Publication Details: Longmans, 1966

Notes: Scarce, the first Longmans printing of the work (based on the sixteenth impression of the Unwin edition), and intended for school use; the text is preceded by a new note by Tolkien, with a runic heading and principally on runes, with the author also adding a note about dwarves. An excellent copy.
