The Morality, Everyman, has been printed and reprinted in a

multitude of forms since it was so successfully revived for stage performances at Christmas and other seasons. This year Messrs. Dent publish an edition of Professor Rhys's text (15s., large paper, 8 gns.), with more than seventy wood-cuts by Mr. Thomas Derrick, who has designed every page, fitting the letterpress to his illustrations. Some of these are simple, bold, outline drawings : the more formal and elaborate have a feeling of Byzantine sacred art. There is an archaic sense throughout, but not too pronounced for the purpose of presenting this particular play.
