LAWRENCE There doesn’t seem much excuse for me, sitting under a little cedar tree at the foot of the Rockies, looking at the pale desert disappearing westward, with hummocks of shadow rising in the stillness of incipient autumn, this morning, the near pine trees perfectly still, the sunflowers and the purple michaelmas daisies moving for the first time, this morning, in an invisible breath of breeze, to be writing an introduction to a bibliography. Books to me are incorporate things, voices in the air, that do not disturb the haze of autumn, and visions that don’t blot out the sunflowers. What do I care for first or last editions? I have never read one of my own published works. To me, no book has a date, no book has a binding. What do I care if “e” is somewhere upside down, or “g” comes from the wrong fount? I really don’t. And when I force myself to remember, what pleasure is there in that? The very first copy of _The White Peacock_ that was ever sent out, I put into my mother’s hands when she was dying. She looked at the outside, and then at the title-page, and then at me, with darkening eyes. And though she loved me so much, I think she doubted whether it could be much of a book, since no-one more important than I had written it. Somewhere, in the helpless privacies of her being, she had wistful respect for me. But for me in the face of the world, not much. This David would never get a stone across at Goliath. And why try? Let Goliath alone!—Anyway, she was beyond reading my first immortal work. It was put aside, and I never wanted to see it again. She never saw it again. After the funeral, my father struggled through half a page, and it might as well have been Hottentot. “And what dun they gi’e thee for that, lad?” “Fifty pounds, father.” “Fifty pound!” He was dumbfounded, and looked at me with shrewd eyes, as if I were a swindler. “Fifty pound! An’ tha’s niver done a day’s hard work in thy life.” I think to this day, he looks upon me as a sort of cleverish swindler, who gets money for nothing: a sort of Ernest Hooley. And my sister says, to my utter amazement: “You _always_ were lucky!” Somehow, it is the actual corpus and substance, the actual paper and rag volume of any of my works, that calls up these personal feelings and memories. It is the miserable tome itself which somehow delivers me to the vulgar mercies of the world. The voice inside is mine forever. But the beastly marketable chunk of a published volume is a bone which every dog presumes to pick with me. William Heinemann published _The White Peacock_. I saw him once; and then I realized what an immense favour he was doing me. As a matter of fact, he treated me quite well. I remember, at the last minute, when the book was all printed and ready to bind: some even bound: they sent me in great haste a certain page with a marked paragraph. Would I remove this paragraph, as it might be considered “objectionable,” and substitute an exactly identical number of obviously harmless words. Hastily I did so. And later, I noticed that the two pages, on one of which was the altered paragraph, were rather loose, not properly bound in to the book.—Only my mother’s copy had the paragraph unchanged. I have wondered often if Heinemann’s just altered the “objectionable” bit in the first little batch of books they sent out, then left the others as first printed. Or whether they changed all but the one copy they sent me ahead. It was my first experience of the objectionable. Later, William Heinemann said he thought _Sons and Lovers_ one of the dirtiest books he had ever read. He refused to publish it.—I should not have thought the deceased gentleman’s reading had been so circumspectly narrow. I forget the first appearance of _The Trespasser_ and _Sons and Lovers_. I always hide the fact of publication from myself as far as possible. One writes, even at this moment, to some mysterious presence in the air. If that presence were not there, and one thought of even a single solitary actual reader, the paper would remain forever white. But I always remember how, in a cottage by the sea, in Italy, I re-wrote almost entirely that play, _The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd_, right on the proofs which Mitchell Kennerley had sent me. And he nobly forbore with me. But then he gave me a nasty slap. He published _Sons and Lovers_ in America, and one day, joyful, arrived a cheque for twenty pounds. Twenty pounds in those days was a little fortune: and as it was a windfall, it was handed over to Madame; the first pin-money she had seen. Alas and alack, there was an alteration in the date of the cheque, and the bank would not cash it. It was returned to Mitchell Kennerley, but that was the end of it. He never made good, and never to this day made any further payment for _Sons and Lovers_. Till this year of grace 1924, America has had that, my most popular book, for nothing—as far as I am concerned. Then came the first edition of _The Rainbow_. I’m afraid I set my rainbow in the sky too soon, before, instead of after the deluge. Methuen published that book, and he almost wept before the magistrate, when he was summoned for bringing out a piece of indecent literature. He said he did not know the dirty thing he had been handling, he had not read the work, his reader had misadvised him—and _Peccavi! Peccavi!_ wept the now be-knighted gentleman. Then around me arose such a fussy sort of interest, as when a really scandalous bit of scandal is being whispered about one. In print my fellow-authors kept scrupulously silent, lest a bit of the tar might stick to them. Later Arnold Bennett and May Sinclair raised a kindly protest. But John Galsworthy told me, very calmly and ex cathedra, he thought the book a failure as a work of art.—They think as they please. But why not wait till I ask them, before they deliver an opinion to me? Especially as impromptu opinions by elderly authors are apt to damage him who gives as much as him who takes. There is no more indecency or impropriety in _The Rainbow_ than there is in this autumn morning—I, who say so, ought to know. And when I open my mouth, let no dog bark. So much for the first edition of _The Rainbow_. The only copy of any of my books I ever keep is my copy of Methuen’s _Rainbow_. Because the American editions have all been mutilated. And this is almost my favourite among my novels: this, and _Women in Love_. And I should really be best pleased if it were never re-printed at all, and only those blue, condemned volumes remained extant. Since _The Rainbow_, one submits to the process of publication as to a necessary evil: as souls are said to submit to the necessary evil of being born into the flesh. The wind bloweth where it listeth. And one must submit to the processes of one’s day. Personally, I have no belief in the vast public. I believe that only the winnowed few can care. But publishers, like thistle, must set innumerable seeds on the wind, knowing most will miscarry. To the vast public, the autumn morning is only a sort of stage background against which they can display their own mechanical importance. But to some men still the trees stand up and look around at the daylight, having woven the two ends of darkness together into visible being and presence. And soon, they will let go the two ends of darkness again, and disappear. A flower laughs once, and having had his laugh, chuckles off into seed, and is gone. Whence? Whither? Who knows, who cares? That little laugh of achieved being is all. So it is with books. To every man who struggles with his own soul in mystery, a book that is a book flowers once, and seeds, and is gone. First editions or forty-first are only the husks of it. Yet if it amuses a man to save the husks of the flower that opened once for the first time, one can understand that too. It is like the costumes that men and women used to wear, in their youth, years ago, and which now stand up rather faded in museums. With a jolt they reassemble for us the day-to-day actuality of the by-gone people, and we see the trophies once more of man’s eternal fight with inertia. _Lobo_ _September 1st, 1924_ INTRODUCTION This book, a record of the published writings of Mr. D. H. Lawrence, follows the general plan of the _Centaur Bibliographies_ which have preceded it. The opening section contains collations of the first issues of Mr. Lawrence’s books, twenty-seven in all. Among these collations is that of _Movements in European History_, a book written by Mr. Lawrence, published under the _nom de plume_ Lawrence H. Davison, and never heretofore openly attributed to him. Many of the collations are accompanied by notes. Some of these discuss bibliographical points which could not be adequately covered in the more technical descriptions of the books; others estimate the relative scarcity of the various items, or give information about interesting editions after the first; a few are critical. Since ten of Mr. Lawrence’s books were first published in America, some consistent method had to be found for ranking the American “firsts” of an English author. The plan adopted for this work was to list the first publication of each book, regardless of place of publication, as the real first edition of that book. It was difficult to escape the logic and common-sense of this solution of a vexing problem. But because the whimseys, prejudices, and sentiments of book-collectors are often notoriously free from logical or sensible restraints, all of the first English editions of Mr. Lawrence are fully described, even though some of them appeared months after the corresponding American editions. Preceding each collation, the year, the month, and, in important instances, the day of publication are given. This information, for the American books, was supplied especially by Mr. B. W. Huebsch and Mr. Thomas Seltzer. Similar information about the English books was received from Mr. Lawrence’s London publishers, but only in part; in the main, the year and the month of publication were taken from the _English Catalogue of Books_. Information from this source does not always agree absolutely with publishers’ records; but it was usually accepted as sufficiently accurate, since the month of publication at least is oftener a nice refinement in a bibliography than a significant fact. So much for the first section of this study. The other sections are: Translation; Contributions to Books; Contributions to Periodicals; Studies and Reviews. All but the first of these require some special comment. In cataloguing Mr. Lawrence’s writings every reasonable effort was made (with what success cannot now be told) to insure a complete record of his numerous and varied contributions to books. In this business it is plainly impossible to be sure that some items have not been overlooked. Without in the least attempting to disarm criticism, one may properly call attention to the great difficulty of running down anthologies of modern poetry and prose, to the making of which there seems, indeed, to be no end. Added to this is the even greater difficulty of ascertaining what these anthologies contain, without examining each one separately. There simply isn’t an index of modern collections of poetry. And indices of the short story leave much to be discovered elsewhere. Nevertheless, under Contributions to Books are listed some thirty volumes with Lawrence material. They are treated in two ways: the books which contain Lawrence “first printings between boards” are fully described and annotated; those which include reprintings only are not described, but the extent and the source of Mr. Lawrence’s contributions to them are noted. The former are genuine Lawrence items and should be in a comprehensive collection of his writings. In the fourth section of this study will be found an approximately complete record of Mr. Lawrence’s contributions to periodicals. These contributions are not, everything considered, numerous. There are reasons for this. It has not been Mr. Lawrence’s custom to publish novels serially. He is not a voluminous writer of short stories, contenting himself, evidently, with being a great one. He has never been much given to reviewing, or to any other sort of hack-writing. Plainly, these are not Mr. Lawrence’s ways of keeping the pot boiling. But numerous or not, the contributions to periodicals are often of great interest—even for reasons unrelated to technical bibliography. For example, many American reviewers of _Studies in Classic American Literature_, published August, 1923, were bewildered by what they considered a surprise attack along our Parnassian front. Others, less alarmed but scarcely more informed, found a direct connection between the book and Mr. Lawrence’s visits to our shores in 1922 and 1923. “Obviously,” they seemed to reason, “the author of this volume came to _These States_ for a first-hand view of our literary shrines, and here is the critical account of his pilgrimage.” All very interesting, if true. In point of fact, long before 1923 many of the studies, in their first forms, lay quietly inurned, but recoverable, in the files of the _English Review_. The earliest study goes back to November, 1918, and most of the others followed hard upon the first. There is, too, something for the collector among the contributions to periodicals. Items of particular interest to him are commented upon. In this connection, a special effort was made to list the Lawrence material in out-of-the-way magazines. Some of this sort to which Mr. Lawrence contributed were, alas, not long for this hard world. _The Blue Review_, _The Signature_, and _The Seven Arts_ are typical examples of such ephemera. Although perhaps a majority of Mr. Lawrence’s contributions to periodicals were subsequently used in certain of his works, many remain uncollected. The notes which follow the separate items will usually enable the curious to distinguish the collected from the uncollected. They will also show that Mr. Lawrence often altered the titles of poems and stories before including them in his books. But there the notes stop. No consistent effort was made to deal with the larger phase of Mr. Lawrence’s textual revisions. That lies outside the scope of this volume. However, a comparison, say, of the stories in _The Prussian Officer_ with their first published forms will show that Mr. Lawrence’s revisions go much beyond titles. Regarding the chronological lists of Studies and Reviews little need be said—except perhaps in apology. They do not, strictly, belong in a volume of this sort, but were finally included for whatever value they might have as an index to the critical comment on Mr. Lawrence’s writings since the publication of _The White Peacock_. The lists make no claim to completeness. Nevertheless, they are probably more inclusive than they should be. Along with much that is fine, they contain much that is pointless and futile. But this is not surprising: the average critic sitting in judgment of Mr. Lawrence is quickly _au bout de son latin_. Such, then, is the general plan of this bibliographical study. Designed primarily to meet the needs of Lawrence collectors, it will also be serviceable to students of what is now the most brilliant and challenging career in really contemporary English literature. And it may have a further use. Although Mr. Lawrence is quite without the sort of pride in authorship that busies itself with shapes of books or records of publications, he may nevertheless find in this glorified card-index some usefulness. If so, I shall be repaid for the making of it. And now a word of thanks for help on this book must go especially to Mr. Lawrence, to Mr. Harold T. Mason, to Mr. David Jester, Jr., and to Mr. Carroll Frey. Mr. Lawrence first told me about _Movements in European History_, and he has generously forwarded my work in other ways. The intrepid publishers of this volume made it possible for me to examine duplicates of the various Lawrence items, and Mr. Mason’s knowledge of the investiture of the books herein described was frequently drawn upon. Mr. Frey helped with the typography—which in a book like the present is no small matter. I am also indebted to a number of people, both in England and America, for replies to many sorts of questions. An appropriate conclusion to this introduction would be, I have no doubt, a solemn recital of the General Confession. But there’s no good here prating of things done or left undone. There simply isn’t. Bibliolatry has its virtues, but sweet charity is not among them. Indeed she’s not. All this by way of letting the users of this book know that reports of my sins of omission and commission will be received with true stoical fortitude. EDWARD D. MCDONALD _Philadelphia_ _October 15, 1924_ FIRST EDITIONS (1) THE WHITE PEACOCK Published January 1911 THE / WHITE PEACOCK / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publisher’s device_) / London / William Heinemann / 1911 COLLATION:—pp. iv + 496, consisting of half-title (with list of _New 6s. Novels_—eleven items—in upper left of verso), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, London, 1911, by William Heinemann, and Washington, U.S.A._, / _by Duffield and Company_ at foot of verso), pp. (iii, iv); fly-leaf, with _Part I_ and signature _1_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); text, pp. 3-496. There is no printer’s imprint. There are divisional fly-leaves, which mark the three parts of the book, at pp. (1, 2), (189, 190), (359, 360). Pp. (2), (188), (190), (358), (360) blank. Crown 8vo, 7⁷⁄₁₆ × 4¾; issued in greenish dark blue cloth; front cover has across top three-panel rectangular form in black, middle panel of which encloses lettering and ornamentation in white as follows: _The White_ / _Peacock_ / (three dots) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_; end panels enclose conventionalized rose-bush designs in black. Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (heavy line) / _The White_ / _Peacock_ / (three dots) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / (heavy line) / (heavy line) / _Heinemann_ / (heavy line). Back cover has at center blind stamp of publisher’s device. Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. _The White Peacock_, Mr. Lawrence’s first book, was published by William Heinemann from plates imported from Duffield and Company, New York. The omission of the English printer’s imprint was, however, accidental, not intentional. The exact date of the publication of the English edition was January 20, 1911, while that of the American issue was January 19. It is evident, therefore, that _The White Peacock_ was meant to appear simultaneously in England and America. The book was, of course, manufactured late in 1910, and copyright proceedings were begun in both countries in this year, which is, in fact, given in the copyright notice in the American book. The first binding order on the English _White Peacock_, I am informed by William Heinemann, Ltd., was for 750 copies. The second binding order was for a like number. The two bindings differ on one point. The first has a blind stamp of the Heinemann device, the wind-mill, on the back cover; the second has not. However, both “cases,” which are otherwise alike, contain the first printed sheets. The inadvertent omission of the stamp from the second binding is the sort of variation which often occurs when the same sheets are bound at different times. Copies of the first edition of _The White Peacock_ are now genuinely scarce. The book is seldom listed in catalogues, where later Lawrence items are usually to be found. It is well known that certain books of comparatively recent publication tend, for one reason or another, to disappear. These are often first books, the initial editions of which are seldom large. _The White Peacock_, a notable first novel, is a good example of this tendency. I believe that the Heinemann _White Peacock_ is as scarce as the Methuen _Rainbow_, universally regarded as the rarest Lawrence item. Certain it is that I have seen more copies of _The Rainbow_ in fine condition than I have seen of _The White Peacock_ in any condition. Collectors who have a copy of this book, and who are curious about Mr. Lawrence’s comment on the textual change made after the sheets were bound, will probably find a tipped-in leaf at pages 229 and 230. I have examined only four copies. All of these had the inserted leaf. I suspect the bowdlerizing was efficient and thorough, but I cannot, under the circumstances, be sure. However, in connection with this textual change appears my reason for including a collation of the American first edition of this book. The Duffield text is unaltered, as a comparison of the English and American editions of 1911 will show. (1A) THE WHITE PEACOCK Published January 1911 THE / WHITE PEACOCK / A Novel / By / D. H.

(2) THE TRESPASSER Published May 1912 THE TRESPASSER / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publishers’ device_) / London: Duckworth & Co. / Henrietta Street, Covent Garden / 1912 COLLATION:—pp. iv + 292, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _All rights reserved._ in center of verso), pp. (iii, iv); text, pp. (1)-292. Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. 292 as follows: _Billing and Sons, Ltd., Printers, Guildford_ At end of volume there is 20-page, numbered but undated, catalogue of _A Selection from_ / _Duckworth & Co.’s_ / _List of Publications_ Crown 8vo, 7¼ × 4⅞; issued in dark blue cloth; front cover has, at top and bottom only, thick line border, with thin inner line—both in blind; and inside of gilt circle at center is lettered in gilt as follows: _The_ / _Trespasser_ / _By the Author of_ / _“The White_ / _Peacock”_ Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (one thick, one thin line at top) / _The_ / _Trespasser_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Duckworth_ / (one thin, one thick line at bottom). Back cover has at center blind stamp of publishers’ device, but is otherwise blank. All edges cut. End-papers white. Dealers in modern first editions call _The Trespasser_ a “hard” book. It _is_ scarce, but the dealers protest too much. Surely they are not correct in assuming, as they frequently do, that _The Trespasser_ is as scarce as the Heinemann _White Peacock_, even if good copies of it are difficult to come by—as they certainly are. Although the above is the genuine first issue of _The Trespasser_, there are extant copies identical with it on the inside, but in a light green “case,” lettered on the front in black and on the backbone in gilt—except _Duckworth_, which is in black. The curious who have at hand a first edition of Mr. W. H. Davies’ _Beggars_, also published by Duckworth, will know the cover-design of _The Trespasser_ in green. The texture and the color of the cloths differ somewhat. I know nothing about this unusual form, except that the copy I have is on the inside, page for page, identical with the above. One other copy has been reported to me, by Mr. Arthur Rogers, an English dealer. The publishers (their file copies of _The Trespasser_ having disappeared) are a bit vague, but they suggest that perhaps copies for the Colonial market were bound in green. This may be the answer; but since the green “case” is certainly more elaborate, and was probably more expensive than the blue, one suspects the former may have been a “trial” binding. The first American edition of _The Trespasser_ was published, from the Duckworth sheets, by Mitchell Kennerley, New York, 1912. (3) LOVE POEMS AND OTHERS Published February 1913 LOVE (_dot_) POEMS / AND (_dot_) OTHERS / By (_dot_) D. H. Lawrence / Author of “The White Peacock” “The Trespasser” / Duckworth (_dot_) and (_dot_) Co. / Covent (_dot_) Garden (_dot_) London / MCMXIII COLLATION:—pp. 6 (preceded by blank leaf) + lxiv, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _Several of these Poems have_ / _appeared in the “English_ / _Review,” the “Nation,” and_ / _the “Westminster Gazette.”_ in center of verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_, pp. (5, 6); text, pp. i-(lxiv). Printers’ imprint, beneath line, at foot of p. (lxiv) as follows: _Turnbull and Spears, Printers, Edinburgh_ Large cr. 8vo, 8⅝ × 6; issued in dark blue cloth; front cover has one-line border in blind, and at upper left is lettered in gilt as follows: _Love Poems_ / _and Others_ / _By_ / _D. H. Lawrence_ Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (one thick, one thin line at top) / _Love_ / _Poems_ / _and_ / _Others_ / (a line) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Duckworth_ / (one thin, one thick line at bottom). Back cover has in lower left corner blind stamp of publishers’ device, but is otherwise blank. Top edges gilt; fore and bottom edges cut. End-papers white. _Love Poems and Others_ was Mr. Lawrence’s third book, and his first volume of poetry. As to the comparative scarcity of this first edition opinion differs greatly. Of the six books of poems (not counting _Bay_, a private press volume) by Mr. Lawrence, I am inclined to rank _Love Poems_ third in scarcity. I suspect that both _Amores_ (first issue, with the catalogue) and _Look! We Have Come Through!_ are scarcer than this item. Be that as it may, _Love Poems_ is far from common. Fortunately, however, the book was stoutly built, and copies of the first edition, when they do turn up, are usually in quite satisfactory condition—satisfactory even to collectors. The first American edition of _Love Poems and Others_ was published, from the Duckworth sheets, by Mitchell Kennerley, New York, 1913. (4) SONS AND LOVERS Published May 1913 SONS AND LOVERS / By / D. H. Lawrence / Author of / “Love Poems,” “The White Peacock,” “The Trespasser” / (_publishers’ device_) / London: Duckworth & Co. / Henrietta Street, Covent Garden / 1913 COLLATION:—pp. viii + 424, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _All rights reserved_ in center of verso), pp. (iii, iv); dedication, _To_ / _Edward Garnett_ (verso blank), pp. (v, vi); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. vii, (viii); text, pp. (1)-423. Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. 423 as follows: _Billing and Sons, Ltd., Printers, Guildford_ P. (424) blank. At end of volume there is 20-page, numbered but undated, catalogue of _A Selection from_ / _Duckworth & Co.’s_ / _List of Publications_ Crown 8vo, 7¼ × 4¾; issued in dull dark blue cloth; front cover has two-line border in blind, and is lettered and ornamented in gilt as follows: _Sons and Lovers_ / (three dots) _D. H. Lawrence_ (three dots). Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (two lines at top) / _Sons_ / _and_ / _Lovers_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Duckworth_ / (two lines at bottom). Back cover has in lower left corner blind stamp of publishers’ device, but is otherwise blank. All edges cut. End-papers white. _Sons and Lovers_, now universally acclaimed one of the great novels of recent years, appeals strongly to many collectors who go in for modern first editions. The significance of the book was realized soon after its publication, and copies of the initial printing were evidently read, passed around, and reread. As a result, copies of this edition in excellent state are now seldom seen. Most show signs of hard use. Nevertheless, all Lawrence collectors entertain the hope of having some fine day an _editio princeps_ of _Sons and Lovers_ in what they can superciliously call “pristine condition.” The incorrigibly optimistic want even the original dust-cover. While waiting for this perfect copy, some collectors may do well to make sure that their present copies are of the first issue; for _Sons and Lovers_ is rather a tricky item. A later issue in lighter blue cloth, without date on title-page, must not be confused with the real first issue described above, the cloth of which is an unusual dark blue—somewhat lighter than navy blue. The first American edition of _Sons and Lovers_ was published, from new plates, by Mitchell Kennerley, New York, 1913. (5) THE WIDOWING OF MRS. HOLROYD Published April 1, 1914 THE WIDOWING OF / MRS. HOLROYD / A Drama in Three Acts / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publisher’s device_) / New York / Mitchell Kennerley / MCMXIV COLLATION:—pp. x + 94 (preceded and followed by two blank leaves), consisting of fly-leaf, with series-title, _The Modern Drama Series_ / _Edited by Edwin Björkman_ at head, and _The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd_ / _D.

Crown 8vo, 7⅜ × 5; issued in red cloth; front cover has one-line border in blind, and is lettered in blind as follows: _The Modern Drama Series_ / _Edited by Edwin Björkman_ Backbone lettered across in gilt: _D.

All edges cut. End-papers white. The first of Mr. Lawrence’s two published plays. It is not generally realized that the American issue of _The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd_ preceded the English, which was, as a matter of fact, made from the Kennerley sheets. A not overly close examination of a Duckworth copy of this book will show that the fly-leaf with the series-title, etc. on recto, was cut out after the sheets had been sewed together. This accounts for the slight difference in the pagination of the two editions. Then, also, the matter on the reverse side of the Duckworth title-page clearly indicates that all of the sheets were American. The first edition of _The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd_ was one thousand copies. Five hundred of these were sent to Duckworth and Company, and were by this house bound in the dark blue “case” described below. There is no certain way of telling which of the two books is the scarcer; but I should not be surprised to find that copies of the American issue are the harder to come by—at least, in good state. The English book still performs the trick of turning up over here in quite new condition. (5A) THE WIDOWING OF MRS. HOLROYD Published April 1914 THE WIDOWING OF / MRS.

Lawrence / (_publishers’ device_) / London / Duckworth & Co. / 3 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden COLLATION:—pp. viii + 312, consisting of blank leaf, pp. (i, ii); half-title (with list of four books _By the Same Author_, enclosed in one-line box, in center of verso), pp. (iii, iv); title-page, as above (with _Published December 1914_ in center of verso), pp. (v, vi); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. (vii, viii); text, pp. (1)-310. Printers’ imprint at foot of p. 310 as follows: _William Brendon and Son, Ltd._ / _Printers, Plymouth_ Pp. (311, 312) are occupied by advertisements of four books _By D. H. Lawrence_. At end of volume there is 16-page, numbered but undated, catalogue of _A List of the Libraries_ / _and Series of Copyright_ / _Books Published by_ / _Duckworth & Co._ CONTENTS: The Prussian Officer; The Thorn in the Flesh; Daughters of the Vicar; A Fragment of Stained Glass; The Shades of Spring; Second Best; The Shadow in the Rose Garden; Goose Fair; The White Stocking; A Sick Collier; The Christening; Odour of Chrysanthemums. Crown 8vo, 7⁵⁄₁₆ × 4⅞; issued in dark blue cloth; front cover has two-line border in blind, and is lettered and ornamented in gilt as follows: _The Prussian Officer_ / (three dots) _D. H. Lawrence_ (three dots). Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (two lines at top) / _The_ / _Prussian_ / _Officer_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Duckworth_ / (two lines at bottom). Back cover has in lower left corner blind stamp of publishers’ device, but is otherwise blank. All edges cut. End-papers white. _The Prussian Officer_ was Mr. Lawrence’s first volume of short stories. The first edition of this book exists in two several issues. The difference between them is marked, not by the binding, but by the catalogues at the end of the volumes. One of these catalogues is described above; the other, twenty instead of sixteen pages, is: _A Selection from_ / _Duckworth & Co’s._ / _List of Publications_ The publishers were unable to say which catalogue was in the first issue, and showed what amounted to alarm that anyone should be interested in the matter. They evidently regarded their correspondent as mildly insane. Publishers are of two varieties: the sort who understand the collector not at all, and the sort who understand him too, too well. I have examined five copies of the book. All but one had the catalogue mentioned in this note. What deduction may safely be made from this? Perhaps, that copies of the issue which I have collated are the scarcer. But are they also necessarily the earlier? One may well have doubts about that. A somewhat detailed study of the two types of catalogues in Duckworth books between 1913 and 1916 is unfruitful, except to show that the catalogue mentioned in this discussion occurs in _Sons and Lovers_ (1913), and that in the collation above appears in _Amores_ (1916). But since the latter list seems to contain no book published after 1914, it might properly occupy space in a volume brought out in December of that year. The question of the real first issue of _The Prussian Officer_ must, therefore, remain unsettled. One thing is certain: both books here discussed are of the first edition. A later issue, in somewhat lighter blue cloth, lettered in black, must not be confused with either. The first American edition of _The Prussian Officer_ was published, from the Duckworth sheets, by B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1916. (7) THE RAINBOW Published September 30, 1915 THE RAINBOW / By / D. H. Lawrence / Author of “Sons and Lovers” / Methuen & Co. Ltd. / 36 Essex Street W. C. / London COLLATION:—pp. viii + 468, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _First Published in 1915_ in center of verso), pp. (iii, iv); dedication, _To Else_ (verso blank), pp. v, (vi); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. vii, (viii); text, pp. (1)-463. Printers’ imprint in center of p. (464) as follows: _Printed in Great Britain_ / _by Hazell, Watson and Viney, Ld.,_ / _London and Aylesbury._ P. (465) is occupied by list, dated _Autumn, 1915_, of _Methuen’s Popular Novels_ Pp. (466-468) are occupied by publishers’ brief résumés of the novels listed on p. (465). Crown 8vo, 7½ × 5; issued in bluish dark green cloth; front cover has one-line border in blind, and is lettered across top in blind as follows: _The Rainbow_ / _D. H. Lawrence_ Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (flower and leaf design) / _The_ / _Rainbow_ / (single flower design) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / (same design as at top, augmented by leaf) / _Methuen_ Back cover blank. Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. _The Rainbow_, universally considered by dealers and collectors alike Mr. Lawrence’s scarcest book, was published, according to _The English Catalogue_, in October, 1915. The publishers, however, said that the exact date of issue was September 30, 1915. And with that they stopped, for they seemed unwilling to give me any more information about the book. Altogether wry was the letter they wrote. But from other sources it is evident that _The Rainbow_ was in circulation just six weeks before action for its suppression was successfully carried on November 13, 1915. The curious may consult a communication by G. W. de Tunzelmann, published in the _Athenæum_, November 20, 1915, which, if accurate, fixes the date of suppression. Regarding the circumstances attending the action against the publishers, a letter by Mr. Gilbert Cannan, New York _Tribune_, January 10, 1920, is worth reading. Mr. Cannan asserts that after proceedings were brought “the publishers, taking alarm and not understanding what had happened, did not defend.” This is substantially what Mr. Lawrence says in his preface to the present volume. The upshot of it was the publishers were fined and ordered to destroy their stock of the book, after which, one may suppose, all went “on with the War.” Whether such copies as the publishers had on hand were committed to the tender mercies of the public hangman, I do not know. At any rate, it may be safely assumed that Methuen & Co., Ltd., complied fully with every mandate of the court, and that they distributed no copies of _The Rainbow_ after November 13, 1915. In his preface above Mr. Lawrence mentions the protests of Mr. Arnold Bennett and Miss May Sinclair against the suppression of _The Rainbow_. I regret my inability to give specific references to the time and place of these protests. But all indices failed me, and both Mr. Bennett and Miss Sinclair wrote that they could not now tell me where to look for their parts in the controversy. Both wrote against the suppression, but apparently in letters—not in special articles. In her reply to my inquiry Miss Sinclair gave this indication of her position: “I said that the suppression of this book was a crime, the murder of a beautiful thing.” The first American edition of _The Rainbow_ was published, from new plates, by B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1916. Subsequently Mr. Huebsch brought the book out in a more expensive form, but the text remained the same as that of the first American edition. These are the expurgated forms to which Mr. Lawrence refers. _The Rainbow_, with the Huebsch text, was published by Thomas Seltzer, New York, 1924. It will be seen from all this that the complete text of the novel which lies so close to the affections of its author is to be found only in copies like the one collated above. The Methuen _Rainbow_ is, I need hardly say, a very scarce book. Whether or not it is scarcer than the Heinemann _White Peacock_ must remain a matter of opinion. (8) TWILIGHT IN ITALY Published June 1916 TWILIGHT IN ITALY / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publishers’ device_) / London / Duckworth and Co. / 3 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, W. C. COLLATION:—pp. viii + 312, consisting of half-title (with list of six _Works by D. H. Lawrence_ at head of verso), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _First published 1916_ in center of verso), pp. (iii, iv); acknowledgement—three lines (verso blank), pp. v, (vi); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. vii, (viii); divisional fly-leaf, with _The Crucifix across the_ / _Mountains_ on recto (verso blank), pp. 1, (2); text, pp. 3-(311). Printers imprint at foot of p. (311) as follows: _Printed by R. & R. Clark, Limited, Edinburgh._ P. (312) blank. At end of volume are two separate 16-page catalogues: the first contains _Messrs. Duckworth & Co.’s_ / _Spring_ / _Announcements_ / _1916_ The second, _A List of the Libraries_ / _and Series of Copyright_ / _Books Published by_ / _Duckworth & Co._ There are divisional fly-titles before the major divisions of the work at pp. 1, 27, (223), (263). Pp. (2), (28), (222), (224), (262), (264) blank. CONTENTS: The Crucifix across the Mountains; On the Lago di Garda—I. The Spinner and the Monks, II. The Lemon Gardens, III. The Theatre, IV. San Gaudenzio, V. The Dance, VI. Il Duro, VII. John; Italians in Exile; The Return Journey. Crown 8vo, 7⁵⁄₁₆ × 4¾; issued in dark blue cloth; front cover has two-line border in blind, and is lettered and ornamented in gilt as follows: _Twilight in Italy_ / (three dots) _D. H. Lawrence_ (three dots). Backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (two lines at top) / _Twilight_ / _in_ / _Italy_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Duckworth_ / (two lines at bottom). Back cover has in lower left corner blind stamp of publishers’ device, but is otherwise blank. All edges cut. End-papers white. _Twilight in Italy_ was Mr. Lawrence’s first book of non-fictional prose. Copies of the first edition of this book are scarce, and they are exceedingly hard to get in fine condition. The cloth is usually faded and the gilt dull. I have seen at various times perhaps a half-dozen copies. They were all very much the same: that is to say, none was in fine state. I suspect the book never looked quite new, and that it is one of the many illustrations of how the War affected adversely workmanship in the bookmaking industry. Be that as it may, _Twilight in Italy_ is worth having in any condition. It should be more widely read. Like _Sea and Sardinia_, it is too often merely a name, even to admirers of Mr. Lawrence’s other work. The first American edition of _Twilight in Italy_ was published, from the Duckworth sheets, by B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1916. (9) AMORES Published July 1916 AMORES / Poems / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publishers’ device_) / London / Duckworth and Company / 3 Henrietta Street, W. C. COLLATION:—pp. viii + 140, consisting of title-page, as above (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); dedication, _To_ / _Ottoline Morrell_ (verso blank), pp. (iii, iv); table of _Contents_, pp. v-vii; p. (viii) blank; text, pp. 1-(138). Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. (138) as follows: _Printed by T. and A. Constable, Printers to His Majesty_ / _at the Edinburgh University Press_ Pp. (139, 140) blank. At end of volume there is 16-page, numbered but undated, catalogue of _A List of the Libraries_ / _and Series of Copyright_ / _Books Published by_ / _Duckworth & Co._ Crown 8vo, 7¼ × 4⅞; issued in dark blue cloth; front cover blank; backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt: (two lines at top) / _Amores_ / _Poems_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Duckworth_ / (two lines at bottom). Back cover has in lower left corner blind stamp of publishers’ device. Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. _Amores_, Mr. Lawrence’s second volume of poems, is a troublesome item. The first edition exists in two states. The first has the 16-page catalogue; the second does not. At no place in either issue is there a date. Copies with the catalogue would seem to be rare. At least I have so concluded after a sustained investigation. Copies without the catalogue are “easy,” and these are commonly sold—perhaps naturally enough—as of the first issue, which they are not. The first American edition of _Amores_ was published, from new plates, by B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1916. At least two differences between it and the above ought to be noted. First, in the American edition the dedication is extended, and reads: _To_ / _Ottoline Morrell_ / _in tribute_ / _to her noble_ / _and independent sympathy_ / _and her generous understanding_ / _these poems_ / _are gratefully dedicated_ / . Second, the poem called “Disagreeable Advice” in the above, appears in the American edition under the happier title “Irony.” (10) LOOK! WE HAVE COME THROUGH! Published December 1917 LOOK! WE HAVE / COME THROUGH! / By / D. H. Lawrence / Published by Chatto & Windus / London MCMXVII COLLATION:—pp. 168, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _Some of these poems have appeared in_ / _the “English Review” and in “Poetry,”_ / _also in the “Georgian Anthology” and_ / _the “Imagist Anthology”_ above center of verso), pp. (3, 4); _Foreword_—eleven lines (verso blank), pp. (5, 6); table of _Contents_, pp. (7-9); _Argument_—eleven lines, p. (10); text, pp. 11-(163). Printers’ imprint above center of p. (164) as follows: _Printed at_ / _the Complete Press_ / _West Norwood_ / _London_. Pp. (165-167) are occupied by advertisements, chiefly of volumes of poetry published by Chatto and Windus. P. (168) blank. Title-and-name label, similar to that described below, tipped-in at lower right corner of p. (164). Foolscap 4to, 8½ × 6¾; issued in bright red cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone has white paper title-and-name label lettered across in red as follows: _Look!_ / _We Have_ / _Come_ / _Through!_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ Top edges cut; fore edges cut, but in part unopened; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. _Look! We Have Come Through!_ was Mr. Lawrence’s third volume of verse. It is, with the doubtful exception of _Birds, Beasts and Flowers_, his most notably original contribution to modern poetry. The relative scarcity of copies of the first edition of _Look! We Have Come Through!_ is discussed in the note on _Love Poems_, and nothing more on that point need be said here. The first American edition of _Look! We Have Come Through!_ was published, from the Chatto and Windus sheets, by B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1918. (11) NEW POEMS Published October 1918 NEW POEMS / By / D. H. / Lawrence / London / Martin Secker / MCMXVIII COLLATION:—pp. 64, consisting of half-title (with list of three books of _Poems by the Same Author_ at head; and acknowledgement, _Two of these poems have appeared in the English Review._ at foot of verso), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with dedication, _To_ / _Amy Lowell_ at head; and printers’ imprint, _Printed in England by the Westminster Press_ / _411a, Harrow Road, London_ at foot of verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_, pp. 5, 6; text, 7-64. Crown 8vo, 7½ × 4⅞; issued in grey wrappers; front cover has two-line border in blue, and is lettered in blue as follows: _New_ / _Poems_ / _By_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _London_ / _Martin Secker_ / _MCMXVIII_ (All this lettering enclosed by elongated box formed by two vertical lines inside border). Inside front cover, back strip, inside back cover are blank. Back cover lettered in blue as follows: (Publisher’s device, with name, _Martin Secker_) / _xvii Buckingham Street_ / _Adelphi_ Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. The first edition of _New Poems_ was printed on what must have been almost the worst of all possible war-time paper; and since, in addition, the book lacked the security of a substantial “case,” I suspect this item will before long become scarce. The first American edition of _New Poems_ was published, from new plates, by B. W. Huebsch, New York, 1920. This edition, too, has an interest for the Lawrence collector; it contains a significant prefatory essay, which is not in the English issue, and which, Mr. Lawrence says, “should have come as a preface to _Look! We Have Come Through!_” This “Preface” is notable for its lucid and brilliant comment on the nature of poetry. One finds Mr. Lawrence recurring to some of the tenets here expressed, when on those too few later occasions he has commented on the poetry of others, more especially on that of Whitman. This essay first appeared in _The Playboy_, Numbers 4-5 (not dated), under the title “The Poetry of the Present.” (12) BAY: A BOOK OF POEMS Published November 1919 BAY (_two dots_) A BOOK / OF (_two dots_) POEMS (_two dots_) By / D : H : Lawrence COLLATION:—pp. 48 (together with tipped-in dedication leaf), consisting of half-title, _Bay_ / (signed in ink by Author and Artist:) _D.

(ii); title-page, as above (verso blank), pp. (3, 4); dedication leaf; table of _Contents_, pp. (5-7); p. (8) blank; text, pp. 9-43; p. (44) blank; colophon as follows: _HERE ENDS BAY A BOOK OF POEMS BY_ / _D. H.

Beaumont_ / _Printed by Hand on his Press at 75 Charing_ / _Cross Road in the City of Westminster_ / _Completed November the Twentieth_ / _MDCCCCXIX_ / (device of the Beaumont Press) / _Pressman Charles Wright_ / _Compositor C. W. Beaumont_, p. 45; pp. (46-48) blank. Pp. 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 29, 39, 41 are occupied by decorations in color, as well as by text. Tipped-in between pp. (4) and (5) is a leaf, not reckoned in pagination, with dedication _To Cynthia Asquith_ on recto, verso blank. Crown 8vo, 7½ × 5⅛; issued in decorated boards, with vellum back; front and back covers blank; lettered up the back strip in gilt as follows: (small ornament) _Bay_ (dot) _D. H. Lawrence_ (small ornament). Top edges rough trimmed; fore and bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. The three forms of _Bay_ are fully described in the collation above, except as to the following points: (1) the copies on cartridge paper, with decorations in color, have a green buckram back; (2) the copies on hand-made paper have the same green buckram back, but the decorations are not in color; (3) owing to an accident, only about half of the cartridge paper edition was ever issued. All examples of this book are scarce. And this is a great pity, for _Bay_ contains some of Mr. Lawrence’s finest short poems. (13) TOUCH AND GO Published May 1920 TOUCH AND GO / A Play in Three Acts by / D. H. Lawrence / London: C. W. Daniel, Ltd. / Graham House, Tudor Street, E. C. 4 / 1920 COLLATION:—pp. 96, consisting of fly-leaf, with series-title, _Plays for a People’s Theatre. II._ at head, and half-title, _Touch and Go_ in center of recto (with _Copyright in the United States of America._, and notice of performing rights—seven lines in all—in center of verso), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with list of three _Plays for a People’s Theatre_, note on submission of mss. of plays, and quotation from Bela Kun—fourteen lines in all—on verso), pp. (3, 4); _Preface_, pp. 5-12; blank page (with list of _Characters_ on verso), pp. (13), 14; text, pp. 15-96. Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. 96 as follows: _Printed in Great Britain by Neill and Co., Ltd., Edinburgh._ Crown 8vo, 7⅝ × 5; issued in flexible yellow boards; front cover has light blue paper title-and-name label lettered in darker blue of surrounding decorative border as follows: _Touch_ / _& Go_ / _D. H. Lawrence_. Light blue paper title-and-name label along back lettered in dark blue: _Touch and Go—D. H. Lawrence_. Back cover blank. Top and fore edges uncut and unopened; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. _Touch and Go_ is one of the easier Lawrence items. It is not difficult to get, but it _is_ quite worth having. The play is interesting; the preface is extremely uproarious. The first American edition of _Touch and Go_ was published, from new plates, by Thomas Seltzer, New York, 1920. (14) WOMEN IN LOVE (Limited Edition) Published November 1920 WOMEN IN LOVE / By / D. H. Lawrence / New York / Privately Printed for Subscribers Only / 1920 COLLATION:—pp. iv + 540, consisting of half-title, p.

Lawrence_ / (a line) / _All rights reserved_ in center of verso), pp. (iii, iv); divisional half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); text, pp. (3)-536; pp. (537-540) blank. There is no printer’s imprint. Medium 8vo, 9½ × 6¼; issued in dark blue cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone has four merely ornamental raised bands, and is lettered across in gilt as follows: (two lines at top) / _Women_ / _in_ / _Love_ / (a line) / _D. H. Lawrence_ / (two lines at bottom). Top and fore edges uncut; bottom edges rough trimmed. End-papers white. The “tall, blue _Women in Love_.” In this form Mr. Lawrence’s most significant and most characteristic novel had its first restricted circulation. Copies of this issue are not very scarce. Just why is difficult to say. Perhaps the edition was not fully bought up (however much it deserved to be) when the novel was published in a cheaper form by Mr. Seltzer, October, 1922. A few (less than twenty-five) copies of this form of _Women in Love_ were autographed, on the title-page, by Mr. Lawrence. These signed copies were the first numbered, and except for the signature, are identical with the above. They should not be confused with examples of the autographed form of _Women in Love_ described below as item 14B. (14A) WOMEN IN LOVE Published May 1921 WOMEN IN LOVE / By D. H. Lawrence / London / Martin Secker / Number Five John Street Adelphi COLLATION:—pp. 512, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _London: Martin Secker (Ltd.), 1921_ at foot of verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. 5, (6); text, pp. 7-508. Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. 508 as follows: _Printed in Great Britain by_ / _The Dunedin Press Limited, Edinburgh_ Pp.

Crown 8vo, 7½ × 5; issued in brown cloth; front cover, unlettered, has in blind two-line border, inside line thicker than outside; backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt as follows: (one thin, one thick line at top) / _Women in_ / _Love_ / (dot) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Secker_ / (one thick, one thin line at bottom). Back cover same as front. Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. Uniform with _The Lost Girl_. The first English edition of _Women in Love_. This edition, which was from new plates, has been reprinted at least three times. Copies of the first printing are becoming scarce. Catalogues sometimes allege that this edition was “withdrawn from circulation.” Mr. Secker says that it was not.

There is no printer’s imprint. Medium 8vo, 9³⁄₁₆ × 6¼; issued in brown cloth; front cover, unlettered, has in blind two-line border, inside line thicker than outside; backbone ornamented and lettered in gilt as follows: (one thin, one thick line at top) / _Women in_ / _Love_ / _(dot)_ / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _1920_ / (one thick, one thin line at bottom). Back cover same as front. Top edges dark green and cut; fore and bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. This small edition of _Women in Love_ was done by Martin Secker, who imported the sheets for it from America. These sheets were the same as those printed for item 14, which was, of course, brought out by Thomas Seltzer, but without his imprint. Except for size, copies of this edition of _Women in Love_ are uniform with the Secker format of Mr. Lawrence’s novels, beginning with _The Lost Girl_ and followed by the ordinary _Women in Love_ described immediately above. Before the Seltzer sheets were put into the Secker “case,” they were trimmed about five-sixteenths of an inch at the top by the English binders. This accounts for the slightly greater height of the copies in the blue “case.” I mention this because the signed copies in brown are sometime described as the tall-paper copies. Obviously any such description of the Secker book needs qualifying. All this may be summed up as follows: all forms of the “1920” issues of _Women in Love_, whether signed or not, whether bound in blue or brown, were from the sheets of the Seltzer privately printed edition. To this summary may be appended the following observations: (1) these “1920” forms constitute the real first printing of _Women in Love_; (2) this is one of the two books which Mr. Lawrence has thus far signed—and the only novel. (15) THE LOST GIRL Published November 1920 THE LOST GIRL / By D. H. Lawrence / London / Martin Secker / Number Five John Street Adelphi COLLATION:—pp. 372, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _London: Martin Secker (Ltd.), 1920_ at foot of verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. 5, (6); text, pp. 7-371. Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. (372) as follows: _Printed in Great Britain by_ / _The Dunedin Press Limited, Edinburgh_ Crown 8vo, 7½ × 5; issued in brown cloth; front cover, unlettered, has in blind two-line border, inside line thicker than outside; backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt as follows: (one thin, one thick line at top) / _The Lost_ / _Girl_ / (dot) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Secker_ / (one thick, one thin line at bottom). Back cover same as front. Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. The first edition of _The Lost Girl_ exists in three states. These are: first, that which has the text exactly as Mr. Lawrence first wrote it; second, that which has the original text altered, the alterations occurring on two cancel-leaves, which, tipped-in, replaced two leaves with the original matter; third, that which has the altered pages not tipped-in, but as integral parts of the signatures to which they belong. It is not generally known that any changes were made in the text of _The Lost Girl_ after the book had been printed, but such is the case. These textual changes were made on pages 256 and 268, and necessitated tipped-in leaves at those places in the book. The cancel-leaves have been held, by a few careful dealers, to mark the real first issue. To most dealers this “point” is evidently unknown. Mr. Martin Secker, answering my inquiry about the changes in this book, wrote as follows: “The explanation of the tipped-in pages in _The Lost Girl_ is that it was thought expedient to make certain verbal alterations in the text, a decision which was come to after the book was printed. As far as I know, all copies of the English edition in circulation are like this.” This letter would seem to justify anyone in assuming that copies with the tipped-in leaves were of the first issue. But, as a matter of fact, copies with the original text are extant. At least one such copy has fallen into my hands. It came from an English dealer through the Centaur Book Shop. I have neither seen nor have I heard of another such copy. But that some few more are in circulation is likely. In any case this is certain: the unaltered form of _The Lost Girl_ is a scarce book, perhaps even a rare one. So much for the first and second states. Regarding the third state, little need be said. One might be justified in reporting it as a second printing; but since there is nothing in the book to indicate a complete reprinting, it seemed better to regard it as one form of the first edition, as I have done. The first American edition of _The Lost Girl_, which has the altered text, was published, from new plates, by Thomas Seltzer, New York, 1921. (16) MOVEMENTS IN EUROPEAN HISTORY Published March 1921 MOVEMENTS IN / EUROPEAN HISTORY / By / Lawrence H. Davison / Humphrey Milford / Oxford University Press / London, Edinburgh, Glasgow / Toronto, Melbourne, Cape Town, Bombay / 1921 [Illustration] COLLATION:—pp. x (preceded by blank leaf) + 306 (followed by fourteen pages of maps), consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (verso blank), pp. (iii, iv); _Introduction for the Teacher_, pp. v-viii; table of _Contents_ (with list of fourteen _Maps_ on verso), pp. ix, (x); text, pp. (1)-306. Printers’ imprint, beneath line, at foot of p. 306 as follows: _Edinburgh: Printed by T. and A. Constable Ltd._ At end of volume are fourteen maps, in black, which occupy the rectos of fourteen leaves, twelve of which are book-size, and two of which are 9¾ inches wide unfolded. Crown 8vo, 7⅛ × 4⅞; issued in light blue cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone lettered across in black as follows: _Movements_ / _in_ / _European_ / _History_ / _Davison_ / _Milford_ All edges cut. End-papers white. _Movements in European History_, written by Mr. Lawrence and published under the _nom de plume_ Lawrence H. Davison, is in effect an elementary textbook on the history of continental Europe from the beginning of the Christian era to the unification of Germany. But it is more than that. To say that the book is alive, that it interprets rather than catalogues historical events, that it deals with these events frankly rather than cautiously, that it is written with spirit and can be read with pleasure, and, finally, to assert that nowhere about the book does one smell pedagogy, is to say in a variety of ways that _Movements in European History_ is very much more than an elementary textbook. The initial edition of this interesting item exists in two forms. The first is described above; the second differs from the first in that it has a light brown binding, all other points being identical. The initial printing was exhausted the first year, and the book was reprinted in 1922. Both first forms differ in several ways from the reprint, which has, on the verso of an undated title-page, a line of type as follows: _First published 1921; reprinted 1922_ At the time this note is written (late September, 1924) plans are on foot to reissue _Movements_ with an epilogue and illustrations. The former will presumably bring the story of European history down to the present. In its new form, as in its old, the book will in England bear the imprint of the Oxford University Press. The first American edition of _Movements in European History_ will probably be published next spring, with Mr. Lawrence’s authorship acknowledged, by Thomas Seltzer, New York.

Lawrence / (_publisher’s device_) / New York / Thomas Seltzer / 1921 COLLATION:—pp. 120 (preceded by two blank leaves), consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1921, by_ / _Thomas Seltzer, Inc._ / (a line) / _All rights reserved_ / _Printed in the United States of America_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. (5, 6); divisional half-title (verso blank), pp. (7, 8); text, pp. 9-120. There is no printer’s imprint. Crown 8vo, 7⁵⁄₁₆ × 5; issued in grey boards; front cover lettered in dark blue as follows: _Psychoanalysis_ / _and the_ / _Unconscious_ / (a line) / _D. H. Lawrence_ Backbone lettered across in dark blue: _Psycho-_ / _analysis_ / _and the_ / _Uncon-_ / _scious_ / (a line) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Thomas_ / _Seltzer_ Back cover blank. All edges cut. End-papers white. (17B) PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE UNCONSCIOUS Published July 1923 PSYCHOANALYSIS AND / THE UNCONSCIOUS / By D. H. Lawrence / London / Martin Secker / Number Five John Street Adelphi COLLATION:—pp. 128, consisting of half-title (with list of eight books _By the same Author_ on verso), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _London: Martin Secker (Ltd.) 1923_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. 5, (6); divisional half-title (verso blank), pp. (7, 8); text, pp. 9-(128). Printers’ imprint at foot of p. (128) as follows: _Printed in Great Britain by Butler & Tanner, Frome and London_ Crown 8vo, 7¼ × 4¾; issued in garnet cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone has cream paper title-and-name label lettered across in red as follows: (a line) / _Psychoanalysis_ / _and the_ / _Unconscious_ / (a line) / _D. H. Lawrence_ / (a line) / _Secker_ / (a line). Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges rough trimmed. End-papers white. The American edition of _Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious_, which was the first, exists in two forms. I collated both the so-called “Special Issue” and the ordinary edition because I know that many collectors, as well as some dealers, have been puzzled about the first forms of this book. A comparison of items 17 and 17A will show that the two forms of the first edition of _Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious_ differ in the following respects: first, the “Special Issue” has a certificate of issue on the verso of the half-title, but is on the inside otherwise identical with the ordinary form—even to the broken U on page nine, in the word “Unconscious;” second, the sheets of the “Special Issue” measure 7⅜ × 5, while those of the ordinary issue measure 7⁵⁄₁₆ × 5; third, in keeping with this difference, perhaps, the outside measurements of the “Special Issue” are slightly larger all around; fourth, the boards of the two forms are different in color; fifth, the lettering on the “Special Issue” is darker than that on the ordinary copies. Just why the “Special Issue” was done is not exactly clear. Perhaps some plans with regard to it miscarried, and the idea of a real limited edition was given up. At any rate the five copies of the book I examined were all unnumbered, and the original price on them was that of the regular edition. It is not too much to say the limited “Special Issue” of _Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious_ is freakish rather than any thing else. It is a collector’s item. After the first edition of this book had been exhausted, Mr. Seltzer issued the second printing in a more substantial “case,” that is to say, in cloth, in which form it is now available. It will be noticed from the collations above that the first American edition preceded the corresponding English edition by more than two years. In spite of all that critics have said or may say about _Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious_ and its successor, _Fantasia of the Unconscious_, one thing is clearly incontrovertible. It is this: both of these books, especially the latter, reveal flashes of illumination, such as are found in imaginative thought—and nowhere else. (18) TORTOISES Published December 9, 1921 TORTOISES / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publisher’s device_—in red) / New York / Thomas Seltzer / 1921 COLLATION:—pp. 50, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1921, by_ / _Thomas Seltzer, Inc._ / (a line) / _All rights reserved_ / _Printed in the United States of America_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. (5, 6); fly-leaf, with _Baby Tortoise_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (7, 8); text, pp. 9-50 (page numbers in square brackets). There is no printer’s imprint. There are fly-leaves, which mark the divisions of the work, at pp. (7), (15), (21), (27), (37), (43). Pp. (8), (14), (16), (20), (22), (28), (36), (38), (42), (44) blank. CONTENTS: Baby Tortoise; Tortoise-Shell; Tortoise Family Connections; Lui et Elle; Tortoise Gallantry; Tortoise Shout. Small medium 8vo, 9 × 6; issued in old gold boards; front cover has picture in many colors; in right of foreground giant tortoise is suspended, in framework of heavy timbers, by rope around his middle; in the middle-ground and background, showing through heavy-timbered frame, is one of Hiroshige’s views of Fujiyama, the whole being a reproduction of a print by this artist; front cover lettered in black in imitation Chinese lettering as follows: _Tortoises_ / _by_ / _D. H. Lawrence_ Backbone has white paper title-and-name label lettered in black: (vertical line) _Tortoises—D. H. Lawrence_ (vertical line). Back cover blank. Top edges cut; fore edges uncut and unopened; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. This is the first and only separate edition of _Tortoises_, which book has never been published in single-volume form in England. Its first appearance there between boards was in _Birds, Beasts and Flowers_, where it occupies pages 117-138. Although this item is still easy to come by, Lawrence collectors who haven’t it will do well to get copies soon. Already English catalogues list _Tortoises_ at a price considerably in advance of the American publication price. Naturally the book is less common in England than here. (19) SEA AND SARDINIA Published December 12, 1921 SEA AND SARDINIA / By / D. H. Lawrence / With Eight Pictures / in Color by / Jan Juta / (_publisher’s device_—in red) / New York / Thomas Seltzer / 1921 COLLATION:—pp. 356 (together with frontispiece and seven pages of illustrations in color, by Jan Juta; and _Map for Sea and Sardinia_, by D. H. Lawrence), consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); frontispiece; title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1921, by_ / _Thomas Seltzer, Inc._ / (a line) / _All rights reserved_ / _Printed in the United States of America_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. (5, 6); _List of Illustrations_ (verso blank), pp. (7, 8); divisional half-title, pp. (9, 10); text, pp. 11-355; p. (356) blank. There is no printer’s imprint. Pp. (3), 100, 148, 180, 204, 236, 268, 300 are faced by illustrations in color tipped-in, all with protecting tissue. P. 44 is faced by map, in black. Medium 8vo, 9¼ × 6¼; issued in light green boards with yellow cloth back, approximating half-cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone has light green paper title-and-name label lettered across in dark blue as follows: _Sea_ / _and_ / _Sardinia_ / (small ornament) / _By_ / _D. H. Lawrence_ / (small ornament) / _Thomas Seltzer_ (all surrounded by one-line box). Top edges cut; fore and bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. _Sea and Sardinia_ was Mr. Lawrence’s second volume of travel sketches—only “travel” and “sketches” are not quite the words needed here. In any case, a glorious book. Something will be gained if all persons ignorant of _Sea and Sardinia_ (and _Twilight in Italy_) stop pretending to a full knowledge of Mr. Lawrence’s prose. Because the book has nowhere had the reading it deserves, the first issues of _Sea and Sardinia_, both American and English, are still relatively easy to get. (19A) SEA AND SARDINIA Published April 1923 SEA AND SARDINIA / By D. H. Lawrence / With Eight Pictures / in Colour by Jan Juta / London / Martin Secker / Number Five John Street Adelphi COLLATION:—pp. 304 (together with frontispiece and seven pages of illustrations in color, by Jan Juta), consisting of blank leaf, pp. (1, 2); half-title (with list of five books _By the same Author_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); frontispiece; title-page, as above (with _London: Martin Secker (Ltd.), 1923_ at foot of verso), pp. (5, 6); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. (7, 8); _List of Illustrations_ (verso blank), pp. (9, 10); divisional half-title (verso blank), pp. (11, 12); text, pp. 13-301. Printers’ imprint, beneath thin line, at foot of p. 301 as follows: _Printed by the London and Norwich Press, Limited, London and Norwich_ Pp. (302-304) are occupied respectively by advertisements of books by D. H. Lawrence; by Norman Douglas; and by Lascelles Abercrombie. Pp. (5), 112, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 240 are faced by tipped-in illustrations in color. Foolscap 4to, 8½ × 6¾; issued in brown cloth; front cover, unlettered, has in blind two-line border, inside line thicker than outside; backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt as follows: (one thin, one thick line at top) / _Sea and_ / _Sardinia_ / (dot) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Secker_ / (one thick, one thin line at bottom). Back cover same as front. Inside covers, front and back, are occupied by same _Map for Sea and Sardinia_, in brown, drawn by D. H. Lawrence. Top edges very dark green and cut; fore and bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. Except for size, the English edition of _Sea and Sardinia_ is uniform with the Seeker format of Mr. Lawrence’s novels, beginning with _The Lost Girl_. It is a beautiful book. Indeed, taken merely as a book, this is perhaps the most beautiful Lawrence item. (20) AARON’S ROD Published April 1922 AARON’S ROD / By / D. H. Lawrence / (_publisher’s device_) / New York / Thomas Seltzer / 1922 COLLATION:—pp. 348, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1922, by_ / _Thomas Seltzer, Inc._ / (a line) / _All rights reserved_ / _Printed in the United States of America_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. (5, 6); text, pp. 7-347; p.

The text of the English edition, except for the omission of the “Epilogue,” which is addressed particularly to America, is the same as that of item 21.

(22A) ENGLAND, MY ENGLAND Published January 1924 ENGLAND, MY / ENGLAND / By D. H. Lawrence / London / Martin Secker / Number Five John Street Adelphi COLLATION:—pp. 242, consisting of half-title and signature _A_ (with list of eleven books _By the same Author_ on verso), pp. (1, 2); title-page, as above (with _London: Martin Secker (Ltd.), 1924_ on verso), pp. (3, 4); table of _Contents_ (verso blank), pp. 5, (6); fly-title, _England, My England_ (verso blank), pp. (7, 8); text, pp. 9-242.

Crown 8vo, 7½ × 5; issued in brown cloth; front cover, unlettered, has in blind two-line border, inside line thicker than outside; backbone ornamented and lettered across in gilt as follows: (one thin, one thick line at top) / _England_, / _My England_ / (dot) / _D. H._ / _Lawrence_ / _Secker_ / (one thick, one thin line at bottom). Back cover same as front. Top and fore edges cut; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. Uniform with _The Lost Girl_. _England, My England_ was Mr. Lawrence’s second volume of short stories. It came almost eight years after the first. However, the long interval between _The Prussian Officer_ and this second collection would seem to have less significance in his career as a writer of short stories than some reviewers of _England, My England_ tried to make out. At any rate, the title story of the latter volume appeared in the _English Review_ in October, 1915, and some of the other stories were published several years before their appearance in book form. All this as may be, _England, My England_ is a Lawrence item of great importance. The book is still “easy” in either the American or the English first form.

Top edges gilt; fore edges uncut and unopened; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. Five volumes of _Georgian Poetry_ have so far been published. All but one of these volumes, that for 1916-1917, contain contributions by Mr. Lawrence. He is represented in the above collection, at pages 113-116, by “Snap-Dragon,” a poem which was printed in the _English Review_, June 1912, but which appeared for the first time between boards in _Georgian Poetry_. It was later included in _Amores_. In America, the five volumes of _Georgian Poetry_ were published, from the Poetry Bookshop sheets, by G. P. Putnam’s Sons. GEORGIAN POETRY: 1913-1915 Published November 1915 GEORGIAN / POETRY / 1913-1915 / (_six small ornaments in triangular arrangement_) / The Poetry Bookshop / 35 Devonshire St. Theobalds Rd. / London W.

To the second volume of _Georgian Poetry_ Mr. Lawrence contributed the following poems: “Service of All the Dead;” “Meeting among the Mountains;” “Cruelty and Love.” They occupy pages 153-158. The last was reprinted from _Love Poems_; the first was later included in _Look! We Have Come Through!_ where it appeared under the title “Giorno dei Morti.” “Meeting among the Mountains” has not, unless I am mistaken, been included in any of Mr. Lawrence’s books of verse. SOME IMAGIST POETS Published April 1915 SOME IMAGIST / POETS / An Anthology / (_publishers’ device_) / Boston and New York / Houghton Mifflin Company / The Riverside Press Cambridge / 1915 COLLATION:—pp. ii + x + 96, consisting of leaf, not reckoned in pagination, recto blank (with seven titles in _The New Poetry Series_, surrounded by one-line border, on verso), pp. (i, ii); half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1915, By Houghton Mifflin Company_ / _All Rights Reserved_ / _Published April 1915_ on verso), pp. (iii, iv); _Preface_, pp. v-(viii); table of _Contents_, pp. ix, (x); divisional fly-leaf, with _Richard Aldington_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); text, pp. 3-(92); divisional fly-leaf, with _Bibliography_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (93, 94); _Bibliography_, p.

A_ Crown 8vo, 7¾ × 5⅝; issued in plain flexible boards, with surrounding green paper wrappers glued along back strip only; front cover lettered in black as follows: _Some Imagist Poets_ / _An Anthology_ / _The New Poetry Series_ / (publishers’ device) _Houghton Mifflin Company_ / _Boston and New York_ / (small ornament). Lettered down backstrip: _Some Imagist Poets_ Back cover blank. All edges cut flush with boards. Wrappers over-lap top and bottom edges ⅛ inch, and fold in three inches at fore edges of boards. End-papers white. To this volume, the first of three _Imagist Anthologies_ published by the Houghton Mifflin Company, Mr. Lawrence contributed seven poems as follows: “Ballad of Another Ophelia;” “Illicit;” “Fireflies in the Corn;” “A Woman and Her Dead Husband;” “The Mowers;” “Scent of Irises;” “Green.” These poems occupy pages 67 to 78. The first and sixth appeared later in _Amores_. The second, third, fifth, and seventh were included in _Look! We Have Come Through!_ But, “The Mowers,” revised, was here printed under the title “A Youth Mowing,” and “Illicit” became “On a Balcony.” “A Woman and Her Dead Husband” is, in _New Poems_, “The Bitterness of Death.” Because the contributors to the _Imagist Anthologies_ had agreed among themselves to submit nothing that had previously appeared in book form, these collections are of especial interest to collectors of Mr. Lawrence’s first printings in books. The _Imagist Anthologies_ were published in England by Constable and Company, but after the American editions, which were the first. SOME IMAGIST POETS: 1916 Published May 1916 SOME IMAGIST POETS / 1916 / (_a line_) / An Annual Anthology / (_publishers’ device_) / Boston and New York / Houghton Mifflin Company / The Riverside Press Cambridge / 1916 COLLATION:—pp. ii + xvi + 98, consisting of leaf, not reckoned in pagination, recto blank (with thirteen titles in _The New Poetry Series_ on verso), pp. (i, ii); half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1916, By Houghton Mifflin Company_ / _All Rights Reserved_ / _Published May 1916_ on verso), pp. (iii, iv); _Preface_, pp. v-(xii); table of _Contents_, pp. xiii, (xiv); acknowledgement—ten lines (verso blank), pp. (xv, xvi); divisional fly-leaf, with _Richard Aldington_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); text, pp. 3-(91); p.

Wrappers over-lap top and bottom edges ⅛ inch, and fold in three inches at fore edges of boards. End-papers white. To the second _Imagist Anthology_ Mr. Lawrence contributed five poems: “Erinnyes;” “Perfidy;” “At the Window;” “In Trouble and Shame;” “Brooding Grief.” These poems occupy pages 67-74. All but “Erinnyes,” most beautiful of war poems, were later included in _Amores_. Any one of the many anthologies of war poetry might have enriched itself greatly by including “Erinnyes.” If any such collection did make use of this poem, I am unaware of it. SOME IMAGIST POETS: 1917 Published April 1917 SOME IMAGIST POETS / 1917 / (_a line_) / An Annual Anthology / (_publishers’ device_) / Boston and New York / Houghton Mifflin Company / The Riverside Press Cambridge / 1917 COLLATION:—pp. viii + 92, consisting of half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above (with _Copyright, 1917, By Houghton Mifflin Company_ / _All Rights Reserved_ / _Published April 1917_ on verso), pp. (iii, iv); acknowledgement—eight lines (verso blank), pp. (v, vi); table of _Contents_, pp. vii, (viii); divisional fly-leaf, with _Richard Aldington_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (1, 2); text, pp. 3-(86); divisional fly-leaf, with _Bibliography_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (87, 88); _Bibliography_, pp. 89, (90); p.

To this representative collection of modern verse, prose, and pictures Mr. Lawrence contributed two poems: “Labour Battalion” and “No News,” which occupy pages 37-39. So far as I am aware neither of these poems has been reprinted in any of Mr. Lawrence’s books of poems. It is likely that the edition of _New Paths_ was small, for this book has already become scarce—at least for an anthology. An American edition of _New Paths_ was published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1918. BOOK OF BRITISH VERSE BOOK OF BRITISH VERSE. Edited by W. S. Braithwaite. Boston, 1919. (Small, Maynard and Company.) Contains: “Kisses in the Train,” by Mr. Lawrence.

W. / London (_two vertical lines_) Paris A note must suffice to describe this very beautiful anthology of English and French verse, prose, woodcuts, etchings, etc. The edition of _The New Keepsake_ was limited to 620 copies for general distribution; 50 copies on Japanese vellum, numbered from 1 to 50; 20 copies on blue vellum, numbered from 51 to 70; 550 copies on hand-made paper, numbered from 71 to 620. The blue vellum copies were bound in black buckram, lettered in pink; those on hand-made paper were done in yellow buckram, lettered in black. I have not seen a copy of this book on Japanese vellum. Copies on this and blue vellum are, in the nature of things, now very scarce; but the cheapest form of the book can still be bought from dealers at a nominal advance over publication price, which was 18s. 6d. “Adolf,” Mr. Lawrence’s contribution to _The New Keepsake_, occupies pages 19-33. It is a beautiful story—one which should certainly find a place in some future collection of his shorter pieces. “Adolf” was published in the _Dial_, September, 1920. THE GENTLEMAN FROM SAN FRANCISCO 1922 THE GENTLEMAN FROM / SAN FRANCISCO / AND OTHER STORIES / By / I. A. Bunin / Translated from the Russian by / S. S.

P. (87) is occupied by list of _Previous Publications_ of the Hogarth Press; p. (88) has announcements of _Forthcoming Publications_ of the same. On title-page is tipped-in an erratum _Note_ as follows: _The first story in this book “The Gentleman_ / _from San Francisco” is translated by D. H._ / _Lawrence and S. S. Koteliansky. Owing to_ / _a mistake Mr. Lawrence’s name has been_ / _omitted from the title-page. The three other_ / _stories are translated by S. S.

Crown 8vo, 7⅝ × 5; issued in light blue boards, with natural linen cloth back; front and back covers blank; backbone has white paper title-and-name label lettered across in dark blue as follows: _The New_ (small ornament) / _Decameron_ / (small ornament) / _Compton Mackenzie_ / _J. D. Beresford_ / _D. H. Lawrence_ / _Michael Sadleir_ / _Robert Keable_ / _and Others_ / (small ornament). Top edges unopened; fore edges uncut and in part unopened; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. Three volumes of _The New Decameron_, an interesting anthology of modern prose tales, have thus far been published. To the third of these volumes Mr. Lawrence contributed one of the greatest of his short stories—“Wintry Peacock,” which occupies pages 123-146. Although this story was included in _England, My England_, its first appearance between boards was as a part of the above collection. Mr. Lawrence did not contribute to the first two volumes of _The New Decameron_. GEORGIAN STORIES GEORGIAN STORIES. Selected by E. M. London, 1922. (Chapman and Hall.)

Crown 8vo, 7½ × 5; issued in batik boards, with dark blue cloth back, approximating half-cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone lettered across in gilt as follows: _Stories_ / _from the_ / _Dial_ / (small ornament) / (publisher’s device) / _The Dial Press_ Top edges yellow and cut; fore and bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers fawn-colored. Mr. Lawrence is represented in this volume by “Rex,” a dog story, which was published in the _Dial_, February, 1921. The appendix of _Stories from the Dial_ gives brief accounts of the authors represented in the anthology, together with check-lists of their principal works. The bibliographical note on Mr. Lawrence is very inaccurate. MEMOIRS OF THE FOREIGN LEGION Published September 1924 MEMOIRS OF THE / FOREIGN LEGION / By / M. M. / With an Introduction by / D. H. Lawrence / 1924 / (_a line_) / London: Martin Secker COLLATION:—pp. 320, consisting of two blank leaves, pp. (1-4); half-title (verso blank), pp. (5, 6); title-page, as above (with _London: Martin Secker (Ltd.)_ / _1924_ at foot of verso), pp. (7, 8); divisional fly-leaf, with _Introduction_ on recto (verso blank), pp. (9, 10); _Introduction_, pp. 11-94; pp. (95, 96) blank; divisional half-title, with signature _G_ (verso blank), pp. (97, 98); _Publisher’s Note_—in all eight lines (verso blank), pp. (99, 100); text, pp. 101-(320).

Top edges red and cut; fore edges rough trimmed; bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white. To this volume Mr. Lawrence contributed a long and brilliant introduction; presumably, the editorial responsibility for the book was also largely his—in all, an item of the first importance. THE SHORT STORY’S MUTATIONS THE SHORT STORY’S MUTATIONS. Frances Newman. New York, 1924. (B. W. Huebsch.) Contains: “The Shades of Spring,” by Mr. Lawrence. This story was reprinted from _The Prussian Officer_. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERIODICALS * The notes in this section, so far as they assign or do not assign the various contributions to Mr. Lawrence’s books, must be understood to refer to titles rather than to the selections themselves. No consistent effort has been made to ascertain how many of the unassigned contributions appear in the books under new titles. Some do so appear and are noted, but my knowledge of them is the result of casual reading rather than deliberate investigation. I.

In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
