_Footlights_, that weekly paper published in Philadelphia, is a clean
(moderately so) paper, chock full of such uninteresting topics as
interviews with actors, book gossip, news from London and Paris, short
stories, woman’s chatter, verse and lots more of idiocy that only spoils
white paper. It has a big circulation, and people read it, but no one can
tell why.
“It has a disagreeable habit of speaking its own mind.”—_Philadelphia
Press._

The Roycroft Printing Shop announces for immediate publication an
exquisite edition of the Song of Songs: which is Solomon’s; being a
Reprint of the text together with a Study by Mr. Elbert Hubbard.
In this edition a most peculiar and pleasant effect is wrought by casting
the Song into dramatic form. The Study is sincere, but not serious, and
has been declared by several Learned Persons, to whom the proofsheets
have been submitted, to be a Work of Art. The Volume is thought a seemly
and precious gift from any Wife to any Husband.
The book is printed by hand, with rubricated initials and title page, on
Ruisdael handmade paper. The type was cast to the order of the Roycroft
Shop, and is cut after one of the earliest Roman faces. It is probable
that no more beautiful type for book printing was ever made, and, for
reasons known to lovers of books, this publication will mark an era in
the art of printing in America.
_Only six hundred copies, bound in antique boards, have been made and
are offered for sale at two dollars each, net. There are also twelve
copies printed on Japan vellum throughout, but which are all sold at five
dollars each. Every copy is numbered and signed by Mr. Hubbard. The type
has been distributed and no further edition will be printed._
