LE GALLIENNE, Richard.
Sleeping Beauty and Other Prose Fancies.
Tipped onto the front pastedown is an ALs, 1 p. 16mo, n.d., to one L. A. Straight, about an essay in this book, “A Desultory Note on Values,” which, as Straight has reminded him, first appeared in Collier’s. The values, we note, are roughly speaking moral values, but he can’t resist an observation on the values of literary property, noting that the manuscript of “Endymion” sold recently, making four times more than Keats earned from poetry in his whole lifetime. Slightly shaken, upper joint a little weak, contemporary newsclipping on front free endpaper with concomitant staining.
