Strike Anywhere calls for immediate unified militant action to take control of the America's urban centers: "if there is going to be any student-worker alliance then it will be formed as clearly seen in france not in the factories but on the streets or not at all. if poor whites & middleclass hippies are going to come together as in chicago berkeley & NY it will be in the streets. if there is going to be a true working alliance with blacks then it will come from the common struggle in the streets. the streets are where we will confront the man & where the struggle will become clear - theoretically as well as tactically. theory in not separate from life/ we need space to create the existence we want to live & in the streets we learn the man isn't going to give up space - because the existence of an alternate life is a threat to his piglife."</em></p>

The Irish poet hymnist and lyricist Nahum Tate 1652-1715 became England's poet laureate in 1692. He is best remembered for the New Version of the Psalms of David first published in 1696 in which he collaborated with Nicholas Brady. Tate wrote the words to a number of hymns of which the most famous is the Christmas carol known today by its opening line 'While shepherds watched their flocks by night'. He also wrote the libretto for Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas in 1689. Nicholas Brady 1659-1726 was an Anglican clergyman and poet also born in Ireland. John Reeves unknown

Preserved in a new marbled slipcase. <br /><br />R. McLean <i>Victorian Book Design</i> 1972 pp.88-90.<br />Owen Jones 1809-1874 architect and designer was interested in historical ornament as an inspiration for modern design and striving to determine universal principles of design studied both oriental and western arts. In this work Jones clearly echoed the hand-illuminated work of medieval breviaries psalters and books of hours. "The book was well printed by Vizetelly Brothers and must have been a considerable undertaking since it consisted of over 500 pages all printed in two or three colours" McLean. The complex wood-engraved borders were in widely varying styles and were printed in black blue and red combined or in such single colours as yellow green lilac blue red or brown. Additionally there were eight strikingly printed illuminated divisional 'title pages' chromolithographed in gold red blue and green. Additionally there are full-page woodcut plates by John C. Horsley and Henry Warren with engraved borders and a tint over the print. and 37 wood engravings after Raphael and others throughout the text. The result was "one of the most important examples of Owen's commercial decoration" McLean.The book was initially issued in eight parts and was later republished in 1850 and in 1863 in fewer colours and without the chromolithographed 'title pages'. The work is also "of great interest in tracing the work done by Baxter's apprentices" Lewis. Jones had his own press and with his co-worker H. N. Humphreys "developed several totally new binding styles using materials such as papier mâché terracotta and embossed leather which were more fitted to the sumptuous contents" O.D.N.B. It is likely that the binding of this copy was designed by Jones even if not created in his workshop.<br />C. T.
