George Herbert
George Herbert (1593-1633) is another poet that Carr left out of his History of the QTP (1987). Two impressions have been seen; an impression with matt card covers that is otherwise the same as the second impression is reported. There may be more. The cover is designed by Carr, who celebrates rural English churches on the back.
