After tarrying due to a series of temptations and self-indulgences, the prince returns only to find that the princess has died. Dante Gabriel Rossetti's frontispiece illustration depicts the grief-stricken prince upon hearing the news of his princesse's death; the title illustration depicts the princess staring longingly out the window as she waits for her prince to return. The 1866 edition contains 46 poems in addition to "The Prince's Progress." Dante Gabriel Rossetti disagreed with the gaudy ornamentation of many Victorian books, and thus attempted to refine the heavily ornamented book with his own bindings.

Yohannan declared that the magazine would not review releases by major labels or their subsidiaries or those from "big indie labels that used to be known as 'punk' labels but are turning out the most dreadful rock imaginable."

This hardening of the publication's musical line was further emphasized in the following issue, dated February 1994, in which Yohannan responded at considerable length to the leading letter to the editor critical of the new review policy.Jeff H. to MRR and response by Tim Yohannan, "Letter A," Maximum Rocknroll no. 129 (February 1994), pp. 14-15.

The body of the novel is preceded by a 55-page "prelude" entitled "On Fear and Aristocracy" that explains Benham's lifelong perplexity at the failure of human beings to be noble, and his early belief that the conquest of fear is the essence of the noble life. The six chapters of the novel, which tell Benham's life story, explore this perplexity. Benham dies in the midst of his quest, but his papers show that he has arrived at the tentative conclusion that there are four impediments, or "limitations" as he labels them, that keep human beings from living nobly: (1) fear; (2) self-indulgences, including sex; (3) jealousy; and (4) prejudice (by the last he means "the most remarkable array of influences, race-hatred, national suspicion, the evil side of patriotism, religious and social intolerance, every social consequence of muddle headedness, every dividing force indeed except the purely personal dissensions between man and man."H.G. Wells, The Research Magnificent (New York: Macmillan, 1919), p.
