Two numbers of the Parish Magazine of St. Augustine’s, Kilburn, Mar. 1887 and April 1887.
Between pp. 80 and 81 of the March number are unsuitable advertisements of Pears’ Soap involving the Bishop Q of Wangaloo and Lillie Langtry. Their appearance drew from the Editor, pp. 97 and 112 of the April number, an expression of regret, distress, and surprise, and a statement that precautions had been taken against any occurrence of a similar nature in future. If I remember right Miss Savage sent these to Butler and they are referred to in their correspondence, but perhaps not in any of the letters included in the Memoir.
Review of “Luck or Cunning?” written by George Bernard Shaw, which appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette, 31st May, 1887.
This was given to me by Dan Rider, who told me that Bernard Shaw’s original review, which he wrote off his own bat, was very much more laudatory and much longer, but the Editor of the Pall Mall Gazette cut it down in length and took out some of the praise because he was afraid of offending the Darwins and their friends.
A collection of Butler’s Letters to the Athenæum and the Academy and other contributions to the press. See the Memoir.
