A letter to the editor of the Athenaeum concerning the end of the 13th stanza of Shelley's Ode to Liberty.

The Doves Press was founded in 1901 by Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker. Cobden-Sanderson first set up the Doves Bindery in 1893, which bound many of the Kelmscott Press books.
Their business ideals were based heavily on the Arts and Crafts Movement. The two partners, along with Sydney Cockerell, created type based on Nicolas Jenson's Roman type (1470's), named the 'Doves Type.'
