have been retained. The author has used UK-English variants of some words (e.g. 'colour', etc., not 'color', etc.), and some older spellings.
All Illustrations that interrupted paragraphs have been moved to more convenient positions nearby, between paragraphs, and closer to their descriptive text. The page numbers in the TOC have been adjusted accordingly.
The text in the Omar Khayyám illustrations appears to be missing some end-punctuation, or it is partially hidden by the design. It seems to have been a hand-written copy, by the author (William Morris), of the Fitzgerald translation of Omar Khayyám. As it is hand-written, it has not been amended to the Fitzgerald translation.
Page 25 and Index: 'Wentworth Buller' is mentioned on Page 25; 'Bullen, Wentworth, 25.' is the entry in the Index. The transcriber cannot find which spelling is correct, so both have been retained.
