This is an uncommon, complete issue of
London's Saturday Review for 13 January 1900. 125+year-old issue is in very good condition.
See photo for complete contents.
31 oversize pages.
Some highlights I find include:
R.B. Cunninghame Graham's new short story, here first printed, "In a German Tramp." He would later collect the story as the second of "Thirteen Stories," a collection published in September of this year by William Heinemann in London. The much reprinted volume is still in print today.
Max Beerbohm offers most of a full page reporting on "Two Farces" then playing on the English stage, including American Clyde Fitch's "The Masked Ball." The play had made its first appearance in New York in 1892, starring Maude Adams.
L. Haden Guest contributes "An Impeachment of Mr. Stephen Phillips."
Oswald Crawfurd's "Is England Decadent?"
Novelist Hume Nisbet writes to complain about an anonymous reviewer calling him a "gnat" after finishing his new work Paths of the Dead.
Book reviews of interest in this number include A.C. Benson's two-volume The Life of Edward White Benson, sometime Archbishop of Canterbury; a review of two new mountaineering volumes, E.H. Fitzgerald's The Highest Andes and Mattias Zurbriggen's From the Alps to the Andes. Also, a longer review of some note on Frank T. Bullen's The Log of the Sea Waif; being Recollections of the First Four years of my Sea-Life.
Much more!!
