EDITOR'S PREFACE This book, the first major work to be published by the Dalhousie University Press, is presented in the hope that it will serve both general and specific purposes. Its general function is to present clearly and accurately the data relevant to the many printings of Kipling's works. As a bibliographical catalogue, it is the first to show the intricate relationship established by these printings. More specifically, the volume provides a partial check-list of the James McG. Stewart Kipling Collection bequeathed by this distinguished Canadian barrister and industrialist to Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The student of Kipling bibliography is immediately impressed by its size. Kipling was a prolific writer whose collected works comprise thirtyfive volumes, exclusive of journals and letters. Publications on which he exercised direct influence extended over sixty-three years, from 1881 to 1944. Nearly four thousand separate printings of his works exist, and his works were published on six continents. Publications of his writings in India, England, and the United States are of major importance; those of South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, while interesting in themselves, are of less importance. Kipling's literary career coincides with a period of transition in printing; the volumes described in this book bridge the gap between the huge rotary-press editions of the present and the hand-press printings in India before the tum of the century when newsprint was a more costly item than native help. All of the early Kipling volumes were printed from hand-set type; but, before his career was over, this process was reserved for only the costly de luxe printings on hand-made paper. His literary career is transitional in another bibliographical aspect. In England and her colonies his writings were protected in author's copyright, but in the United States of America his entire output was open to piracy until July 1, 1891, when the International Copyright Act came into force. Thus he was introduced to the American public in unauthorized volumes, and many of his authorized editions in the United States were specially produced to secure control of the market. After legal protection had been established, he began the practice of printing special copyright editions of single poems and stories to insure his rights. In the extent of such publication Kipling is perhaps unique among modern authors. One

hundred and thirty-two titles appeared in English and United States copyright issues before these works were published in regular trade editions. The English copyright items form the rarest block of printed materials in Kipling bibliography, but in both series the number of copies produced from these printings was severely limited. Earlier titles were limited to editions of fewer than ten copies; later titles seldom exceeded editions of fifty copies. Kipling's autograph was eagerly sought from 1890 onward, and this demand eventually resulted in many de luxe, limited, and signed editions, a bookselling device that he established as a regular author's practice. He made consistent use of first appearances in newspapers and periodicals, a practice illustrated by some eleven hundred periodical appearances in the Stewart Collection alone. Moreover, he maintained the practice of including some previously unpublished poem or story in all single-volume and multi-volume collections of his works. For collectors, even these were 'first' editions. A final point of bibliographical interest should be noted. Kipling wished his works to have a readily recognizable identity, and in his later, authorized, work he covered the bindings, the pages, the watermarks, and the contents with his own personalized symbols. To him belongs the distinction of being one of the few men of letters to register a literary trade-mark with the British and United States governments. His works are too voluminous and too recent to have received scientific bibliographical analysis, but later studies may prove his publications to have a more interesting and tortuous history than those of any other contemporary author. The James McG. Stewart Kipling Collection was gathered quietly over a period of nearly fifty years. The collection began in the form of family gifts to a young son whose health was delicate; in his maturity it became his major avocational interest. Items in the collection were procured on the current market and from the dispersed libraries of earlier Kipling collectors: Ellis Ames Ballard, George Barr Mccutcheon, E. W. Martindell, Archibald Firestone, John Quinn, Frank Brewer Bemis, and Rudolph August Whitthaus. With the aid of family and friends-among them some of the leading rare book specialists in England and America-Mr. Stewart was able to gather the most comprehensive library ever assembled by an individual collector. For a number of years he employed students to search the copyright records in the British Museum and in the Library of Congress. With information thus derived, he attempted to acquire each Kipling printing from its early newspaper or periodical appearance to the final revised text published in the author's lifetime. He read with

care each item he acquired and became, in time, the master Kipling student of his generation. Although he began without the background of the scientific bibliographer, Mr. Stewart studied bibliography with the intention of making a systematic catalogue of his collection with notes of the emendations needed in the bibliographies then current. This information he offered to place at Mrs. Flora V. Livingston's disposal if a revision of her Bibliography of the Works of Rudyard Kipling was contemplated. Her failing health precluded any such revision; so he began the work that for over two decades was to absorb much of his energy. Using his own collection as a laboratory, he began the task of organizing the vast bulk of bibliographical data that confronted him. The major portion of the work was completed, and the author's preface was written only two days before his death on February 11, 1955. Exclusive of its large holdings in manuscripts, proof copies, association copies, and letters, the published items in the collection are indicated in briefest summary. Mention has already been made of the periodical holdings of 1,088 items. Kipling first editions, subsequent editions of bibliographical interest, and select association copies total 932 volumes. Foreign language editions, chiefly in French, Russian, German, Czech, and Scandinavian, represent 160 volumes. Collected sets comprise 222 volumes; music, Kiplingiana, biographical works, and miscellaneous volumes comprise 471 items; newspapers, 2,400 items. Special mention should be made of the rare newspaper and copyright holdings in the collection. Young Kipling was editor of his school paper during his last year, and the Stewart Collection has a complete file of the United Services College Chronicle covering this period. No public library possesses anything like complete files of the four Anglo-Indian newspapers to which he contributed-the Civil and Military Gazette, the Pioneer, the Pioneer News, and the Week's News. Only odd copies of these papers exist in any public library on this side of the Atlantic, and no report has ever been made concerning European holdings. It is thought, however, that few complete files are in existence. The Stewart Collection is fortunate in having relatively complete files of the Pioneer and the Pioneer News. The copyright editions are of special interest. They represent printings of single stories and poems produced after July 1, 1891. The Library of Congress and the British Museum have complete files for their respective countries, but no library, public or private, has complete runs. The materials do not overlap and the two files are widely divergent in content. The Stewart Collection is the only library that comes near to completing both series. Ten of the fifteen English titles and ninety-one

of the one hundred and seventeen United States titles are present in the collection.

II The present work does not purport to be a scientific bibliography but is rather a bibliographical catalogue that strives to approach bibliographical accuracy. The Publications Committee of Dalhousie University decided that this important work should be published without major change and substantially in the form in which the author left it. This decision was made in the belief that the life-work of a dedicated, intelligent scholar has its own integrity and should not be greatly altered after his death. The Committee also recommended that title pages and imprints should be transcribed in type approximating the original texts and that necessary emendations be made by silent editing. Where editor's and author's judgments are in disagreement, an editorial note has been inserted to that effect; otherwise, specific details have been left largely to the editor's discretion. The extent and nature of the editorial changes need to be clearly identified. The editor is responsible for the final arrangement of material in the appendices and for the index. Corrections of obvious mechanical errors in transcriptions, pagination, and counting of preliminary leaves, and minor emendations in style are made without comment. Eight items have been added. No change has been made in the copyright data contained in the work, nor has there been any opportunity to check its accuracy. Mr. Stewart's earlier notes are not now extant, and the material is too voluminous and inaccessible to permit rechecking. References to some periodicals and to appearances in the Civil and Military Gazette and the Pione~r News have not been and can not be checked from limited materials now available. Unique copies of rare printings housed in private collections unavailable to the editor have not been checked, and the Stewart descriptions of them are reproduced without change. 1 Transcriptions of title pages and imprints in the Stewart text were all reduced to capitals and lower case typescript, and the editor has had to make the following arbitrary decisions: lines, words, or portions of words appearing in full capitals, regardless of size, are here transcribed in full capitals; lines or words appearing in combinations of capitals and small capitals are here transcribed in upper and lower case type; portions appearing in italic type are here reproduced in italic type. 1 Items not checked are Nos. 113, 121, 136, 144, 168, 224, 246, 269, 289, 381, 395, 411, 436, 446, 474, 501, 507, 523, 544, 546, 556, 612, 674, 675, and 690.

Gothic type is not identified as such; Gothic capitals are transcribed as Roman capitals. Transcriptions of title pages of English printings presented a problem relative to the date of publication. The date of each American printing can be approximated from the specific date given in the copyright data, but Mr. Stewart was able to ascertain only the month and year of publication of the various English printings. This information appeared at the right-hand margin of his transcriptions. Such information was too valuable to discard, and it has been included in brackets preceding the year of publication on the transcriptions of the various title pages. Another change in the Stewart text concerns the count of the unnumbered preliminary leaves. In his expanded descriptions Mr. Stewart did not count or mention the position of preliminary illustrations, and his statements concerning the frontispieces frequently need amplification. The term 'frontispiece inset' has been used in the descriptions to indicate that a plate has been 'tipped' to the adjoining leaf, and the frontispiece and any other preliminary illustrations are now included in the count of preliminary leaves. Such a practice may be questioned, but the editor was prompted by the belief that any 'ideal' copy would be expected to contain such plates and that therefore they should be counted. The Stewart typescript does not give any indication of the number of copies examined in arriving at the collations and descriptions. Obviously many copies of some items have been examined and perhaps few of others. The number of copies examined to check these descriptions has also been small except when special problems were encountered. Over four hundred volumes of the Outward Bound edition have been examined, but this is the only item that has occasioned extensive comparison. Ordinarily, in cases involving some questions, as in No. 342, not more than fifteen copies have been available for study. What has been attempted is to record information now at hand and to leave the resolution of final authority to the scientific bibliographer. A final comment about the organization of this book may be helpful. It departs from preceding Kipling studies in that the various entries are not arranged individually in the chronological sequence of their publication. Rather, they are arranged in chronological sequence as they appeared in the major Kipling trade editions. These trade volumes are usually collections of items previously published in newspapers or periodicals, with the addition, usually, of some hitherto unpublished items. The Stewart scheme of presentation is to list all pertinent editions of the title under consideration together with a list of all earlier separate editions of the constituent items. Each edition and each earlier separate

EDITOR'S PREFACE

printing are then treated in specific detail. Each item appearing in the table of contents of a volume is listed with reference to its previous appearances and to any subsequent separate printings, but publication as part of a later volume is not included. Artists and illustrators are named whenever possible. Kipling's great body of material as well as his continuous revising, re-titling, and re-publication of his works renders this method the most logical yet devised to make the relationship of these many printings readily apparent.

III I wish to express sincere thanks to the Governors of Dalhousie University, to President A. E. Kerr, and to Mrs. James McG. Stewart for the opportunity to have a part in the production of this book. The University is to be commended for its decision to publish such a significant and scholarly work. The members of the Committee on Publications have been consistently helpful and encouraging, and I am grateful to Dean C. L. Bennet as Chairman and Professor D. G. Lochhead as Librarian for their suggestions and for acting as liaison between Dalhousie University, the University of Toronto Press, and myself. The Librarian and his staff have been particularly helpful in checking collations and transcriptions of items not available to me in Texas. I am particularly indebted to Mrs. Stewart for her hospitality and advice while I was working on the collection before it was removed to the Kipling Room in the Macdonald Memorial Library. Her assistance in transcribing Mr. Stewart's holograph notes, her interest in the collection and the catalogue, and her own rich knowledge of Kipling and Kiplingiana have been of great value. I wish also to acknowledge the kindness and interest of Colonel Marston E. Drake, who first told me of Mr. Stewart's achievement and who recommended that I continue the production of this book. I owe much to his knowledge of the Kipling works and to his assistance in technical matters. Dr. Harry H. Ransom of the University of Texas has also given advice and assistance that are greatly appreciated. Finally, I gratefully acknowledge the splendid technical assistance of the editorial staff of the University of Toronto Press. The Publications Committee and I are indebted to the patience and skill of those who have worked with us in this project. A. W. YEATS Abilene, Texas April 30, 1959

AUTHOR'S PREFACE My original purpose in assembling the material for this volume was to prepare a catalogue of my own collection. As the work proceeded and the collection grew, I sought out Mrs. Flora V. Livingston and discussed with her the possibility of a revised edition of her Bibliography in one volume. Although she had noted many additions and corrections for such a new edition, she felt that the task was beyond her strength, particularly because of failing sight. I therefore decided to include in my descriptive catalogue references to material known to be in existence but not included in my collection. The descriptive catalogue thus came to share some of the characteristics of a bibliography, although, as must at once be obvious to an expert, the compiler lacks the qualifications of a scientific bibliographer. He hopes, however, that it may be found a useful guide to librarians, scholars, and collectors. The work of compilation was done during a busy life at the Bar, and being a labour of love, it provided rest and relaxation and brought me in touch with many people whose friendship has meant much. To all who have helped me in my work I am grateful. It would be impossible to name all of them, but the help of several has been so great and valuable that special reference should be made to them. Colonel Marston E. Drake of James F. Drake, Inc., of New York has been most helpful throughout, not only in calling my attention to interesting material but also in problems of arrangement and presentation of the material. Mr. James H. Drake of the same firm has been continuously helpful. Mr. Ernest U. Maggs of Maggs Bros., Ltd., of London has kept me informed of new issues in England and of the material turning up from time to time in the auction rooms. The late Colonel C. H. L. Jones of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, and Quebec, has been especially helpful in procuring or calling attention to Kipling items in newspapers and periodicals. My sister, Lieuana M. Stewart, put into shape the typescript of my notes and greatly assisted in the preparation of this volume. My wife spent days and weeks browsing through dusty second-hand book shops and proudly returned with many items that are now part of my collection. The definitive bibliography of Kipling's works will not be written for

AUTHOR'S PREFACE

many_ years. Items previously unreported are still turning up, and this will continue, in all probability, for some time. New editions, authoriz.ed and unauthorized, are published from time to time, and letters and manuscripts come up at auction frequently. All that can be done in the meantime is to organize and present the known material today and leave it as a storehouse of information for those to follow. The very large number of items making up the corpus of Rudyard Kipling's works renders the task of preparing a bibliography of his works rather more difficult than in the case of other authors. Upwards of four thousand volumes must be examined and either listed or rejected. Th.is rather astonishing total is due to several factors, only four of which require elaboration here: 1. The enterprise of American publishers in the last three decades of the nineteenth century in catering to the reading demands of their public had produced the 5, 10, and 25 cent volumes cheaply printed on cheap paper, cheaply bound in wrappers, and issued weekly as parts of a 'Series' or 'Library' which qualified for cheap postal rates. 2. The great popularity of Kipling as a poet and writer of stories. During the period 1890-1902, at least, Kipling was, without doubt, the most popular and widely read of all modem writers. 3. The absence of copyright protection in the United States for foreign authors left the literary output of his entire Indian period open to piracy, and the American publishers as a whole took full advantage of the situation. When copyright protection was ultimately provided on July 1, 1891, the provisions of the law were such that, in order to secure its benefits, it was necessary in many cases to have special copyright issues prepared. Over one hundred such issues have been reported and are included in this bibliography. Many of these are very rare indeed, for each printing prior to 1914 produced only a few copies each. In many cases the page proofs of books or the galley proofs of newspapers and periodicals were used to secure copyright. In other cases the periodicals themselves were used for the purpose. 4. The demand was apparently quite extensive in the last decade of the nineteenth century and first of the twentieth for a few poems or stories or even single ones issued in the form of broadsides, leaflets, pamphlets, or in small bound books. These were issued by a host of publishers and serve to swell the volume of Kipling material. The main purpose of this volume is to present the resulting material in a way that makes the desired information most readily accessible to those resorting to it. Primarily what is usually sought is the description of first editions and first English and American editions of each poem, story, or article by Kipling.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE

xiii

In the present book this material is organized into the following: MAJOR WORKS. In this division is included work which Kipling at some time either collected or protected by American copyright. OTHER WORKS. This division includes work that has appeared in book form but, although intended for general publication, has never been collected by Kipling or protected by American copyright. For the most part this material consists of forewords, introductions, letters, limericks, and ephemera. APPENDICES

Appendix A: Items in Sales Catalogues. Although possibly falling for inclusion in 'Other Works', these books or pamphlets contain Kipling material which does not call for a detailed collation or description. Much of this materi;µ was not intended for general publication. Appendix B: Uncollected Prose and Verse. In this division an attempt is made to compile a list of items by Kipling which never appeared in book form but are to be found either in periodicals or in manuscript form. Appendix C: Works in Anthologies and Readers. Appendix D: Collected Sets. Appendix E: Musical Settings. Appendix F: Unauthorized Editions. I had intended to include an appendix listing translations into foreign languages. The bulk of this material was the prevailing argument against its inclusion. A secondary reason was the difficulty of obtaining comprehensive lists of translations in countries behind the Iron Curtain and, indeed, in Europe generally. In quoting titles, inscriptions, and imprints, a vertical stroke is used to indicate the end of a line. Material that cannot conveniently be reproduced (such as vignettes, printers' devices, and rules) or that it is unnecessary to reproduce (such as quotations and lists of works) is indicated by a word or phrase in square brackets. End-papers are not included in the enumeration of leaves or pages, but if they are illustrated or decorated or of a different stock, the fact is noted. Leaves before the first to bear Arabic numerals are designated as leaves; if they bear Roman numerals, the fact is noted. The frontispiece and other preliminary illustrations are included in the count of preliminary leaves. Unnumbered pages are indicated in square brackets. The expressions fore-title, half-title, and sub-title are used with the following meanings: fore-title denotes a leaf or page preceding the title page that bears the title in full or in abbreviated form; half-title denotes

xiv

AUTHOR'S PREFACE

a page or leaf following the title page that bears the title in full or in abbreviated form; sub-title denotes a page or leaf that bears the title or only a part, as distinguished from the whole, of the contents. All measurements are given in inches with height preceding that of width. The use of the parentheses in headings and sub-headings is reserved to indicate the priority of the first edition. 'First (Indian) Edition' indicates that the Indian printing of a title precedes the printing of the same title in the United States or in England. Similarly, 'First (American) Edition' indicates the first publication of this title in any country, and the edition used to establish legal copyright in the United States. Subsub-headings are enclosed in parentheses to designate their inferior or explanatory nature and are not to be confused with designations of the first edition, which are always geographic designations. The term edition as used in the text does not usually include publication in periodicals. The exceptions, such as United Services College Chronicle, Quartette, the Detroit Free Press, the Friend, Cornhill Booklet, and Two Tales, are made because of the relative importance of the Kipling materials included. When an item is included for the first time in the contents of a volume under description, prior publication in periodicals is noted; in many instances, subsequent publication in important periodicals is indicated. When this same item is reprinted as a part of a later volume, a common circumstance, the later publication has not been included. My original intention was to include complete data on the copyright of items produced in the United States. This plan has been abandoned because of inaccuracies and omissions in the files of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Such information as could be gleaned from this and other sources has been included. The following pages contain descriptions of a few items that the compiler has never seen. With one or two exceptions, these are included on the unimpeachable authority of others who have seen and described them. In each case the authority is named. In all other cases, the compiler is solely responsible for the collations. No attempt has been made to include the miscellaneous material covered by the word "Kiplingiana". Much of this will, no doubt, be used in the full-length life and letters of Rudyard Kipling which will one day be published. In the preparation of this book the greatest help has been Mrs. Livingston's Bibliography and Supplement. These are mines of Kipling information and generally reliable, although a good many references to appearances in periodicals call for amendment. Rear Admiral Chandler's

Summary also was found to be indispensable, especially in the preparation of Appendix B. Captain Martindell's Bibliography was found to be

useful, although most of the material in it had been incorporated into Mrs. Livingston's two volumes. The Catalogue of the Exhibition by the Grolier Club of Rudyard Kipling's works and the late Ellis Ames Ballard's Catalogue were found very useful in checking information as to insertions, illustrations, and similar material.

MAJOR WORKS SCHOOLBOY LYRICS FIRST EDITION, 1881; and the following constituent items: 'The Seven Nights of Creation', 1886; and the MSS. 'Sundry Phansies', 1882. While Kipling was attending the United Services College at Westward Ho!, Devon, his parents issued in India, for private circulation only, a volume containing twenty-three of his poems. The poems were not collected by Kipling until 1900 when twenty-two of them were included in Early Verse, which, as volume XVII of the Outward Bound edition and volume XVIII of the Edition de Luxe, included also Kipling's contributions to Echoes and the whole of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses. Although it is the first book by Kipling, Schoolboy Lyrics does not contain his earliest work. In the late 1870's the children of Sir Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris produced a juvenile paper called 'The Scribbler'. Each issue consisted of two copies written out by hand. Three issues contained material by Kipling: Volume I, No. XII, June 3, 1879, contained the first instalment of 'My First Adventure', a story by Kipling, signed 'Nickson'. Volume II, No. I, June 30, 1879, contained the concluding instalment of 'My First Adventure'. Volume II, No. III, January 5, 1880, contained 'The Pillow-fight' also signed 'Nickson'. 'My First Adventure' was not collected by Kipling. 'The Pillow-fight' was published in the United Services College Chronicle, No. 5, July 23, 1881, where it is signed '1.N.O.' In the portfolio containing copy intended for subsequent numbers of 'The Scribbler', three further poems were found: 'The Dusky Crew', 'The Night Before' (both included in Schoolboy Lyrics), and 'Job's Wife'. The latter was reprinted in full in the catalogue of the William Gable Collection sold at the American Art Galleries, November 5, 1923, but was not collected by Kipling. Of 'The Night Before' two stanzas in facsimile of a MS. and three in ordinary type were published in Maggs Bros. catalogue, 1929. Three issues of 'The Scribbler' and the MSS. of the additional poems written for it (but not in Kipling's handwriting) in the G. M. Williamson Collection were sold at the Anderson Galleries, March 17, 1915.

RUDYARD KIPLING

There is in existence the MS.* of a poem of twenty-two lines entitled 'The Carolina' which probably antedates the contributions to 'The Scribbler'. The poem, written on paper bearing the watermark 1876, has as its theme the loss of the Carolina while on a voyage from Southampton to London with three hundred passengers and crew-members on board. The story was probably told to Kipling by the Captain in whose house at Southsea the Kipling children were placed by their parents in 1871. The misery of the years spent there is vividly described in 'Baa, Baa, Black Sheep' and later in Something of Myself. Two of the poems in Schoolboy Lyrics were reprinted in the United Services College Chronicle, namely, 'A Legend of Devonshire' in No. 4, June 30, 1881, where it contains eleven stanzas (in Schoolboy Lyrics there were but six) and 'The Song of the Sufferer' in No. 12, December 11, 1882, under the title 'Follicular Tonsilitis'. 'Fragment of a Projected Poem' became a part (32 lines) of 'The Seven Nights of Creation' published in the Calcutta Review, April, 1886. A few copies were printed from the types of the Review.

the title page, under the titles, and at the end of each poem. These were drawn by hand-probably by either Kipling or his father. Others are known with drawings and ornaments in ink on the title page, done by Kipling himself. Several interesting copies are known: 1. Kipling's own copy, in the brown wrappers, on the front cover of which are written two lines from Byron's English Bards and Scotch Reviewers. The front cover and title page are reproduced in facsimile in My Kipling Collection by the late Ellis Ames Ballard, 1935. The front cover was also used as the frontispiece in volume XXXV of the Outward Bound edition. 2. A copy ( without the brown wrappers) inscribed 'The Padre I from "Gigs" I August 29th, 1884'. This was in the Spoor Collection sold at the Parke-Bernet Galleries, April 26-28, 1939. 3. A copy the front cover of which is illustrated in Plate III of the catalogue of The Grolier Club Exhibition. The plain white front cover is filled with pen and ink sketches of semi-human figures (probably what Kipling himself called 'devilkins') and floral and foliate designs with 'Poems 1881' on a ribbon-like scroll. At the bottom is a square with scalloped edges bearing Kipling's monogram J .R.K . The figures are reminiscent of illustrations drawn by Kipling in certain of his school books, particularly a copy of Ovid, Book VI. 4. A copy bound up with Echoes and presented to Mrs. Hill (see introductory comment to Echoes) . 5. A copy, in the brown wrappers, in which Kipling has stroked out his name on the title page and written 'Rudyard Kipling I Feb. 10. '99'. This copy was in the Scribner Collection sold at the Anderson Galleries, April 22-23, 1936. 6. A copy* in the brown wrappers signed by Kipling at the top of the verso of the title page above the following lines : 'This is the writer's autograph Rarer than any ever writ, Therefore he bids you cherish it.' On the front cover is the name 'Trix Kipling'. The title page and verso in facsimile are printed in the Kipling Journal, volume XVII, No. 95 (October, 1950) . [See illustration p. 6.] 7. A copy in plain wrappers has 'Alice Kipling I 1881' in the handwriting of J. Lockwood Kipling. 8. A copy* with the brown wrappers bears the inscription 'Mrs. H. Rivitt-Carnac I from I A. Kipling' in the handwriting of Mrs. J. Lockwood Kipling.

COVER OF A FIRST EDITION, IN THE KIPLING COLLECTION, DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY

A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CATALOGUE

7

The total number of copies printed has not been definitely ascertained, but it was approximately fifty. THE SEVEN NIGHTS OF CREATION (Authorized edition of a constituent item) 2* THE SEVEN NIGHTS OF CREATION, [1886]. 4to (8¾ X 5¼), Three leaves tied with white cord and printed from the types of the Calcutta Review, vol. LXXXII, No. CLXIV, April, 1886. The recto of first leaf and verso of last are blank. Text commences under the title on verso of first leaf, continues on both sides of the second, and is concluded on recto of the third. The second leaf is numbered 2 on recto and 3 on verso; the third is numbered 4 on recto. Two copies of this edition are known; one, from the Crofts Collection, was later acquired by the late E. A. Ballard, and the other*, presented by Kipling to F. Haden Cope on April 20, 1886, is accompanied by a letter from Kipling to Mrs. Cope offering to autograph it. What purports to be a third copy is in existence, but it is made up of the leaves of the . Review, the first and third of which have been split in order to eliminate the printed matter not by Kipling. The page numbers of the Review ( 465-7) appear on the second, third, and fourth pages, and the signature number 59 is at the bottom of page 465. Thirty-two lines of this poem appeared in Schoolboy Lyrics under the title 'Fragment of a Projected Poem'. Twenty-five additional lines were used as the heading of Chapter XVIII of Beast and Man in India, 1891. The poem as a whole has not been collected. Four poems by Kipling were published in the Calcutta Review: 'The Vision of Hamid Ali' (vol. LXXXI, No. CLXII, October, 1885), 'The Seven Nights of Creation' (vol. LXXXII, No. CLXIV, April, 1886), 'King Solomon's Horses' and 'The Legend of Love' (vol. LXXXIII, No. CLXV, July, 1886). What has been claimed to be a separate printing of 'The Vision of Hamid Ali' was in the Ballard Collection, having come from the papers of W. C. Crofts, at one time Classics Master at the United Services College and to whom Kipling sent it. It consists simply of a leaf of the Review and bears the pagination of that journal. The poem was collected in the Sussex edition, volume XXXV, 1939, and in the Burwash edition, volume XXVIII, 1941. 'King Solomon's Horses' was never collected or reprinted with Kipling's permission. 'The Legend of Love' was collected in Departmental Ditties, Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses, New York, 1890, and in Ba"ack-Room Ballads and Other Verses, London, 1892, under the title 'The Explanation'.

RUDYARD KIPLING

SUNDRY PHANSIES (Manuscript form of constituent items) There is in existence a collection of verses in Kipling's holograph which was bound and dated 1882. It contains thirty-two poems of which only eight are known to have been published. The titles of the poems are: 'Dedication: "What have I more to give thee" '; 'An Auto-da-Fe'; 'Ballad of the King's Daughter' (collected in Echoes, 1884, Early Verse, 1900); 'Brighton Beach'; 'By the Sea'; 'Cave'; 'Change'; 'Chivalry'; 'Conspiracy'; 'Crossing the Rubicon'; 'Failure' (Echoes, Early Verse); 'The Flight'; 'For a Picture'; 'How It Seemed to Us'; 'How the Day Broke' (Echoes, Early Verse); 'How the Goddess Awakened' (Echoes, Early Verse); 'Invertium'; 'Les Amours Facile'; 'Missed' (Schoolboy Lyrics, Early Verse); 'The Page's Message'; 'The Page's Song'; 'Pro Tem'; 'Reading of the Will' (Schoolboy Lyrics, Early Verse); 'Reckoning'; 'Resolve'; 'Solus cum Sola' (Schoolboy Lyrics, Early Verse); 'Song'; 'The Story of Paul Vangel'; 'The Two Players'; 'A Visitation'; 'Waytinge' ( United Services College Chronicle, Dec. 5, 1881); and 'L'Envoi'. The compiler has not seen the volume under consideration and is therefore unable to state whether any of the remaining poems can be identified with poems later published under different titles. The information here given is derived from Admiral Chandler's Summary. UNITED SERVICES COLLEGE CHRONICLE

United Services College Chronicle, 1881-1894; and Rudyard Kipling's First Book, 1899. In an article in the Youth's Companion, October 19, 1893, later collected in Land and Sea Tales, 1923, Kipling described the United Services College at Westward Ho!, North Devon, and acknowledged his deep debt to it. He was a student there from January, 1878, to July, 1882, and his experiences form the background for Stalky & Co., 1898. A brief account of his life there is given in his autobiography, Something of Myself. The Headmaster, Cormell Price (the 'Head' or 'Bates' in the Stalky stories), took a deep interest in the young Kipling and did everything in his power to encourage the boy's literary ambitions. He gave him the run of his fine library and about a year before Kipling left the school appointed him editor of the school paper. Under Kipling's editorship, seven issues of the Chronicle were produced between June 30, 1881, and July 24, 1882, each issue containing material by Kipling and much of which was never again published with his authority.

A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CATALOGUE

Leaving school at the age of sixteen, Kipling, late in 1882, after a short visit to Paris with his father, proceeded to Lahore where he had obtained a post with the Civil and Military Gazette. From time to time he sent back to his old school paper poems and stories written for Indian papers. In all, fourteen issues of the Chronicle published after he ceased to be editor contain contributions by him. In 1906 the school was moved to Windsor, and in 1912 the name was changed to Imperial Service College. Here the Kipling Memorial, made possible by public subscription, was erected in the form of dormitories and a library. During the war of 1939-45 it was taken over by the British Government and, so far as can be learned, no plans have yet been made for reopening it. Curiously, some doubt still exists as to the exact list of Kipling's contributions to the Chronicle. On August 30, 1899, the late Edwin A. Denham, well-known book dealer in New York, on selling a complete file of the Chronicle (the Crofts set) to a collector, stated in a letter: 'The set contains all of Kipling's contributions. I enclose a list of these, on the joint authority of the head-master, one of the sub-masters, the Chaplain of the College, and of Kipling himself, so you can rely on it as absolutely correct.' In spite of this array of authority, it is necessary both to add to and subtract from the Denham list. 3* The I United Services College I Chronicle. I [double rule] [June 30, 1881.] Price 6d.

ECHOES FIRST EDITION,

1884; "Echoes" by Two Writers, 1884.

This volume issued at Lahore in 1884 contains thirty-nine poems by Kipling and his sister Alice ('Trix'), later Mrs. Alice M. Fleming. Kipling claimed thirty-two as his own when in 1900 he included them in Early Verse ( Outward Bound edition, vol. XVII and Edition de Luxe, vol. XVIII). In No. 48 of the Kipling Journal, Mrs. Fleming was reported to have said: 'And when it came to sorting out the verses in Echoes, he claimed several of mine.' Some corroboration of Mrs. Fleming's claim is to be found in a volume containing Schoolboy Lyrics and Echoes, bound together, and presented by Kipling to Mrs. Hill ( the professor's wife in From Sea to Sea) . The volume, which is in a private collection in the United States, carries the inscription, written by Kipling, 'Jan I 89 I To I Mrs. S. A. Hill I from I Rudyard Kipling I These the first of his ventures into print'. In the List of Contents pencil lines have been drawn through eleven titles in all, including the seven poems usually ascribed to Miss Kipling. In the text the same eleven poems are crossed out by diagonal pencil lines. No evidence is available as to the hand that used the pencil, but it is hard to believe that anyone but Kipling would so mutilate such a volume. It is quite possible, therefore, that when making up the contents of Early Verse in 1900, Kipling had forgotten the authorship of the four poems in question. On the other hand, in the copy presented to 'The Ladies of Warwick Gardens' in 1884 Kipling indicated in the Contents, as written by his sister, only the seven usually ascribed to her. The same seven poems are attributed to his sister in the copy* presented to his cousin Margaret (Burne-Jones) Mackall and in the copy* presented to the Common Room of the United Services College. As the name of the book indicates, most of the poems are written in the style of well-known writers. Several copies are known in which Kipling has written the names of these poets. 'The Maid of the Meerschaum' is, in one copy, ascribed to the style of Swinburne and in another to Austin Dobson. The author imitated in 'Sonnet' is given as Blunt or Proteus (his pseudonym) . The names of the poets echoed are included in Early Verse, except that 'Cavaliere Servente' is not ascribed to D. G. Rossetti. Kipling's diary for 1885 indicated that he intended to bring out a second edition. If he did, no copy has survived, so far as can now be ascertained.

His mother's copy was bound in vellum and inscribed 'The Mater I from Ruddy I August 22nd 1884', with an autograph poem of three stanzas of five lines each commencing 'Who is the Public I write for?' The poem was printed in facsimile in the Grolier Club Catalogue, 1930, as Plate V and in E. A. Ballard's My Kipling Collection, 1935. One stanza (the first) is printed in Martindell's Bibliography, 1923. 3. A copy presented to 'The Ladies of Warwick Gardens', which contains an autograph poem signed 'Ruddy and Trix' consisting of seven stanzas, the first and last of which were printed in the Grolier Club Catalogue, 1930. The poem begins 'To our first critics send we these'. 4. A copy inscribed to 'F.G. from R.K. Sept. 1884', with an autograph poem commencing 'I wrote you verses two years syne'. 5. A copy inscribed 'Evelyn I From I R .K. I Sept. 1884' with an autograph poem of three stanzas of four lines each commencing 'The memory of a maiden's sympathy'. This poem was printed in facsimile in Maggs Bros. catalogue No. 200, 1918, and in ordinary type in Fragmenta Condita, 1922. Two stanzas were printed in the catalogue of the Red Cross sale, April 22, 1918. 6. The Crofts copy, included in the G. M.

Uncle Crom was Cormell Price, Headmaster of United Services College. The familiarity of the address is due to the intimate friendship between Price and Kipling's father. They were members of the Pre-Raphaelite group which included also D. G. Rossetti, William Morris, and Kipling's uncle, Sir Edward Bume-Jones. Kipling has written in near the title the name of each poet 'echoed'. 8. The copy bound up with Schoolboy Lyrics and presented to Mrs. Hill. 9. A copy in which Kipling has pencilled the words 'Written at School. R.K.' at the end of 'How the Day Broke', 'A Locked Way', 'Land Bound', and 'How the Goddess Awakened'. 10.

on December 22, 1952, and the catalogue contains the inscription and verses in facsimile. "ECHOES" BY TWO WRITERS (A related item)

This broadside was in the Scribner Collection sold at the American Art Galleries, April 22, 1936. The catalogue of the sale included a reduced facsimile of the item. The verses were obviously intended to accompany a copy of Echoes presented to an employee of the Civil and Military Gazette, who, having previously performed the duties then being discharged by Kipling, had been promoted to editorial work of a more important nature. No copy of Echoes has been reported in which this poem has been written, and it is quite possible that it was printed on the press of the Civil and Military Gazette and laid in the presentation copy. A poem with the same first line, 'Between the gum-pot and the shears', was inscribed by Kipling in a copy of Plain Tales from the Hills presented to Mrs. S. A. Hill. This poem was printed in full in her article 'The Young Kipling' in the Atlantic Monthly, April, 1936. 6* "ECHOES" BY TWO WRITERS. I [rule] I [A.M. D.-D. R.K., OCT. 1884]. 16mo (5% X 4 1; 4). Broadside; printed on pale blue paper. The text consists of 3 stanzas of four lines each. There is a correction at the end of the second stanza where a period is deleted. In the catalogue of the Scribner sale it is suggested that the poem was dedicated to Kipling's sister, Alice Macdonald Kipling. This is obviously incorrect for a number of reasons: (1) The dedication is to 'A.M.' not to 'A.M.D.' (2) Kipling's sister's initials were not A.M.D. in any event. ( 3) The text of the poem makes it clear that the dedication was to an employee of the Civil and Military Gazette senior to Kipling.

QUARTETTE Quartette was the Christmas Annual for 1885 of the Civil and Military Gazette, the newspaper by which young Kipling was first employed. The entire contents were written by the Kipling family, which included Kipling himself, his father, his mother, and his sister Alice. Several copies ·exist in which either Kipling or his father has indicated the authorship of the items. These are not entirely consistent. The copy presented by Kipling to W. C. Crofts (with inscription dated December, 1885) has been accepted as correct because it was annotated and presented when the volume was published. Fifteen years later he presented

a copy to Julian Ralph, an American correspondent in South Africa during the Boer War. The seventh item, 'The Haunted Cabin', is ascribed to the mother in the Ralph copy but to the sister in the Crofts copy. It was, in fact, the only contribution by the sister. The eleventh item, 'My Christmas at the Ajaibgaum Exhibition', is indicated as Kipling's in the Crofts copy but as the father's in the Ralph copy. In another copy, the father, otherwise confirming the Crofts copy, has ascribed the eighth item, 'The Second Wooing', to the mother instead of to Kipling. Two of the stories, 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes' and 'The Phantom 'Rickshaw', were collected in The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Tales, 1888. 'Rivals', by the mother, was used as the heading of 'On Greenhow Hill' in Life's Handicap, 1891. 'Two Sonnets' and 'Rivals' were collected in a volume of verse entitled Hand in Hand published by Kipling's mother and sister in London in 1903. This volume contains decorations by J.

DEPARTMENTAL DITTIES AND OTHER VERSES FIRST (INDIAN) EDITION, 1886; SECOND INDIAN EDITION, 1886; THIRD INDIAN EDITION, 1888; FOURTH (FIRST ENGLISH) EDITION, 1890; SIXTH EDITION, 1891; NINTH EDITION, 1897; TRACKER'S DE LUXE EDITION, 1898; NEWNES'S EDITION, 1899; METHUEN'S FIRST EDITION, 1904; and prior issues of two constituent items: 'The Song of the Women', 1888; and 'One Word More', 1888. In a volume entitled My First Book edited by Jerome K. Jerome and published in 1894, Kipling contributed an article describing, as his first book, Departmental Ditties and Other Verses. Certainly it was the first written entirely by him and for the publication of which he had sole responsibility. It was printed by the Civil and Military Gazette Press at Lahore under his immediate supervision. The first edition contained twenty-six poems. The second edition, also published in 1886, contained five additional poems. The publishers were Thacker, Spink & Co., Calcutta. The third edition, published by the same firm in 1888, contained ten additional poems. The fourth edition, published by the same firm but printed in England in 1890, contained ten further poems. 'Diana of Ephesus', included in the third edition, was not included in the fourth and subsequent editions. The fourth edition, therefore, contained fifty poems. Although there were subsequent revisions of the text, no new poems were added to the collection. The sixth edition, published in 1891, included a 'Glossary' for English readers. The ninth edition, published in 1897, and illustrated by Dudley Cleaver, was dedicated without Kipling's consent to Lord Roberts. In 1898, an edition in the format of the Edition de Luxe was published by W. Thacker & Co., London. When arranging for the publication of the Edition de Luxe, Kipling tried to procure from W. Thacker & Co. the right to publish the poems as one of the volumes. He even suggested that he might add two or three poems to the collection in which the publisher would retain the copyright. When these negotiations fell through, the Thacker firm agreed to the inclusion of a volume of Departmental Ditties in the Edition de Luxe but insisted that their name appear as publishers. In 1899, Thacker, Spink & Co. sold the copyright to George Newnes, Limited, London, who issued both a cheap edition in paper wrappers and an edition in cloth with the Cleaver illustrations. On March 9 of the same year, Kipling purchased the copyright for £2,000, and thereafter Methuen & Co. in Great Britain and the successive Doubleday firms in the United States have been the regular publishers of the collection.

1900, this group of poems was included with Echoes and Schoolboy Lyrics in a volume entitled Early Verse in the Edition de Luxe, volume XVIII, and in the Outward Bound edition, volume XVII. Meanwhile the first American edition was published in 1890 by United States Book Company under the title Departmental Ditties Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses. In addition to the fifty poems in the fourth edition of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses, this volume contains seventeen new poems which were later included in BarrackRoom Ballads and Other Verses, London, 1892, and Ballads and Barrack-Room Ballads, New York, 1892. In 1899 the text was revised for an American edition in which Departmental Ditties and Other Verses was combined with Ballads and Barrack-Room Ballads. This was published by Doubleday & McClure Co. who used the same plates ( except the fore-title and title page) for volumes in the Swastika and Trade editions. In 1904 Methuen & Co. published their first edition ( designated as the sixteenth) uniform with their editions of Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses, The Seven Seas, and The Five Nations.

Rosenbach found and purchased for the late E. A. Ballard separate printings of three of Kipling's poems-'The Song of the Women', 'One Word More' (both of which were included in the fourth edition of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses, 1890), and 'Further Information', which was not collected by Kipling but was printed in Ballard's My Kipling Collection. (Lord Dufferin was Viceroy of India 1884-8.) It does not seem possible at this date to ascertain definitely by whose order these separate printings were made. It is, however, most improbable that they were printed without Kipling's authority.

During the period November, 1886, to June, 1887, thirty-nine stories appeared in the Civil and Military Gazette under the serial title 'Plain Tales from the Hills'. Twenty-nine of these, together with eleven other stories not in the series, were collected by Kipling in Plain Tales from the Hills (Calcutta, 1888). Two only of the remaining ten stories of the original series were later collected. At least one of those uncollected was written by Kipling's sister. The second edition (1889) contained the same stories with a revised text. In 1890, Frank F. Lovell & Co. published what has been generally believed to be the first American edition; it contained the same stories except that 'A Friend's Friend' was omitted. An edition by Lovell, Coryell & Co. published in 1891 has a letter of authority from Kipling. The first English edition (Macmillan & Co., London, 1890) contained the forty stories of the second edition (1889) but with a text again revised. In 1897, volume I of the Outward Bound edition ( Charles Scribner's Sons, New York) and the Edition de Luxe (Macmillan & Co., London) included two additional stories from the original series, namely, 'Bitters Neat' and 'Haunted Subalterns'. These volumes, however, do not include the four stories in which Privates Mulvaney, Ortheris, and Learoyd make their appearance. The Outward Bound edition also contains a Preface and an Introduction not in other volumes. A bound Prospectus of the edition also contains this Preface and Introduction. In 1899, R. F. Fenno & Co., New York, published the stories included in the Outward Bound edition, volume I, together with an extra story, 'The Last Relief', which Kipling did not collect until 1938 in volume XXIX of the Sussex edition. It was also included in volume XXIII of the Burwash edition, 1941. In 1899, the collection as it appeared in the first English edition was printed from fresh types and published in the Uniform edition. In the same year Doubleday & McClure Co. published it in a Copyright edition and in the Swastika and Trade editions. This was the first American printing of the whole collection. The first American printing of 'A Friend's Friend' was in the Outward Bound edition, volume I. No Macmillan edition was printed in the United States, for the sheets of Macmillan's English edition were used for the purpose. In her charming book, Rudyard Kipling: A Friendly Profile (Argus Books, Chicago, 1942), Mrs. Carpenter, widow of the well-known

RUDYARD KIPLING

Kipling collector, W. M. Carpenter, states: 'His [Mr. Carpenter's] interest in Kipling began in his youth with the purchase in 1888 [?] of a paper copy of the pirated edition of Plain Tales from the Hills.' No copy of this edition seems to be available. Again, on the authority of Mrs. Hill, she quotes Kipling as having said, prior to his departure from India in early 1889, when shown a pirated edition of Plain Tales from the Hills, 'Fancy cribbing that beastly little book'. In No. XX of his unexpurgated From Sea to Sea letters, Kipling tells of a visit to a book-shop in Yokohama in 1889 where he found the publications of the 'Seaside Publishing Company'. One of the mildest of his comments was, 'The loathsome library had been cribbing AngloIndian stories not altogether unknown to me.' These words certainly refer to stories by Kipling and may refer to Plain Tales from the Hills. In spite of the fact that the bibliographies and publishers' lists show no American editions of Kipling's prose works prior to 1890, there was, nevertheless, in existence in 1889 (and possibly but not probably in 1888) at least one pirated volume of Indian stories by him. The papers of George Munro, original publisher of the Seaside Library, may contain the key to the mystery. FIRST (INDIAN) EDITION

ascribed to 'Barrack-Room Ballad'); 'The Story of Muhammad Din' (with translation from 'Munichandra', said to be by Professor Peterson, as heading) , collected from the Civil and Military Gazette, September 8, reprinted in United Services College Chronicle, No. 30, December 18, 1886; 'To be Filed for Reference' (with 20-line verse heading ascribed to 'From the Unpublished Papers of McIntosh Jellaludin' ) .

Three types of binding are known on the first edition: 1. Plain olive cloth*, with lettering in gold on spine. 2. Olive cloth with landscape design and lettering on front cover in black; lettering on spine in gold. The texture of the cloth is not the same on all copies noted. 3. Dark green cloth with ornamental bands at top and bottom of front cover and lettering in black; spine in gold. This was the normal binding for the second edition. The first of these types is by far the rarest, only six copies* being known. In most copies the page number on page 192 is misplaced and appears on the upper right hand margin near the stitching. The mistake was, apparently, noticed and corrected as the sheets were going through the press, as a few copies have been found with the number correctly placed. The advertisements bound in at the end and dated December, 1887 (later with the legend '1000/ 6/ 88'), are not a part of the signatures. The earlier copies bound up have 24 pages while the later ones have 32 pages. The latter are much more numerous. In one copy with 32 pages and the third type of binding the legend '2000 / 9 / 87' appears on the last page. This was in the Holden sale, April 29, 1920, and was later in the Ballard Collection. It has no blank leaf before the fore-title. There are errors in the Table of Contents, Lungtungpen being spelled 'Lungtugpen' and Muhammad being spelled 'Muhammed'. Two interesting copies were exhibited at The Grolier Club, New York, in 1929. 1. A copy in the plain binding with the following inscription in Kipling's handwriting : 'Jan. 88 : To Father and Mother from Ruddy who wrote it all by himself. 'But we, brought forth and reared in hours Of change, alarm, surprise, What shelter to grow ripe is ours, What leisure to grow wise?' The verse is from Matthew Arnold's 'In memory of the Author of Obermann'. 2. Another copy in the plain binding with the inscription: 'To The Lady of the Dedication, in sign of service I the writer sends this little

book, praying I that she will forgive a hundred I faults. I Jan: I 88.' This copy was sold for a member of the Burton family by Sothebys in the autumn of 1922, and it was generally conjectured that the 'Lady of the Dedication' was Kipling's mother. However, in an exhibition of Kipling's works at The Elms, Rottingdean, there were two letters from Kipling to a Mrs. Burton, wife of Major F. C. Burton of the Bengal Lancers stationed at Peshawar, India, in 1887-8. In the first of these, dated Wednesday, October 26, 1887, Kipling asked permission to dedicate his forthcoming book of stories to Mrs. Burton by using the expression 'To the wittiest woman in India I dedicate this book'. This letter was apparently unanswered, for on Janury 20, 1888, he again wrote to Mrs. Burton, chiding her on her neglect of correspondence and advising her that he had dispatched to her a copy of Plain Tales from the Hills on the previous day. Another presentation copy contains a poem consisting of six stanzas of four lines each commencing with the line 'Between the gum-pot and the shears'. This was presented to Mrs. S. A. Hill who quoted the poem in an article, 'The Young Kipling', in the Atlantic Monthly, April, 1936. The ten stories of the original series as it appeared in the Civil and Military Gazette and which were not collected in Plain Tales from the Hills were: 'Love in a Mist' (November 2, 1886); 'How It Happened' (November 11, 1886); 'Love: A Miss' (November 26, 1886); 'A Straight Flush' (December 1, 1886); 'A Pinchbeck Goddess' (December 10, 1886); 'A Scrap of Paper' (December 13, 1886); 'Our Theatricals' (December 16, 1886); 'A Little Learning' (February 14, 1887); 'Bitters Neat' (April 19, 1887); and 'Haunted Subalterns' (May 27, 1887). 'Bitters Neat' and 'Haunted Subalterns' were collected in volume I of the Outward Bound edition and the Edition de Luxe. 'A Little Learning' is definitely by Kipling, and 'A Pinchbeck Goddess' is by his sister. There is still some doubt as to the authorship of the remaining six. The verse headings of 'Lispeth', 'The Other Man', 'His Wedded Wife', 'Pig', 'In the Pride of His Youth', 'Thrown Away', 'Tod's Amendment', 'By Word of Mouth', 'In Error', 'The Conversion of Aurelian McGoggin', 'The Rout of the White Hussars', 'The Bronckhorst Divorce Case', 'In the House of Suddhoo', 'False Dawn', 'Cupid's Arrows', and 'A Bank Fraud' were collected as chapter headings in Songs from Books, 1912. The same volume also contained the heading of 'To Be Filed for Reference' as a separate poem with the title 'By the Hoof of the Wild Goat'; the heading of 'Wressley of the Foreign Office' as the first and last stanzas of 'Tarrant Moss'; the heading of 'A Friend's Friend' as the sixth stanza of 'Hadramauti'; and the poem in the text of 'Beyond the Pale' under the title 'The Love Song of Har Dyal'. The heading of 'Venus

Annodomini' is part of the fourth stanza of 'Diana of Ephesus', which was included in the third edition of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses but was omitted from subsequent editions of that title. (See No. 10) . The verse-headings of 'The Rescue of Pluffl.es', 'His Chance in Life'• 'Consequences', 'The Taking of Lungtungpen', 'A Germ Destroyer', 'Kidnapped', 'Broken-Link Handicap', and 'The Bisara of Pooree' were collected in Poems, 1886-1929 (London: 1929; New York: 1930), and in Verse, Definitive Edition (London: 1940; New York: 1940). The verse-headings of 'The Three Musketeers', 'The Daughter of the Regiment', and 'The Madness of Private Ortheris' do not appear to have been collected in any of the volumes of Verse; nor is there proof that they were written by Kipling. The Preface, which was repeated in subsequent editions except in certain collected sets, asserts that twenty-eight of the tales appeared originally in the Civil and Military Gazette, the proprietors of which had given permission to reprint them, and that 'the remaining tales were more or less new'. In all, thirty-two had appeared originally in that newspaper-twenty-nine in the series entitled 'Plain Tales from the Hills' and three separately. Only eight of the tales were 'more or less new'. In 1912, a one-act play by P. Davis, based on the story 'His Wedded Wife', was filed for American copyright as D.31005 on September 30. The material consists of twenty-one quarto typewritten pages. The type used for the second edition is slightly larger than the first and increases the text from 283 pages to 325 pages. In the Contents 'Kidnapped' is mis-spelled 'Kidnapper'. A copy* of the second edition is known bound in plain brown cloth. This was the copy used by the publisher's agent in London to solicit orders from the dealers. This canvass, in 1889, ended in almost complete failure. FffiST (?) AMERICAN EDITION 19 PLAIN TALES I FROM I THE HILLS.

The text is that of the second Indian edition but does not include 'A Friend's Friend'. The error 'Kudyard' on the title page was corrected for later issues. The same types were used for editions by John W. Lovell Company, 150 Worth Street, in the International Series in straw-coloured wrappers, in buff cloth as volume I in the Indian Tales Series, and in maroon cloth. Another successor firm, United States Book Co., also issued the volume in the same three bindings. Considerable investigation indicates this to be the first American edition, but the fact has not been conclusively established. The first Canadian edition, published in 1890 by John Lovell & Son, Montreal, was printed from the same types. It was No. 115 in Lovell's Star Series of Choice Fiction.

FIRST AMERICAN COLLECTED EDITION 22* Plain Tales from the Hills, Outward Bound edition, volume I, New York, 1897. For description, see Appendix D. In this volume the four Mulvaney stories are omitted, namely, 'The Three Musketeers', 'The Taking of Lungtungpen', 'The Madness of Private Ortheris', and 'The Daughter of the Regiment'. This edition contains a special Preface and Introduction not included in any previous edition and two stories not previously collected but included in the serial publication, namely: 'Bitters Neat' ( Civil and Military Gazette, April 19, 1887), and 'Haunted Subalterns' (Civil and Military Gazette, May 27, 1887). The Introduction is in the form of an allegorical address 'To the Nakhoda or Skipper of This Venture'. 'Effendi', to whom the Introduction is addressed, was F . N. Doubleday, then associated with Charles Scribner's Sons, and later head of the firm of Doubleday & McClure Co., which in 1898-9 became the regular publishers of Kipling's works in America. In 1935, Kipling addressed a Foreword for A Kipling Pageant to Mr. Doubleday's son, the late Nelson Doubleday, then a partner in Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. The Introduction of 1897 and the Foreword of 1935 were printed together and published in 1935 under the title Two Forewords and distributed among the friends of the publishers. They were also included in the Sussex edition, volume XXX, 1938, and in the Burwash edition, volume XXIII, 1941. 'A Friend's Friend' was, apparently, here published for the first time in America.

The contents are the same as those of volume I of the Outward Bound edition with one additional story, 'The Last Relief', Harper's Weekly (with unsigned head-piece), April 25, 1891, and Ludgate Monthly (with four illustrations by Frederick Waddy), May 1891. This story was not collected by Kipling until it appeared in volume XXIX of the Sussex edition, 1938, and volume XXIII of the Burwash edition, 1941. In 1899 Kipling brought action against the publishers alleging breach of copyright in respect of this and other volumes published by the same firm. He particularly objected to the use of the elephant's head device which he had himself adopted for the Outward Bound edition. The case, which is reported in Federal Reports, volume 106, pages 692-3, was decided against Kipling on the ground that the whole of the material had been published elsewhere before the American International Copyright Act became law. The elephant's head as a distinguishing mark on books had not been, and could not be, so appropriated by any one as to be an item of property entitled to protection in the law. A photostatic copy of the record in this action was in the Ballard Collection. The most interesting feature is an affidavit setting out a list of the pirated editions of Kipling's works published in the United States before the appearance of the Fenno volumes. The plates of the Fenno editions of Kipling's works were taken over by H. M. Caldwell & Co., New York and Boston, who issued various volumes in 1899 and later. MACMILLAN UNIFORM EDITION

wrappers; the remaining one, In Black and White, in cream wrappers. The covers were designed at the Mayo School of Art, Lahore, where Kipling's father, J. Lockwood Kipling, was the Director. The plates for these designs were all retouched at least once and re-engraved at least once. The publishers were Messrs. A. H. Wheeler & Co., who also published the Pioneer, the Pioneer Mail, and the Week's News at Allahabad and the Civil and Military Gazette at Lahore. These were the Indian newspapers with which Kipling was associated in India. The firm name of the publishers appears on the title page of all the first editions except Soldiers Three. After publication in India of three editions of Soldiers Three and two of each of the other five volumes, Kipling settled in England, and subsequent editions were printed in England and published both in England and India. The only differences between the English and Indian editions were: ( 1 ) the designs on the front covers of the English editions were slightly smaller than on the Indian in order to permit the name of the English publisher to appear below the design; (2) on the title page of the Indian editions, the name of only the Indian publisher appeared, but on the English editions the names of both English and Indian publishers appeared except in the first English edition of Soldiers Three, which carried the name of the English publisher only. On a few copies the name of the American publishers, Bromfield & Co., also appeared. The English publishers were Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, Ltd. In 1890, the English publishers commenced issuing the first three volumes of the Library in one volume, bound together in red cloth. In 1892, the types were reset and the contents of the six volumes were published by the same firm in two volumes, bound in blue cloth with border decorations and lettering in gold and bearing as titles: Volume 1 I Soldiers Three I The Story of the Gadsbys I In Black and White; Volume 2 I Wee Willie Winkie I Under the Deodars I The Phantom 'Rickshaw. Publication was taken over by Macmillan & Co., who in 1895 published a revised text of the same material in two volumes bearing the same titles as the editions of 1892. In 1899 the same text was issued in the Uniform edition and in 1950 in the Library edition. What are generally considered to be the first American editions were published in 1890-1 by one or other of the Lovell firms: John W. Lovell Company, United States Book Company, or Lovell, Coryell & Co. These editions did not follow the same arrangement of the material as the Indian and English editions but may be summarily described as follows: ( 1) Soldiers Three also included the eight stories from In Black and White and one story, 'Only a Subaltern', from Under the Deodars. (2) The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Tales included also the four

stories in Wee Willie Winkie and Other Child Stories. (3) The Story of the Gadsbys and Under the Deodars (the latter lacking 'Only a Subaltern' but including 26 leaves from Departmental Ditties) appeared first in 1890 as two separate volumes of Lovell's Westminster Series. In 1891 they were combined in one volume without the 'Departmental Ditties'. In 1895 Macmillan & Co. and in 1896 their American subsidiary The Macmillan Company published in New York an edition in two volumes. Each volume contained two additional stories. The second volume bore the re-arranged title, Under the Deodars I The Phantom 'Rickshaw I Wee Willie Winkie. In 1899 Doubleday & McClure Co. became the American publishers and in that year published the material in two volumes in a Copyright edition and in the Swastika and Trade editions. The Outward Bound edition, 1897, and the Edition de Luxe, 1898, contain in volume VI, under the title, Under the Deodars I The Story of the Gadsbys I Wee Willie Winkie, one additional story previously uncollected, 'Mrs. Hauksbee Sits Out'. The Ballard Collection contained copies of the first editions of five of the six volumes in the Indian Railway Library (The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Tales not being included), each containing numerous holograph revisions. These were used as copy for the second editions which appeared in 1889. Soldiers Three contains 103 corrections or revisions; The Story of the Gadsbys, 149; In Black and White, 225; Under the Deodars, 181; and Wee Willie Winkie and Other Child Stories, 130. The copy of In Black and White contains several interesting directions to the printers including the following on the Contents page: 'all the adv. arrangements back & front are d--d bad get 'em changed somehow. Look up an American book if you want a guide R.K.' Whether the volumes published by the Lovell firms were in fact the first American editions is open to doubt. The subject is discussed in the preliminary note to Plain Tales from the Hills (see No. 18). From 1911 onward the American volumes were printed at the Country Life Press.

Before the first edition was exhausted the design on the front cover was retouched and the modified design is to be found on part of the first edition and on the second edition. The chief differences are the following: ( 1) There is cross-hatching on the barrack-doors in the second type. (2) In the first issue there were no periods after 'No' and 'Library'. These were inserted in the second issue. ( 3) In the second issue the words 'Mayo School of Art, Lahore. Mufid i am Press.' appear below the design. They are not on the first issue.

The text for this edition was revised, but the changes are slight. The printers were the Aberdeen Press. The sheets printed for this edition were also used for the fourth Indian edition. The cover designs for this edition were re-engraved. The following are the more important differences on the front cover: ( 1) the dog's position is changed-his front paw is lifted; (2) Learoyd's stick is much heavier and is straight where it projects under his left arm, whereas in the previous designs it was crooked; (3) the elephant's head is much larger; ( 4) the 'No. l' has been removed from the oval and appears over the 'R' of Rudyard; ( 5) there are vertical and horizontal lines across the windows and doors; ( 6) below the design, the word 'Lahore' alone appears. The design on the back cover also was re-engraved; the pipe and boots are smaller, and the work is finer and more carefully done. Copies are known on which the design on the back cover is omitted. In later issues, advertisements are printed on the back cover and inside both covers. Of this edition ( ordered December 20, 1889) ten thousand copies were printed, of which seven thousand were bound up for the English edition and three thousand for the (fourth) Indian. The latter apparently did not sell quickly, and the remainder were stamped with the legend in purple ink: 'To further popularize this celebrated series the price is now reduced to eight annas per volume'.

1890.

This publication was No. 2 of the Indian Railway Library. It consisted of eight chapters or stories and one poem. Six of the chapters had appeared in the Week's News in 1888 and one in the Civil and Military Gazette in the same year. After publication of the first edition in 1888 and a second in 1889, the text was printed in Great Britain by the Aberdeen Press and the sheets were used for both English and Indian editions, which differ only in the front covers and the title pages. Three varieties of the cover designs are distinguishable.

On the front cover the chief differences are: ( 1 ) the trees on either side have less foliage around them; (2) the hills in the background are

On the back cover the toy horse is straighter and more 'wooden' and has longer legs. Save in respect of the title pages and front covers, there are no differences between the first English and the third Indian editions. Of this edition ten thousand copies were printed ( ordered March 4, 1890), of which seven thousand were for the English edition and three thousand for the (third) Indian.

In 1891 the United States Book Company and Lovell, Coryell & Co. issued The Story of the Gadsbys and Under the Deodars in one volume ( without 'Only a Subaltern') in maroon cloth.

This was publication No. 3 in the Indian Railway Library. The stock used for the wrappers of the first and second editions is of a cream shade, and quite different from that used for the other volumes of the Library. The volume contains eight stories, seven of which had appeared in the Week's News during 1888. The remaining story had not been published previously. Three varieties of the cover design can be distinguished. The first English edition appeared in 1890 after an Indian edition in each of the years 1888 and 1889. The sheets of the first English edition were used for the third Indian edition, which differ only in the title page and size of the cover design. The first American edition was Lovell's Soldiers Three, 1890. Volume IV of the Outward Bound edition (New York, 1897) and volume IV of the Edition de Luxe (London, 1897) bear the title In Black and White; both contain one story previously uncollected, namely, 'The Enlightenments of Pagett, M.P.'.

Signature marks: 2, 3, 4, etc. on pp. 17, 33, 49, etc. This was the first edition printed in England. The same sheets were used for the third Indian edition, and the editions differ only in the cover design and title pages. New plates were used for the cover designs, which differ widely in detail from those of earlier editions. The chief differences on the front cover are: (1) the words 'In Black' are entirely above the lines of shading; (2) the hands are clutching the scroll, not merely touching it; (3) only the word 'Lahore' appears immediately below the design; ( 4) there are no periods after 'No' or 'Library' or 'Co's' or 'Rupee'; (5) the elephant's tusks point downward; (6) initial letters in the words of the title are taller than the remaining letters. The chief difference in the design on the back cover is the addition of a pair of sandals under the couch; the bed is lower and has smaller legs. Ten thousand copies were printed (ordered June 12, 1890), of which seven thousand were for the English edition and three thousand for the (third) Indian edition. In 1891 the text was again revised, but the changes are slight. One of the most important is that the Introduction begins with the word 'Heavenbom' instead of 'Hazur'. FIRST AMERICAN COLLECTED EDITION 40* In Black & White, Outward Bound edition, volume IV, New York, 1897. For description, see Appendix D. In addition to the eight stories originally appearing under this title, fifteen other stories are printed with them in this format; thirteen of these are taken from Life's Handicap (1891), one is from Many Inventions (1893), and the final story, 'The Enlightenments of Pagett, M.P.' is here first collected from the Contemporary Review, September, 1890.

Lovell, in the same formats; by Lovell, Coryell & Co.; and by American Publishers Association, and Frank F. Lovell Co. in maroon cloth. Sheets printed from the same plates were used for editions issued by many other publishers-a practice that ultimately led to a break between Kipling and the Lovell interests.

In 1892 the English publishers of the Indian Railway Library, Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, Ltd., published the material of Nos. 1-6 of that library in two volumes. The text was that of the first English editions, but the new volumes were printed from new types. In 1895 Macmillan & Co. published the same material in two volumes. The text was revised. In 1899 the same two volumes were included in the Uniform edition, and in 1949, in the Library edition. In 1895 Macmillan & Co. also brought out an American edition in two volumes, but each volume contained two additional stories. In 1896, Macmillan & Co. having become incorporated and having formed an American subsidiary company, The Macmillan Company, the latter name was substituted on the title page. In 1899 Doubleday & McClure Co. took over the Macmillan plates and published the same two volumes in the Copyright edition and in the Swastika and Trade editions. In the Outward Bound edition and the Edition de Luxe, the stories in the Indian Railway Library volumes 1-6, together with stories from Life's Handicap, Many Inventions, and other sources, were distributed over volumes II-VI without regard to the original arrangement.

In addition to the stories and poems in the English edition, this volume contains two stories not previously collected, namely: 'Of Those Called', Civil and Military Gazette, July 13, Turn-overs, volume VII, 1889, with the title 'Abaft the Funnel-No. VI.'; and 'The Wreck of the Visigoth', Civil and Military Gazette, April 25, Turn-overs, volume VI, 1889, with the title 'Abaft the Funnel-No. III.'. An inscribed copy* of Soldiers Three in the Uniform edition was presented by Kipling to the Wardroom of H.M.S. Nile in 1901 along with a set of the Uniform edition of his works. Kipling had been entertained as a guest aboard this ship while she was undergoing fleet manreuvres.

UNDER THE DEODARS FIRST (INDIAN) EDITION, 1888; SECOND INDIAN EDITION, 1889; FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, 1890; AND FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, 1890. Under the Deodars was No. 4 of the Indian Railway Library and contained six stories of which five had appeared previously in the Week's News in 1888. At least five variants of the cover design are distinguishable. In later editions, advertisements take the place of the design on the back cover. The first edition was published in India in 1888, the second in 1889. The third edition was printed in England and published both in England and India in 1890. The first American edition was published by United States Book Company in the Westminster Series in 1890. Twenty-six leaves from Departmental Ditties were included, presumably to bring the book up to size. 'Only a Subaltern', having appeared in Soldiers Three in the Lovell editions, was not included.

Two varieties of the front cover are known, the second being distinguishable by the heavier shading in the spaces around 'No. 4' and 'One Rupee'. At the Exhibition of the Grolier Club in 1929 there was a MS. written in 1884 of an unfinished story entitled 'At the Pit's Mouth'. It differs substantially from the story here included. It has numerous marginal notes indicating how the story should be worked out. A copy of Under the Deodars shown there has the inscription 'To Mrs. Carmichael-Carr, a woman of the World, from Rudyard Kipling, who thought he knew all about everything and in that belief wrote this book: June, '89'. A manuscript of 'The Hill of Illusion' was presented by Kipling to the Red Cross for sale in 1916. It was accompanied by a letter signed by him dated September 6, 1916.

The designs for the covers were retouched twice for the second edition. The first retouching shows the following differences from those used on the first edition: 'Mayo School of Art, Lahore' appears below the design; below the figure of the monkey at the left of the design the shading lines are cross-hatched; and generally the lines are finer and clearer on both front and back cover designs. In the second retouching the only difference from the previous one is that the legend below the design reads 'Mayo School of Art Lahore. Mufid i am Press.' FIRST ENGLISH EDITION

The design for the front cover was re-engraved and differs in detail throughout from earlier designs. The chief differences are as follows: ( 1) the parasol carried by the occupant of the 'rickshaw is tilted to the left, whereas it is held erect on the first and second editions; (2) the mountains in the background are heavily shaded and show greater detail and the outline of the mountains has been changed; (3) there is no shading about 'No. 4'; ( 4) the lettering of the title is smaller than on the preceding editions; (5) the monkey's arms are outstretched and the position of the tail is shifted. The third and subsequent Indian editions differ only in the front cover and the title page. On an order dated July 30, 1890, ten thousand copies were printed, of which seven thousand were reserved for the English edition and three thousand for the (third) Indian.

AND

This volume is No. 5 of the Indian Railway Library. There were two Indian editions ( 1888 and 1889) before the first English edition, which was published in 1890 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, Ld. The third Indian edition was made from sheets printed for the first English edition and differs from it only in the front cover and the title page. The first American edition was published by the John W. Lovell Company in 1890 and also contained the four stories of Wee Willie Winkie and Other Stories. In 1899 a separate edition of 'The Man Who Would Be King' was published by Doubleday & McClure Co. The cover designs were both retouched and re-engraved. FIRST (INDIAN) EDITION 51 * The Phantom 'Rickshaw I AND OTHER TALES. I BY I RUDYARD KIPLING. I [rule] I PUBLISHED BY I Messrs. A.H. WHEELER & co., I ALLAHABAD. I [1888]. 4to ( 8 ¾ X 5 ¾). In greenish-grey wrappers; lettering and design on front cover and design on back cover in black; Indian Railway Library, No. 5. The title on front cover is 'The Phantom 'Rickshaw & other Eerie Tales'. Collation ( 4 leaves, pp. 114, 4 leaves) : advertisements, title page with '[REPRINTED IN CHIEF FROM THE "WEEK'S NEWS."]' on verso, Preface, Contents, 4 leaves; text, pp. [1]-114; 4 leaves of advertisements (pp. [i]-vii), p.

The collection consists of four stories, two of which, 'The Phantom 'Rickshaw' and 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes', had appeared in Quartette, 1885; 'My Own True Ghost Story' was collected from the Week's News (February 25, 1888); and the final story of the series, 'The Man Who Would Be King', had not been previously published.

Two forms of the front cover have been noted: ( 1) the apostrophe before ' 'Rickshaw' is missing and there are no periods after the 'A' and 'H' of the publisher's initials; (2) the missing marks have been inserted. The legend 'Mayo School of Art, Lahore Mufid i am Press, Lahore' appears below the design on the second type but on the first type it is simply 'Mufid i am Press'. Mrs. Livingston reports that the first type was used for only a few copies--only eight in the first edition and three in the second edition having been reported. These figures require drastic upward revision as copies are frequently turning up. The compiler's own experience is that they are almost as common as those bearing the second type, particularly in the case of the second edition. A copy* is known inscribed, 'The Pater I from I Ruddy his son. I Feb. '89.' A previous inscription, 'Sibyl from Ruddy' is stroked out. SECOND INDIAN EDITION 52* SECOND EDITION.

Signature marks: 2, 3, 4, etc. on pp. 17, 33, 49, etc. The text was revised for this edition. The design on the front cover was re-engraved and shows the following major differences from former plates: (1) there are no periods after 'A' or 'H' or 'No'; (2) the lotus blossom in the elephant's trunk is more slanted, larger, and more opened; (3) the crown on the right-hand side below the title is of a different type; ( 4) only the word 'Lahore' appears immediately below the design; ( 5) the figures on either side of the skeleton are more clearly drawn. The third Indian edition was made up from sheets printed for the first English edition. Ten thousand copies were ordered printed on September 22, 1890, of which seven thousand were reserved for the English edition and three thousand for the (third) Indian edition. The two editions differ only in the front covers and the title pages.

AND

Wee Willie Winkie was No. 6 of the Indian Railway Library and consisted of four stories, three of which were first published in the Week's News in 1888. The fourth, 'The Drums of the Fore and Aft', had not been published previously. The cover designs were retouched at least three times and re-engraved twice. After the Indian editions of 1888 and 1889, the sheets for all later editions were printed in England and used for both Indian and English editions. For the first English and subsequent editions the word 'Child' was dropped from the title. The American editions of Wee Willie Winkie have included also The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Tales. A separate edition of 'The Drums of the Fore and Aft' was published by Doubleday & McOure Co. in 1899. FIRST (INDIAN) EDITION 54* Wee Willie Winkie I AND OTHER CHILD STORIES. I BY I RUDYARD KIPLING.

The source of the four-line verse heading (p. 25) to the second part of 'Baa, Baa, Black Sheep' (ascribed to 'The City of Dreadful Night') is in error; these lines are an adaptation from A. H. Clough's ode, 'Easter Day'. The plate used for the front cover of this edition was retouched three times, the four types being distinguishable as follows: (1) no periods follow the 'A' and 'H' of the publisher's initials; (2) with periods inserted. The words 'Mufid i am Press Lahore' are in smaller type; ( 3) 'Moyo School of Art, Lahore' below the design; ( 4) 'Moyo' corrected to 'Mayo'. There are many differences in the design as well. The third and fourth types were used for a part of the second edition. A copy of this first edition inscribed with a seventeen-line poem commencing, 'I cannot write, I cannot think' was presented by Kipling to Mrs. S. A. Hill early in 1889. She published this poem in her article, 'The Young Kipling', in the Atlantic Monthly, April, 1936. SECOND INDIAN EDITION

Mufid i am Press' below the design. In this type there is no period after 'A'; the letters 'y', 'n', and 'a', particularly, are quite different from previous types; there is no shading on the elephant's tusks, and the expression on the face of the central figure is much less pleasant. Copies are known without any legend below the design. The design on the back cover also was changed, the principal differences being: (1) the cap decoration is a lotus flower instead of a castle; (2) the fife player has only two fingers above the fife instead of three as in the earlier designs.

The faces and clothes of the natives are different from those of the earlier editions; ( 3) the elephant's tusks are pointing slightly downward; ( 4) the boy's hat ( on the ground) has been omitted; ( 5) the word 'Child' is omitted from the title; ( 6) there is no period after 'H' in the publisher's initials.

The types of volumes 4, 5, and 6 in the Indian Railway Library were reset for the first edition under this title, which was published in 1892 by Sampson Low, Marston, & Company. The text was revised for the edition of 1895 published by Macmillan & Co. in England. The types were again reset for their Uniform edition in 1899 and for the Library edition of 1949. The first collected American edition, also published by Macmillan & Co., bore a re-arranged title, Under the Deodars coming first, and contained two additional stories. In 1896 it was issued by The Macmillan Company, the newly created American subsidiary of Macmillan & Co. In 1899, publication was taken over by Doubleday & McClure Co., who issued the collection in a Copyright edition and in the Swastika and Trade editions.

"TURNOVERS" (OR "TURN-OVERS") "TURNOVERS", VOLUMES I-IX, 1888-1890, AND 'MY GREAT AND ONLY', 1890. During the years 1888-1890, a series of twelve volumes was published quarterly at the Civil and Military Gazette Press, Lahore, India, each containing stories and articles which had appeared in the columns of that paper during the preceding three months. The title of the series was derived from the position in the paper occupied by the stories and articles. They began in the last column on page one and ended in the first column of page two, which space was reserved for late newscables. The length of the story or article was thus subject to last minute adjustment. In volume I the title is "Turnovers"; in the others, "Tum-overs". Volumes I-IX contain material by Kipling. In all, fifty-nine of the articles and stories and one poem have been identified as his. Of these all but twenty have been collected. Extracts from three of these were included in The Kipling Birthday Book, 1896. Facsimiles of the front cover and title page are reproduced in Mrs. Livingston's Bibliography, the title page containing the following paragraph, possibly by Kipling: 'The Daily Press has always been the grave of many of the best things that the best writers have produced.' We have rescued from our columns of the last three months some literary trifles, in the hope that, like flies in amber, a few may be found still to retain an interest, long after the weightier matters which they incongruously accompanied in publication, have been pigeon-holed by Time and forgotten.

It has been said that no complete run of Turn-overs exists in any collection. Volumes VIII and XI were missing in the Ballard Collection. There is in a Canadian collection* a set complete, except volume XI, which contains nothing by Kipling. One story, 'My Great and Only', was printed from the types of the Civil and Military Gazette and bound up in green wrappers. The manuscripts, or at any rate first drafts of the manuscripts, of

several of the stories in Turn-overs, interspersed with 'From Sea to Sea' letters, are contained in the two black leather manifold books now in the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, which are more fully described under the heading 'American Notes'. (See introductory comment to No. 97.) CONTENTS

Volume I of these manifold books contains the following stories or sketches: The Giraffe Lover, published as 'A Menagerie Aboard' in Turnovers volume V; 'The Wandering Jew', The Snake Story (as 'Reingelder and the German Flag'), The Shipwreck of the Ringala ( as 'The Wreck of the Visigoth'), and 'It!' in Turn-overs volume VI; and 'The Red Lamp' in VII. Volume II contains: 'The Lang Men o'Larut' published in Turn-overs volume VI; two unfinished and unpublished items, Sons of Belial, and A Daughter of Heth; 'Griffiths, The Safe Man'; The Phantom Ship (as 'Of Those Called' ); The Manilla Thief ( as 'A Smoke of Manila'); The Cat That Saved the Ship (as 'Erastasius of the Whanghoa'); The Shadow of His Hand'; and 'The Bow-Flume Cable-Car' in Turn-overs volume VII

Either carbon copies of the leaves in the manifold books, with numerous revisions, or fair copies prepared from these carbon copies were sent back by Kipling to the Pioneer at Allahabad or to the Civil and Military Gazette at Lahore.

Of the above 'The Great Census' is collected in The Smith Administration, 1891; 'Mister Anthony Dawking', 'The Luck of Roaring Camp', and 'The Fallen Idol' are collected in The City of Dreadful Night and Other Sketches, 1890; 'The Fallen Idol' appears in Abaft the Funnel, 1909; and 'Bubbling Well Road' is collected in Life's Handicap, 1891. None of the other items have been collected. Mrs. Livingston lists 'The City of Patan' [March 13] and 'Pak Patan' [March 24] as by 'The Traveller'. This is an error, both being by 'A Traveller'-a pseudonym never, so far as can be ascertained, used by Kipling. There is a copy of volume I in which Kipling has written 'Don't remember this' opposite 'My Sheep' (By the Memsahib) and 'The Minstrel' (By His Owner's Friend). The latter, however, is probably by Kipling. All of the twelve volumes of the "Turn-overs" follow the format of volume I. Slight variations in size exist between the several numbers, but none vary more than ¼ inch in height nor ¼ inch in width. The volume numbers do not appear on the covers of the first four issues, but volumes V-XII are so marked. The several title pages are seemingly identical save for the date line of each volume, and there are slight variations in end punctuation and in the size of the French rule preceding the publisher's imprint.

The word 'Patiala' is written in ink on the front cover. This pamphlet was printed from the types of the Civil and Military Gazette, January 11 and 15, 1890, in which the story first appeared. It was included in Abaft the Funnel, 1909. A facsimile of the front cover is printed in Ballard's 'My Kipling Collection'. Only one copy is known-that formerly in the Ballard Collection.

EDITION,

1890; and 'Record of Badalia

It is said that Kipling, while in the United States in 1889, submitted a number of his short stories to Messrs. Harper & Brothers of New York, but that the stories were declined with the statement that the firm was interested only in literature. Nevertheless, in the following year the firm acquired the serial rights to five stories which were published in Harper's Weekly between March and August, 1890. In September, Harper & Brothers published these five stories, together with 'The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney' ( which appeared without permission in 'Harper's Short Stories' in the same month) as volume No. 680 of Harper's Franklin Square Library under the title 'The Courting of Dinah Shadd and Other Stories'. In the October 4, 1890, issue of the Athenaeum an item by Kipling appeared in the column 'Literary Gossip' intimating that Harper & Brothers had been guilty of literary piracy. A lively controversy ensued in the columns of the Athenaeum, culminating in the announcement by Messrs. Harper in the issue of December 13 that in place of 'The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney' they had substituted 'The Record of Badalia Herodsfoot', having acquired the serial rights thereto by purchase. In the course of the controversy, Walter Besant, William Black, and Thomas Hardy wrote to the Athenaeum stating that in their experience, Harper & Brothers had been fair to foreign authors. Kipling's counterblast was 'The Rhyme of the Three Captains' which appeared in the issue of December 6. The exchange of letters in the Athenaeum and the poem were reprinted with notes by Paul Lemperley in 1898 in a pamphlet entitled 'The Courting of Dinah Shadd. A Contribution to a Bibliography of the Writings of Rudyard Kipling' (see No. 706). The first edition of the stories is dated September, 1890. The second, in which 'The Record of Badalia Herodsfoot' was substituted for 'The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney', also bears the date of September, 1890, but did not appear until December. The six stories in the first

edition were published with Kipling's authority in 1891 by United States Book Company in a volume entitled Mine Own People. This printing contains six additional stories. The first English edition was Life's Handicap, which included five of the six stories in the first Harper edition, the additional six stories in Mine Own People, and twelve further stories and one poem. The omitted story, 'A Conference of the Powers', was included in Many Inventions, 1893, as 'The Conference of the Powers'. 'The Record of Badalia Herodsfoot' appeared in the Christmas issue of the Detroit Free Press in November, and in Harper's Weekly, November 15 and 22, 1890. Three of the stories, 'The Courting of Dinah Shadd', 'Without Benefit of Clergy', and 'The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney', were published separately by Doubleday & McClure Co. in 1899. It should be noted that cordial relations were later established between Kipling and Harper & Brothers, and that the latter aligned themselves with Kipling in the copyright controversy with G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1899. FIRST EDITION 76* THE COURTING OF DINAH SHADD I AND OTHER STORIES I BY J RUDYARD KIPLING I AUTHOR OF "PLAIN TALES FROM THE HILLS" ETC.

CONTENTS

In addition to the fifty poems contained in the fourth edition of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses, this volume contains thirteen ballads and four other poems which had not previously been collected by Kipling. The thirteen ballads had been published during 1890 in the Scots Observer under the general title 'Barrack-Room Ballads'. Of the four 'Other Verses', three had appeared in the same periodical and the other in the English Illustrated Magazine. The following uncollected poems are listed with their dates of prior publication: Barrack-Room Ballads in The Scots Observer 'Danny Deever', No. 1, February 22, 1890, also in Week's News and New York Tribune, March 23, 1890; 'Tommy', No. 2, March 1; 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy', No. 3, March 15; 'Oonts!', No. 4, March 22; 'Loot', No. 5, March 29; 'Soldier, Soldier', No. 6, April 12; 'The Sons of the Widow', No. 7, April 26; 'Troopin' ', No. 8, May 17; 'Gunga Din', No. 9, June 7, also in New York Tribune, June 22, 1890; 'Mandalay', No. 10, June 21; 'The Young British Soldier', No. 11, June 28; 'Screw-Guns', No. 12, July 12; 'Belts', No. 13, July 26, the third stanza of this poem was originally used as the 4th stanza of 'The Way Av Ut' (Pioneer, October 8, 1888).

Copies are known with only one blank leaf in front and none at the end and with 'Lovell, Coryell' or 'American Publishing Co.' instead of the word 'Lovell' on the spine; such copies also are without the copyright notice on verso of the title page. These are later printings. The first twenty-six leaves were bound up with Under the Deodars and issue,;l by United States Book Company as No. 23 in Lovell's Westminster St!ries, November 3, 1890 (see No. 49). Five of these poems and one additional poem by Kipling appeared in the "One and All" Gazette and Chronicle* of the 1st Battalion, Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, as follows: Vol. III, No. 12, March 31, 1890, 'The Queen's Uniform' ('Tommy'); Vol. IV, No. 2, June, 1890, 'Loot'; Vol. IV, No. 3, July, 1890, 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy'; Vol. IV, No. 4, August, 1890, 'Gunga Din'; Vol. IV, No. 5, September, 1890, 'The Sons of the

The first edition of this novel was a copyright issue prepared in London for J.B. Lippincott Company and filed for copyright on November 7, 1890. The serial rights were acquired by Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, in which the story appeared with the same text in the issue of January, 1891. On November 12, 1890, the United States Book Company deposited No. 25 of their Westminster Series, dated December 5, 1890, in the Library of Congress. The first public issue was Lippincott's Monthly Magazine ( of which the Australian edition was the first issued), and public sale of the Westminster Series No. 25 was held up until after its appearance. All of these issues had the same text, consisting of twelve chapters with the so-called 'happy ending'. On November 26, 1890, the United States Book Company deposited in the Library of Congress an edition containing fourteen chapters with the so-called 'sad ending'. Thus both versions were ready for issue in book form before the first public appearance of the novel in the magazine.

RUDYARD KIPLING

In 1891 the first English trade edition was published by Macmillan & Co.; it contained fifteen chapters with the 'sad ending' and the poem 'Mother o' Mine' was included for the first time. Meanwhile M. J. Ivers & Co. issued in their American Series (dated January 17, 1891) a version containing eleven chapters and the 'happy ending'. This text was never approved by Kipling nor issued with his permission. The text of the fifteen-chapter version was revised for the Outward Bound edition and Edition de Luxe in 1897 and again revised and published by Doubleday & McClure Co. in 1899 in a Copyright edition and in the Swastika and Trade editions. A copy of the Outward Bound edition with revisions in Kipling's holograph was in the Ballard Collection. This was the copy used for the first Doubleday edition in 1899. The same text was used for Macmillan's Uniform edition in 1899. In 1903, Doubleday, Page & Company published an edition with eight plates taken from the dramatic version acted by Forbes-Robertson and Miss Gertrude Elliott. Curiously enough, the play version was that with the 'happy ending', but the text has the 'sad ending'. Play-Pictorial No. 9, 1902, contained a series of illustrations from the same dramatic version. In 1925 Charles Renard Co., New York, published an edition having the revised text of 1899 with sixteen plates from the film version produced by Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. In 1915 a play in three acts and a prologue was, with Mr. Kipling's permission, written by George Fleming and filed for copyright on May 1, 1915, as No. D.40539. The copyright material consists of 122 typewritten, 4to pages.

The English edition of the magazine does not have the date line 'January, 1891' below the title at the top of page 3 as does the American issue. [Editor's note: some copies examined do show this date line.] Ward, Lock, Bowden & Co., London, the publishers of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in England, published a volume entitled Five Complete Novels made up of the sheets of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine for January-May, 1891, with a title page and Index. A month later, the six numbers-January to June, 1891-were issued together by the Ward, Lock Co. under the title Six Complete Novels with a new Index and title page. In both cases the title pages and advertisements in the issues of the magazines have been removed. LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE (AMERICAN) EDITION

Signature marks: B, C, D, etc. on pp. [1], 17, 33, etc. This is the first edition with the fifteen chapters and the 'sad ending' and, according to the Preface, contains the story as originally conceived by the author. It is also the first appearance of 'Mother o' Mine'. This poem in 1918 was included in a pamphlet entitled 'Mother's Day' printed in England for the American Y.M.C.A. for distribution to members of the American armed forces. The chief difference between this version and the fourteen-chapter American edition is the insertion in this version (as Chapter VIII) of a description of a meeting of war correspondents and artists in Torpenhow's rooms in London. The chapter heading is four lines of verse from 'Hiawatha' by H. W. Longfellow. A copy shown at the Grolier Club Exhibition is inscribed 'To The Ladies of Warwick Gardens from Ruddy Ap.; 91.' The sheets of the English edition were used for the American edition by Macmillan & Co. and, after 1896, by The Macmillan Company, but no Macmillan edition was printed in the United States. There were reprintings in April, July, and December, 1891, and in 1892, 1895, 1896, 1897, and 1898. In 1899 this novel was published in the Uniform edition.

suppressed by Kipling. There is no evidence that Kipling's objections were based on a denial of authorship of any of the contents. On the contrary, his objection was that the copyright belonged to him and that he did not wish the material to be published in book form. The volume consisted of two groups of sketches, 'The City of Dreadful Night' containing seven articles on Calcutta which had appeared in the Pioneer in 1888, and 'Miscellaneous Sketches' made up of eleven stories or sketches, ten of which had appeared in the Civil and Military Gazette and one in the Pioneer. Six of the Miscellaneous Sketches had been reprinted in Turn-overs; ( see Nos. 66-74). One of these and two others from the Turn-overs were later included in The Smith Administration. The remaining three were never reprinted with Kipling's authority. The only copy* of this volume now known to exist is that formerly in the Ballard Collection. It contains the following certificate on the front end-sheet signed by the General Manager of the Pioneer Press: 'Of this book an edition of 3000 I copies printed for Wheeler & Co. was I cancelled. A new volume bearing I the same title was subsequently issued I by the Pioneer Press, but containing dif- I ferent matter to that found in this I volume.

'The Killing of Hatirn Tai', 'The Opinions of Gunner Barnabas', and 'Bread Upon the Waters' were reprinted in The Smith Administration, 1891. 'A Fallen Idol' and 'Tiglath Pileser' were included in Abaft the Funnel, 1909. 'Bread Upon the Waters' is not the same story as 'Bread Upon the Waters' in The Day's Work, 1898. This, the only known copy, was sold by the late E. A. Denham in 1899 for $900. It was presented to the late E. A. Ballard by a client for whom he acted as junior counsel; when sold in the Ballard sale in 1942, it brought $2200.

THE SMITH ADMINISTRATION An edition of three thousand copies of The Smith Administration was printed by A. H. Wheeler & Co. without Kipling's sanction. The collection contains twenty stories, three of which had been included in The City of Dreadful Night and Other Sketches, 1890. With the exception of 'The Tracking of Chuckerbutti' and 'Bread Upon the Waters', the stories were included in From Sea to Sea, New York, 1899, London, 1900 under the sub-title, 'The Smith Administration'. The evidence seems to indicate that Kipling's dispute with A. H. Wheeler & Co. was a protracted one. He insisted that the entire edition of The Smith Administration be destroyed, but six copies are known to

LETTERS OF MARQUE FIRST (INDIAN) EDITION, 1891; FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, 1891.

A. H. Wheeler & Co. proposed to publish an Indian edition of Letters of Marque in one volume and an English edition in two volumes. The Indian edition and volume I of the English edition were printed and in the process of being bound when publication was suppressed by Kipling, who ordered that the entire stock be destroyed. The Indian edition consisted of one thousand copies, of which nine hundred were supposed to have been destroyed. It is not, however, a rare item, although fine copies are seldom found. Six copies of the English edition are known to have survived. These contain the first eleven letters or chapters. The first American edition of the material is Out of India, an unauthorized volume published in 1895, which included also the material in The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places. The letters with a revised text were published by Kipling in volume I of From Sea to Sea, New York, 1899, London, 1900.

Most of the known copies bear a date on the front end-papers, impressed by rubber stamp. This was the date on which the book was dispatched from the publisher's premises. There was but one edition. One copy is known, bound in grey cloth and measuring 9 X 6. This belonged to E.W. Bulkeley, formerly of the Pioneer Press, and bears on the fore-title the inscription in his hand: 'This edition of Letters of Marque was published in India only.' Four unfinished copies also are known consisting of the sheets stitched and laid in the covers but not bound in. The leaves are untrimmed and measure 9½ 6 X 53/s.

AMERICAN NOTES Early in March, 1889, Kipling, in company with Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Hill, sailed from Calcutta on the S.S. Madura en route to England. At Rangoon the party transferred to the S.S. Africa, which after touching at Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canton brought them to Nagasaki. After spending a month in Japan, they sailed on the S.S. City of Peking and arrived at San Francisco on May 28. After visiting many centres in the United States, Kipling sailed for England on the S.S. City of Berlin on September 25.

During the trip Kipling sent back to the Pioneer a series of letters under the general title 'From Sea to Sea' describing his experiences and impressions, as well as a number of stories to be used as 'Turn-overs' in the Civil and Military Gazette. Early in 1891 a series of extracts from the letters with a letter or part of a letter not in the 'From Sea to Sea' series appeared in the Detroit Free Press, the Chicago Daily Tribune, the Philadelphia Press, and the New York Herald. The extracts used in the Free Press differ somewhat from those in the others, particularly in the headings and sub-headings, but each of these printings contained substantially the same material. No. 230 of Ivers' American Series, bearing the date February 14, 1891, contains in book form the extracts as they appeared in the New York Herald, together with a reply from Harriet P. Eaton and a criticism by Andrew Lang. A number of other houses published the extracts at about the same time, but that by Ivers appears to be the first. It should, however, be pointed out that the dates on these libraries or series which were issued weekly are not by any means to be taken as the actual dates of publication. In order for the series to qualify for second-class postal rates, the publishers were obliged to issue one volume a week, but the volume actually posted on any date was not necessarily the one which bore that date. Post Office records are destroyed after a few years, and none covering the period in question is now available. In connection with Ivers' publication of American Notes, a curious fact is that the date of publication it bears is earlier than the appearance of the last of the extracts in the American newspapers.

RUDYARD KIPLING

Brothers. Mine Own People contains a letter from Kipling (in facsimile) which has given rise to much speculation. It reads : 'A little less than half of these stories have been printed in America in book form without my authority and under a name not of my choosing. I have been forced in self defence to include these tales in the present volume which has my authority. I owe it to the courtesy of my American publishers that I have had the opportunity of myself preparing the present book.' Since there are twelve stories in the book, 'a little less than half' could not be more than five. Kipling's statement inspired a search for a book of his stories published prior to Mine Own People and containing five stories. Solton Engel of New York and Captain E. W. Martindell of England were of the opinion that a volume published by Hurst & Co., New York, containing five of the stories must be the offending book. Mrs. Livingston, however, has shown that no Kipling book was published by that firm prior to 1898. Two explanations are possible. Kipling, when writing the note, may have had before him the second edition of The Courting of Dinah Shadd and Other Stories, which contained 'The Record of Badalia Herodsfoot' as one of the six stories in place of 'The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney'. This story was not included in Mine Own People. Hence the second edition of The Courting of Dinah Shadd and Other Stories contained only five, or less than half, of the stories in Mine Own People. The other (and more probable) explanation, however, is that Kipling was writing from memory and forgot the number of stories in Harper & Brothers' book. There can be no doubt whatever that he was referring to that volume. All of the stories except 'A Conference of the Powers' were included in Life's Handicap, 1891. That story was included in Many Inventions under the title 'The Conference of the Powers'.

THE NAULAHKA FIRST (ENGLISH) EDITION, 1892; FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, 1892; and the prior edition of the poems: Rhymed Chapter Headings, copyright edition, 1892.

The Naulahka was Kipling's only serious attempt at literary collaboration in the sense of joint authorship. His collaborator was Wolcott Balestier, a young American author and publisher's agent whose sister,

Caroline Starr Balestier, became Kipling's wife on January 18, 1892, shortly after Wolcott's untimely death. The Balestier family home at the time was in Vermont, and the Kiplings, shortly after their marriage, made a brief visit to Vermont en route to the Orient. On returning from the East, Kipling built his first home near Brattleboro, Vermont, and called it Naulakha [sic], in memory of his collaboration with Wolcott. He lived there from 1892 to 1896. An unfortunate altercation with a member of the Balestier family and the unfriendliness of certain classes of Americans toward Great Britain were the chief reasons for Kipling's decision to return to England. Much of the descriptive material for the book is drawn from Kipling's letters published in the Pioneer and collected as Letters of Marque. The novel first appeared, without the chapter headings, in the Century Magazine, November, 1891, to July, 1892. In 1892, a copyright edition of the chapter headings in verse was published in the United States by Macmillan & Co. The first American edition was published by Macmillan & Co., who continued as publishers until 1896 when publication was taken over by The Macmillan Company. The only change in subsequent editions after 1896 is in the title page and binding. In 1899, publication was taken over by Doubleday & McClure Co., who published the text not only in the same format but also in the Authorized, Swastika, and Trade editions. In England, the first edition was published by William Heinemann, who continued to publish until 1901, when fresh plates were used for a volume in Macmillan's Uniform edition. The type was reset for the Library edition of 1949.

All but eight of the poems had previously appeared in periodicals. Twentytwo of them appeared in the Scots Observer or its successor, the National Observer, and of these, sixteen had been included in Departmental Ditties, Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses, New York, 1890. (See No. 79.) The English edition was the first of Kipling's works to be published by Methuen & Co., who were thereafter the publishers in England of Kipling's poetical works except Songs from Books and certain single poems and volumes of Collected Verse and Inclusive Verse. The second American edition contained four additional poems. In England three of these were included in The Seven Seas, 1896; the other, 'The Dove of Dacca', in Collected Verse, 1912.

Copies of Barrack-Room Ballads are known bound in vellum with the same lettering, size, and design as the regular edition. There are two limited issues: (1) thirty copies, printed on Japan vellum and bound in white cloth with vellum backstrip; (2) * two hundred and twenty-five copies, printed on Dutch hand-made paper and bound in red cloth of the same stock as was used for the regular edition. In both special issues the title page is printed in red and black; both have a limitation note signed by the publishers on verso of the title page; both measure 9¾ 6 X 6 (leaf 9 X 5½). An Indian edition, printed from the same type, was published by Thacker, Spink & Co., Calcutta.

They were written in the style and manner of Robert Browning and James Whitcomb Riley respectively.

THE JUNGLE BOOK FIRST (ENGLISH) EDITION, 1894; FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, 1894; ENGLISH EDITION WITH DETMOLD ILLUSTRATIONS, 1908; AMERICAN EDITION WITH DETMOLD ILLUSTRATIONS, 1913; AMERICAN EDITION WITH WIESE ILLUSTRATIONS, 1932; AMERICAN SCHOOL EDITION, 1932;

and the subsequent separate authorized edition, 'Toomai of the Elephants', 1937. The Jungle Book consists of seven stories and seven poems, of which only the stories had previously appeared in periodicals. When collected, each of the stories has an additional verse heading appended. The first English edition was published by Macmillan & Co., who have continued to publish all subsequent English editions, including the Uniform edition of 1899 and the Library edition of 1950. The first American edition was published by the Century Co., whose name continued on the title page until 1921, when it was replaced by that of Doubleday, Page & Company in the Trade edition. There are numerous differences between the English and American editions. The names of the jungle animals are changed: in the English, the kite is Chil, in the American, Rann; in the English, the porcupine is Sahi, in the American, Ikki; in the English, the peacock is Mor, in the American, Moa. In the American edition, 'Tiger! Tiger!' has seven lines at the end not found in the English edition. The last story is entitled 'The Servants of the Queen' in the English edition, but 'Her Majesty's Servants' in the American. There is no list of illustrations in the English edition. In November, 1903, a portfolio containing sixteen coloured illustrations for The Jungle Book by Messrs. Maurice and Edward Detmold was published by Macmillan & Co. These illustrations were used for an edition of The Jungle Book published by Macmillan & Co. in London, 1908, and by the Century Co. in New York in 1913. In 1924, The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book were published together, both in London and New York, under the title The Two Jungle Books. One of the Detmold illustrations in colour was used as the frontispiece. School editions of The Jungle Book were published, in England by Macmillan & Co. in 1926, and in the United States by Doubleday, Doran & Company in 1932. In 1932 also, Doubleday, Doran & Company published an edition of The Jungle Book with eighteen illustrations by Kurt Wiese. In 1948, the stories and poems in The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book were published in two volumes by Doubleday & Company under the title

The Jungle Books. Volume I contained the Mowgli stories and related poems, and volume II the remaining stories and poems. Three of the stories and four of the poems were included in Animal Stories, London, 1932, and New York, 1934. Three of the stories and three poems were included in All the Mowgli Stories, London, 1933, and New York, 1936. There was a separate edition of 'Toomai of the Elephants' in London in 1937 with illustrations from the English film production of 'The Elephant Boy'. In the Ballard collection there were copies of The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book each containing a large number of original extra illustrations in colour done by W. H. Drake, one of the illustrators of series.

Mall Magazine, March, 1894 (with 4 illustrations by P. Frenzeny), Harper's Weekly, March 3, 1894 (with head piece and 1 illustration by Church and the title 'Her Majesty's Servants'); and 'Parade Song of the Camp Animals'.

All of the poems were collected in Songs from Books, London, 1913. In some copies there is no blank leaf before the fore-title. The dust wrappers on the first issues were plain, but in and after 1895 pictorial wrappers were used bearing illustrations from the book. A set of four illustrations of subjects from The Jungle Book was made by J. M. Gleeson and published in Outing, December, 1906. The Jungle Book was reprinted twice in 1894, twice in 1895, and once each in 1896, 1897, 1898, and 1899. The Preface was omitted in the issue 'fifteenth thousand' in 1894 but was restored in 1899 in the Uniform edition. The text was revised for the Uniform edition of 1899, and the revised text was used for volumes bound in the same format as the first edition and for volumes in the Uniform edition style as well. In these printings the frontispiece, the fore-title, and the leaf of advertisements at the end are omitted. The title of the last story is changed to 'Her Majesty's Servants', and the illustrations accompanying this story are omitted. Each story in these printings also bears a sub-title. The Jungle Book was reprinted in the Uniform edition in each of the following years: 1900-3, 1905, 1906, 1908, 1910, 1911, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1918, 1920, 1922, 1924, 1929, 1932, 1937, 1943-4, and 1947. The types were reset for the Library edition in 1950, in which edition it was reprinted in 1951 and 1953.

EXCELLENCY

FIRST EDITION (CANADIAN MISSION PRESS EDITION), 1895; SECOND EDITION ("TIMES OF INDIA" PRESS EDITION), 1899(?). This story was first published in the Civil and Military Gazette, October 8, 1885. Although it has never been collected, two separate editions are known, both of which are very rare indeed. Recently suspicion has been cast on these issues, particularly that dated 1899. They have been suspected of having the same origin as The White Man's Burden and White Horses, the character of which was established by Messrs. Carter and Pollard. (See Nos. 242 and 208.)

The American edition was published by the Century Co., whose name continued on the title page until 1921 when Doubleday, Page & Company was substituted. For this edition the types were reset. School editions appeared in London in 1926 and in New York in 1932. Between October, 1910, and January, 1911, a series of twelve illustrations of subjects in The Second Jungle Book by Maurice and Edward Detmold appeared in the Illustrated London News, but were never used in book form. One of the stories and one poem were included in Animal Stories, London, 1932, and New York, 1934. Five stories and five poems were included in All the Mowgli Stories, London, 1933, and New York, 1936. In 1924 The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book were published both in London and New York in one volume under the title The Two Jungle Books. In 1948 The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book were published by Doubleday & Company in two volumes under the title The Jungle Books, volume I containing the Mowgli stories and related poems, and volume II the remaining stories and poems.

OUT OF INDIA This collection constitutes the first American edition of the material in The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places, 1891, and Letters of Marque, 1891. The publication of this volume irked Kipling, who wrote to the Nation, the Critic, the New York Journal, and other periodicals stating that it was a hash-up of articles written for the newspapers and had been used as source material for The Naulahka, and that he had had nothing to do with its publication. Kipling had attempted to suppress publication of this material in book form in India and England and had partially succeeded, yet it was later revised and collected by him in From Sea to Sea, New York, 1899, and London, 1900.

Room Ballads (see No. 110). Of the collection, thirteen poems are here published for the first time, so far as can be ascertained; twenty-seven had previously appeared in periodicals. The note on the verso of the title page indicates that the poems were separately copyrighted, but no information appears to be available concerning the material filed for the purpose. The American publishers were D. Appleton and Company, who continued as publishers until 1920, when they were succeeded by Doubleday, Page & Company. Copies are known, however, dated 1907, in which the Doubleday imprint appears on the title page. An illustrated edition was published in the United States in 1905. In 1899 the sheets of the American edition were bound up in the style of the Trade and Swastika editions. In England, Methuen & Co. have been the publishers throughout. Separate editions of A Song of the English appeared in London and New York in 1909 and in subsequent years. In 1914 and 1915, Methuen & Co. issued separate editions of 'Hymn before Action'.

edition was published by Macmillan & Co. in 1896, and the American by Doubleday & McClure Co. in 1899. A second English edition appeared in 1906. Fifty-six lines included in the text represent material still uncollected. Since the date of first publication, a number of other items from which extracts were taken have been collected by Kipling. Chief among these is the poem 'Bobs', from which three stanzas were used. As this publication was authorized by Kipling, the following items are definitely identified as his work: 'New Year's Resolutions', 'Prologue for a Theatrical Performance at Simla', 'Himalayan Councils', 'To the Address W.W.H.', 'Hot Weather Counsels', and 'Exchange'.

Kipling's third attempt to write a long story was made during his residence in the United States, and the background for this novel centres around the deep-sea fishing industry of Gloucester, Mass. The story first appeared in serial form in McClure's Magazine, November, 1896, to May, 1897, with twenty-five illustrations by I. W. Taber, and in Pearson's Magazine, December, 1896, to April, 1897, with forty-one illustrations by I. W. Taber and Fred T. Jane. A copyright edition,* made up in part from the sheets of the serial and in part from a separate printing, was prepared by the S. S. McClure Co., London and New York. The text differs slightly from the regular edition.

The American edition, published by the Century Co., and the English, by Macmillan & Co., were both published in 1897. The texts differ from one another in a number of minor details. The American edition is dedicated to 'James Conland, M.D., I Brattleboro, Vermont', Kipling's family doctor, at whose suggestion the story was written. At a later date Kipling presented the MS. to Dr. Conland, from whom it was acquired by the late J. P. Morgan. The MS. consists of seventy-five leaves and contains several passages edited out in the published versions. "Captains Courageous" was issued in the Authorized, Swastika, and Trade editions in 1899 with the Century Co.'s imprint on the title page. Publication in the United States was taken over by Doubleday, Page & Company in 1921. Macmillan & Co. published a school edition in 1930. The same plates were used with a substituted title page for an edition in their Cottage Library in 1937. An edition was published in New York in 1937 by the Sun Dial Press, (a subsidiary of Doubleday, Doran & Company) which had, as endpapers, illustrations from the Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer film version and a frontispiece portrait of Freddie Bartholomew as Harvey Cheyne, Jr. The cinema version itself differs widely from Kipling's story. There is a Canadian school edition, published in 1939. COPYRIGHT EDITION

The American edition, which was the first, was published in dark green cloth with the caravel design prepared by Kipling in which the Trade edition of the Doubleday firms thereafter regularly appeared. The English edition, published by Macmillan & Co., was the last of that firm's editions to appear in the dark blue binding with border decorations in gold. This title appeared in the Uniform edition in 1899 and in the Library edition of 1950. A School edition was published by Macmillan in London in 1951. There were subsequent separate editions of The Brushwood Boy in New York in 1899 and 1907 and in London in 1907. The Maltese Cat was published separately in London and New York in 1936 with illustrations by Lionel Edwards, R.I. The Outward Bound edition and Edition de Luxe included the title, The Day's Work, in two parts. Part I (volume XIII in both editions) contained one story previously uncollected, 'The Son of His Father', later included in For Britain's Soldiers, 1900. Part II (volume XIV) of the Outward Bound edition contained 'The Wreck of the Visigoth', previously uncollected except in volume VI of Turn-overs. In the Edition de Luxe (volume XIV) 'The Bold 'Prentice', previously uncollected, was substituted.

A FLEET IN BEING FIRST (ENGLISH) EDITION, 1898; FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, 1913. This title was given to a series of six articles which appeared in The Times and the Morning Post in November, 1898, describing two visits made by Kipling during that year with the Channel Squadron. The accounts were also published in the World, Sunday edition, in November and December, 1898. The text was revised for the first issue in book form. The material was not again collected until 1913 in volume V of the Bombay edition, entitled 'From Sea to Sea', volume 2. The first American edition was volume V of the Seven Seas edition, 1913. The articles were also included in the Sussex edition, volume XXVI, 1938, and in volume XX of the Burwash edition, 1941.

KIPLING'S POEMS FIRST (UNAUTHORIZED) EDITION, 1899; and the subsequent authorized edition of a constituent item: 'Michigan Twins', 1923.

This unauthorized issue, published in Chicago on June 30, 1899, contains all of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses, all of 'BarrackRoom Ballads' published prior to the coming into force of the Copyright Act, 1891, all verse headings and poems contained in volumes of prose published prior to July, 1891, and several later poems not protected by copyright. Some of the headings and scraps of verse included are not Kipling's work at all.

PATTON' on verso, publisher's note (p. v), Introduction entitled 'Rudyard Kipling' by Wallace Rice (pp. vii-xxii), Contents (pp. xxiii-xxvi), 14 leaves; sub-title and text, pp. [1]-243, p.

Copies* are known on which a tiger's head is substituted for the elephant's, and the lettering and illustrations on front cover and spine are in white.

Copies* are also known in which the title page has 'George M. Hill Company' instead of 'Star Publishing Company'. In such cases the title page is pasted to page v. It has frequently been alleged that the Hill edition is the first; but the physical attachment of the title page affords convincing evidence to the contrary. [Editor's note: The title page in the Star Publishing Company volume is also an inset leaf.] The Contents are divided into five groups entitled 'Departmental Ditties', 'Barrack-Room Ballads', 'Other Verses', 'Verses from the Prose Works', and 'Later Verses'. The first two groups call for no comment. 'Verses from the Prose Works' includes all headings and poetry in Kipling's prose volumes published prior to the coming into force of the American Copyright Law of 1891, irrespective of the actual authorship. The group 'Later Verses' includes inter alia 'The Vampire', 'Recessional', 'Rudyard and Kipling', and 'Quebec'. There was a subsequent authorized edition of 'Rudyard and Kipling' under the title 'Michigan Twins'. MICHIGAN TWINS (First authorized edition)

194* Broadside (17% X 12%) entitled 'The Book Leaf' being an advertising sheet, dated September 21, 1823, issued by Doubleday, Page & Company. It contains, inter alia, the poem and an account of its origin. The poem has never been collected by Kipling.

STALKY & CO. FIRST (ENGLISH) EDITION, 1899; FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, 1899. This collection of nine stories and one poem has as its theme student life in the United Services College. There is no doubt that in many passages Kipling is giving his recollections of events as they happened and of characters as they appeared to him. At the same time much of the narrative is pure fiction. The 'Head' and the 'Padre' are depicted very much as Kipling and his immediate circle of friends saw them with the eyes of youth; but the correspondence he kept up with Crofts, the Classics master, after leaving school, makes it impossible to believe that 'King' in the stories is to be fully identified with Crofts. One story in the series entitled 'Stalky' appeared in McClure's and Windsor magazines for December, 1898, but was not collected until Land and Sea Tales, 1923. The nine stories and the poem, together with 'Stalky' and four additional stories and four additional poems, were col-

lected in The Complete Stalky & Co., London, 1929, and New York, 1930. In A Ken of Kipling, New York, 1899, a separate printing of 'The Slaves of the Lamp' was reported. No copy can now be located. Mrs. Livingston includes it as No. 143 in her Bibliography, but states in effect that she had never seen it. American copyright was obtained separately for the two parts: the first by deposit March 22-27; the second by deposit April 19-24, 1897. The nature of the material deposited has not been ascertained. It could hardly be the pages of McClure's in which both parts were published in August, 1897. Deposit of the pages of Cosmopolis would not have been in compliance with the law because they were printed in England. The English edition of Stalky & Co. was the first of Kipling's works to appear in the Uniform edition. FIRST (ENGLISH) EDITION

DEPARTMENTAL DITTIES AND BALLADS AND BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS In 1899 Doubleday & McClure Co. took over publication in the United States of the volumes previously published there by The Macmillan Company. The transfer included Ballads and Barrack-Room Ballads, 1893. The only prior authorized edition of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses in the United States was the Lovell edition (United States Book Company), 1890, which included a number of the 'BarrackRoom Ballads'. The text of the Copyright edition of Ballads and Barrack-Room Ballads, together with a revised text of Departmental Ditties and Other Verses, was used for this volume. There has been no later revision of the text. Fresh plates were used, however, for the volumes printed at the Country Life Press in and after 1913.

While the text was not revised for subsequent editions, there are numerous differences between the edition of 1899 and those of and after 1913. Chief among these differences are : ( 1 ) in the 1913 edition there are no signature marks in the section devoted to Ballads and BarrackRoom Ballads; (2) in the case of many verses with 'carry over' lines of print, the breaking point is not always the same; ( 3) the lines of prose headings of poems do not always correspond; ( 4) the printers' imprints are different; ( 5) the copyright data at the foot of the first pages of several of the poems show differences; (6) the page numbers which appear at the bottom of the pages in the 1913 edition are to the right of centre.

FROM SEA TO SEA FIRST (AMERICAN) EDITION, TRADE EDITION, 1909.

1899;

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION,

1900;

This title includes a collection in two volumes of letters, sketches, and stories written in or prior to 1890. Kipling, apparently, found it hard to make up his mind whether to publish the material or not. Included are Letters of Marque, publication of which he had suppressed in 1891; The Smith Administration (except two stories) also suppressed in 1891; The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places, part of the material of which had been included in The City of Dreadful Night and Other Sketches, suppressed in 1890. When Letters of Marque and The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places were published ( without his consent) in the United States under the title Out of India, Kipling indignantly dissociated himself from the publication and said that it was simply a rehash of writings he had used as source material for The Naulahka. The volumes derive their title from a series of letters written by Kipling for the Pioneer while he was on a journey from India to England in 1889. Leaving Calcutta on the S.S. Medura early in March, he transferred to the S.S. Africa at Penang, and after stopping at Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canton, landed at Nagasaki and spent nearly a month in Japan. Early in May he left on the S.S. City of Peking for San Francisco where he arrived on May 28. After spending about four months travelling in the United States and a short trip to British Columbia, he sailed from New York for England on the S.S. City of Berlin on September 25. From Calcutta to San Francisco he was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Hill (the Professor and the Professor's wife in the letters), with whom he had visited from time to time in Allahabad during 1888

and 1889. While in the United States he again visited the Hills at Beaver, Pennsylvania. Kipling took on board with him at Calcutta two black leather-bound manifold books, each containing 200 leaves made up alternately of thin semi-transparent and thicker opaque leaves, each pair bearing the same number. By inserting a double carbon paper under the thin leaf and over the thick one and writing with a stylus, two impressions were made --one on the verso of the thin and one on the recto of the thick leaf. The thick leaf was detachable and could thus be used as copy to be sent back to the newspapers in India. The two manifold books with most of the thin leaves and a few of the thick ones contain the first manuscript or draft of sixteen letters numbered I to XVI and the first part of a draft of letter numbered XXIII. They also include the manuscript or first draft of thirteen stories later published with revisions in the Civil and Military Gazette. All of these were collected in Turn-overs, volumes V-VII, and nine were later included in Abaft the Funnel, 1909. Included also were two unfinished stories or sketches. Of the manifold books, volume I lacks pages 1, 8, 92, and 98. Both page 37's are included. The following material is contained in it: From Sea to Sea I, pp. 2-7; 'The Giraffe Loose' (A Menagerie On Board), pp. 9-12; 'The Wandering Jew', pp. 13-15; From Sea to Sea II, pp. 16-23; 'The Snake Story' (Rheingelder and the German Flag), pp. 24-25; From Sea to Sea III, pp. 26-31; 'The Snake Story' (concluded), p. 31; From Sea to Sea IV, pp. 32-39; 'The Shipwreck of the Ringola' (The Wreck of the Visigoth), pp. 40-42; From Sea to Sea V, pp. 43-51; From Sea to Sea VI, pp. 52-58; 'It!', pp. 59-62; 'The Red Lamp', pp. 63-65; From Sea to Sea VII, pp. 66-74; From Sea to Sea VIII, pp. 75-82; From Sea to Sea IX, pp. 83-91; From Sea to Sea X, pp. 93-97 & 99; and some sketches and jottings, p. 100. Volume II lacks pages 1, 57, 84, 92-98, and 100. Pages 83 and 89-91 are present in duplicate. There are two pages numbered 26, but they contain different material. Page 99 is blank. This volume contains: 'The Lang Men O' Larut', pp. 2-4; From Sea to Sea XI, pp. 5-15; From Sea to Sea XII (this became XII and XIII in The Pioneer), pp. 16-26; From Sea to Sea XIII, pp. 26-34; From Sea to Sea XIV, pp. 35-44; 'Griffiths, The Safe Man', pp. 45-48; From Sea to Sea XV, pp. 49-56; From Sea to Sea XVI, pp. 58-66; 'The Phantom Ship' (Of Those Called), pp. 67-69; 'The Manilla Thief' (A Smoke of Manila), pp. 70-72; 'The Cat That Saved the Ship' (Erastasius of the Whanghoa), pp. 73-76; 'The Shadow of His Hand', pp. 77-80; 'Sons of Belial' (an unfinished story), pp. 81-83; 'The Bow Flume Cable-Car', pp. 85-88;

From Sea to Sea XX.III (beginning), p. 89; and 'A Daughter of Heth' (an unfinished story), pp. 90-91. Kipling presented these books to Mrs. Hill. After passing through several hands, the books, together with an album of photographs taken by the Hills, were acquired by the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. It was apparently Kipling's intention in 1891 to publish the letters or a text based on them. Macmillan's list for that year contains an item 'The Book of the Forty-Five Mornings by Kipling, in preparation'. The project was abandoned. Early in that year, however, the Detroit Free Press, the Chicago Herald, the New York Herald, and the Philadelphia Press published extracts from the letters dealing with the United States. together with extracts from one letter not in the series. These were collected and published in 1891 by several American publishers under the title American Notes. For the purpose of the authorized publication in book form under the title From Sea to Sea, the letters were heavily revised, and about onethird of the material was edited out, including many passages which were uncomplimentary to the United States. In the Trade edition the material was included in one volume. The Seven Seas edition includes in volume IV A Fleet in Being, which, apart from the copyright material, constitutes the first American edition of those sketches.

Signature marks in both volumes: B, C, D, etc. on pp. 17, 33, 49, etc. The volume number appears with the signature marks. U.S. copyright: volume I as No. 23316, April 3, 1899; volume II as No. 46557, July 18, 1899. Both volumes were deposited June 20, 1899. CONTENTS

Letters of Marque appeared separately in 1891. The From Sea to Sea series appeared in the Pioneer, the Pioneer Mail, and the Civil and Military Gazette during 1889-1890. The City of Dreadful Night had appeared separately as The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places, 1891, which included 'Among the Railway Folk', 'The Giridih Coal Fields', and 'In An Opium Factory'. The Smith Administration had appeared separately in 1891. Here, however, two stories, 'The Tracking of Chuckerbutti' and 'Bread Upon the Waters', are omitted.

The texts of Letters of Marque, The City of Dreadful Night, and The Smith Administration were revised for this edition but very few changes were made, and those minor ones. The first edition, volume II, contains two errors. Page 90, line 12, has 'fifteen feet' instead of 'fifteen hundred feet'. Page 153, seventh line from bottom, has 'tacked around' instead of 'packed around'. These were corrected in later issues. The following is a list of the letters as they originally appeared in the Pioneer, with notes as to their relationship to the text of From Sea to Sea: No. I, Pioneer, April 17; Pioneer Mail, April 17, 1889.

Chapter XXXVII in From Sea to Sea, entitled 'An Interview with Mark Twain', was not included in the series in the Pioneer and the Pioneer Mail. It was published in the Scotsman, September, in the New York Herald, August 17, and in the Civil and Military Gazette, September 23, 1890. A part of Letter No. XXVI was published in the Ladies' Home Journal, October, 1899, under the title 'An American Girl'. Parts of Letters Nos. XXIV and XXV were published in Rudyard Kipling in San Francisco, privately printed by Haywood H. Hunt, San Francisco, 1926. The material in From Sea to Sea was included in four volumes of the Lotus Series, published in 1899 by the Lovell Company and others. The sheets of the American edition were used for the Canadian edition published in 1899 by George N. Morang Co., Toronto. One interesting incident described in Letter No. XX in the Pioneer is edited out of From Sea to Sea. This account describes Kipling's visit to a bookstore in Yokohama where he found the publications of the Seaside Library containing many pirated editions of English authors. In his comments Kipling includes this sentence, 'The loathsome library had been cribbing Anglo-Indian stories not altogether unknown to me'. That this referred to one of Kipling's own books is clear enough to one familiar with Kipling's writing. It is corroborated by a letter written by Mrs. Hill from Yokohama and dated May 11, 1889. She says in part, 'We are sailing today for America. When Ruddy went to the shop to buy books for our Pacific trip he found an American pirated edition of his own tales. He was so furious that he stalked out of the shop and bought us nothing, to our great dismay'. The question remains as to which Kipling volume was involved and what stories it contained.

RECESSIONAL

This widely known poem was published in The Times, July 17, 1897, shortly after the celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Kipling had promised The Times a poem fitting the occasion but experienced difficulty in writing anything which he could approve. He had been shocked by the boastfulness and self-satisfaction that had been apparent during the celebrations-so foreign to his conception of the British character. He therefore endeavoured to strike a sobering note. The letter to The Times which accompanied the poem was published in The Times Literary Supplement, April 13, 1901, and was included in Ballard's My Kipling Collection, 1935. Kipling refused payment for the poem, and it was not copyrighted by him. In Part 7 of The Colophon* ( September, 1931), Mrs. Livingston gives an interesting account of the composition of the poem. Two early drafts in MS. are known. One, entitled 'After', was rescued from the waste-paper basket and sent by Miss Sara Norton to Dr. Francis Bullard of Boston, Mass., who, in tum, presented it to the Harvard Library. Miss Norton was a guest in the Kipling household at the time. This MS. consists of three stanzas, the last of which is so heavily scored out that it is difficult to decipher. A booklet* containing a facsimile of the MS. and a reconstruction of the third stanza has been published. A facsimile also appears in Mrs. Livingston's Bibliography. Another draft of the poem, entitled 'Retrocession', is in the Huntington Library. Broadsides of this draft, in facsimile, are also known. A copy of the poem in Kipling's handwriting is in the Library of The Kipling Society.

THE ABSENT-MINDED BEGGAR Upon the outbreak of the Boer War in October, 1899, appeals were made for funds to assist the families of the men in the services. With this end in view, Kipling wrote the poem, sold it to the Daily Mail, and donated the proceeds to the fund. The Daily Mail, in tum, after publishing it on October 31, 1899, launched an active campaign for 'The

RUDYARD KIPLING

Little Tambourine' Fund, and made the poem one of the leading features of the campaign. It was set to music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, illustrated by R. Caton Woodville, and published in many forms with or without the music or illustration. Publication rights were sold and the proceeds added to the fund. Handkerchiefs, pillow cases, plates, tobacco jars, ash trays, cigarette packages, etc., were produced bearing all or a part of the poem, and a part of the sale price in each case went into the fund. There is an illuminated address* to Lady Beerbohm-Tree with a stanza of the poem written and signed by Kipling. It is also signed by the proprietor of the Daily Mail and officials of the Palace Theatre at which Lady Beerbohm-Tree recited the poem nightly for several months. The first edition of the poem alone was a leaflet which does not bear the name of a publisher but was issued by the Daily Mail in 1899. The first edition with the music was sold at the Alhambra Theatre, November 13, 1899, when the song was first sung in public by John Coates. The music and words* were published by Enoch & Son, who donated the entire proceeds of the first edition of seventy-five thousand copies to the fund, as well as their profits on the second edition of an equal number. There was a special limited issue of this edition which was autographed by both Kipling and Sullivan. A fair copy in Kipling's holograph* was acquired by Bibby's Limited, who published it in facsimile in their Quarterly, December, 1899. The MS. was sold at Sotheby's on March 23, 1936. A facsimile was printed in the catalogue of the sale. The original score of the music was purchased by Ridgeways, Limited, who published a special edition de luxe in facsimile. The poem was printed inside the back cover and the Woodville illustration inside the front cover. The poem with the Woodville illustration was published in the form of a triptych both on paper* and on silk.* A special printing* of this was made for the actress Lily Langtry for distribution at the hundredth performance of the 'Degenerates' at the Garrick Theatre. Kipling did not collect the poem until 1914, when it appeared in volume XXII of the Bombay edition. It was also collected in the successive editions of Verse, Inclusive Edition, commencing in 1919.

RUDYARD KIPLING A KEN OF KIPLING

FIRST (AMERICAN) EDITION, 1899; with the following prior editions of constituent items : 'The School Budget', first (English) edition, 1898; 'The School Budget', first American edition, 1899; and the following authorized subsequent editions of constituent items: A Sailor's Log, 1901; and Rudyard Kipling, 1913. This slight biographical sketch of Kipling is the first edition in book form of a poem written by Kipling in the first volume of a set of the Uniform edition presented by him to Rear-Admiral ( then Captain) Robley D. Evans, U.S.N. ('Fighting Bob' ). The poem is sometimes called 'Zogbaum' because the name of that artist is the first word of each stanza of the poem. This printing also includes the first stanza of a poem addressed to James Whitcomb Riley. There are also several letters or extracts including a letter to 'The School Budget'. In 1899 Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons used the sheets of this volume, bound up with an Index, as volume XV of their Brushwood edition, which precipitated an acrimonious controversy with Kipling, ending in a law-suit in which Kipling was unsuccessful both at the trial and in an appeal ( see Federal Reports, vol. 120, p. 631).

The poem was first collected by Kipling in The Five Nations The Seven Seas, volume XXII of the Bombay edition, 1914; and later in Verse, Inclusive Edition, 1919. A facsimile of the MS. was published

in the Catalogue of the Grolier Society, 1929. It has been stated that Lord Roberts requested Kipling not to reprint the poem because, by inference, it accused a distinguished contemporary of 'advertising'. BOBS (First Canadian edition)

Appendix F UNAUTHORIZED EDITIONS This section is devoted to printings not expressly authorized by Kipling: In a great majority of these printings Kipling had not, by reason of copyright laws or the lack of them, the right either to restrain or to authorize their publication. When the publisher is known the items are arranged alphabetically according to publisher under the heading 'Editions Containing Publisher's Imprint'. The many items which do not bear any indication of the publisher are listed alphabetically according to title under the heading 'Editions with Publisher Not Indicated'. The Martindell-Ballard issues which constitute a large block of these unidentified printings are listed separately under the heading 'The Martindell-Ballard Unauthorized Pamphlets' and are here identified possibly for the first time. If an unauthorized issue contains materials by writers other than Kipling, it is generally omitted from this list and included in Appendix C (Anthologies and Readers) . In several cases, however, when the title is one commonly associated with Kipling, where the Kipling material predominates, or where the volume is one of a 'Series' or 'Library' which included other titles by Kipling, it is included here. Descriptions have been made as brief as possible and are intended for superficial identification only. The compiler acknowledges that the list may be far from complete, but it is offered as a basic check list for those to whom large stocks of second hand books are available or those who have access to publishers' records not included here.

Why Snow Falls at Vernet, 1923 (8¾ X 5¾). In cream coloured wrappers; a pirated edition issued in London and allegedly limited to 4 copies. THE MARTINDELL-BALLARD UNAUTHORIZED PAMPHLETS In addition to Bungalow Ballads and Why Snow Falls at Vernet mentioned in the foregoing list, 140 other printings were produced in England from 1923 to 1937. None bears a printer's or publisher's imprint, but the words 'Printed Privately' appear on the bottom of the front cover with the limitation note: 'One of two [or four] copies printed I privately for two collectors' appearing on the verso of the front cover. These unauthorized editions were produced either individually or jointly for the late E. W. Martindell of London and Hampshire, England, and the late Ellis Ames Ballard of Philadelphia. A discussion by Mr. Stewart concerning these items appears in the introduction to the 'Other Works' section of the main text, pages 495-496. A further discussion concerning them may be found in Mrs. Livingston's Supplement (1938) on pages 183-197. By any rational judgment based on actual evidence of authorship, many of the items listed in the following thirteen series cannot be ascribed to Kipling. A. A series of 8 pamphlets (10¼ X 6½). In white wrappers printed in bluish-green ink and tied with blue silk cord; text printed in black on deckle-edge handmade laid paper with no watermark; the following items reprinted from the Civil & Military Gazette, Lahore, India.

Our Theatricals, December 16, 1886. A Little Learning, February 14, 1887. A Pinchbeck Goddess, December 10, 1886.

These titles were published serially under the general title 'Plain Tales from the Hills' but were not collected by Kipling with the exception of A Little Learning. They probably were not written by him but by members of his family; Love in a Mist and A Pinchbeck Goddess were written by his sister. B. School Days (1881-1882) (10¼ X 6½). In brown wrappers with illustrated paper label affixed to front cover; contains items published in the United Services College Chronicle and not collected by Kipling; one item, 'O Fortunatos Nimium', is included which was not by Kipling.
