The Gentle Art of Making Enemies

by James McNeill Whistler

A LAST EFFORT

We hear that a third attempt has been made to produce the pirated copy of Mr. Whistler's "Pall Mall Gazette," April 9, 1890. collected writings. Messrs. Lewis and Lewis have at once taken legal steps to stop the edition (printed in Paris) at the Customs. A cablegram has been received by Mr. Whistler's solicitors stating that Messrs. Stokes's name has been affixed to the title-page of the pirated book without the sanction of those publishers.
