The list of subscribers includes the names of several ladies, and some clergymen, but some of the pieces are decidedly unfit for either women or the clergy.
22 Amatory. Two Deaths in the Bronx. By Donald Evans. 8vo. boards, antique wove paper. Philadelphia, 1918. $1.50
The modernism, mistakenly called Futurism, that in the Sonnets from the Patagonian sometimes merely amazed, in the present instance, stimulates and satisfies. The volume is a series of pitiless photographs of profligate men and women who fritter away life, seeking new pleasures, new sensations. It is a gallery of incurable poseurs. A curious little volume.
22A Amatory. The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter. (Scenes de la Vie de Boheme.) By Henri Murger. A literal translation into English. UNEXPURGATED EDITION. With portrait and several very fine etchings printed on Japan vellum. 8vo. original buckram, uncut. Societe des Beaux-Arts. Paris, London and New York, 1915. $2.25
Most delightful reading of Paris' most famous art centre (The Latin Quarter).
23 Amatory. Plays and Sonnets. By Ernest Lacy. 2 vols. Printed on hand-made paper and illustrated with 7 etchings. 12mo. cloth, uncut. Phila., 1916. $3.50
Volume I, The Bard of Mary Redcliffe, a play in 5 acts. Vol. II, Rinaldo, the Doctor of Florence, a play in 5 acts. Chatterton, a 1-act play. Sonnets.
These three plays and sixty-odd sonnets are written with lucidity and emotion. A human heart throbs through them. The sonnets have evoked a fine critical eulogy from the greatest student of the Elizabethan sonnets (including Shakespeare's).
23A Amatory. The Lady with the Camellias. By Alexander Dumas, fils. UNEXPURGATED EDITION. With portrait and several fine etchings by Albert Lynch, printed on Japan vellum. 8vo. buckram, gilt tops, uncut. Societe des Beaux-Arts. Paris, London and New York, 1915. $2.25
