First edition. A collection of two lectures, Money & Morals and Men & Things, first given to the Link Society at Manchester and the School of Art at Edinburgh respectively, with The Politics of Industrialism, which first appeared in Blackfriars. A typically handsome Gill volume set in his own typefaces, the jacket in Gill Sans and the book in Joanna, unjustified, with italic shoulder-notes serving as running heads. The illustrations are by his son-in-law. As ODNB remarks of most of his published books from this period, the text is "imbued with Gill's peculiar blend of Ruskinian morality, William Morris utopianism, Thomist philosophy, and bumptious common sense".
Octavo. Original pale red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With the printed dust jacket. With 9 line illustrations by Denis Tegetmeier. A fine copy in the jacket that has more or less unavoidable creases at the inner edge of the very wide flaps but is otherwise very good.
