TITLE : The Fortnightly Review. ISSUE : Vol. LVII, New Series, No. CCCIX, New Series. DATE : September 1892 EDITOR : Frank Harris (1856 - 1931) Famous Irish-American editor, novelist, journalist , and publisher. He knew a great many celebrities. Now mainly remembered for his autobiography, "My Life and Loves" which was banned in many countries for its sexual explicitness (Republished by Grove Press). IMPRINT : Leonard Scott Publication Company. PLACE : 231 Broadway, NYC DATE : September 1892. DETAILS : Monthly Periodical; volume pages 273 - 416 (144 pp), plus 8 pages of front and back material (advertising); 6 1/2" x 10 1/4", printed wraps, glued. CONTENTS : (Thanks to Wikipedia for some of the information in the following) * How to Drive Home Rule Home - by Frederic Harrison (1831 - 1923) British Jurist and historian. A follower of Auguste Comte, Harrison was a major figure in the Positive movement, and supported trade unions and universal education. * Mars - by Sir Robert Ball, F.R.S. (1840 - 1913). Sir Robert Stawell Ball was an Irish astronomer and Professor of Mathematics. * Cholera and Cleanliness in Russia - by E. B. Lanin (1854 - 1933) * The Strand Improvements - by Herbert P. Horne (1864 - 1916). Herbert Percy Horne was an English poet, architect, typographer, art historian, and antiquarian. * August Strindberg (This was the first ever introduction of Strindberg to English readers.) - by Justin Huntly McCarthy (1859 - 1936). He was an Irish writer, dramatist, and a Member of Parliament. Father and son had the same exact name and are often confused with one another as regards their literary output. I am positing this article to be by the son, as it makes more sense that the younger man would be attracted to such a radical writer as Strindberg. Also the son wrote many plays, and thus would be more apt to be aware of dramatists in other countries. * New Japan - by F. T Piggott (1852 - 1925) Piggott was a British jurist and author, and served as Chief Justice of Hong Kong from 1905 - 1912. * Mulready - by Lady Dilke (1840 - 1904) Emilia Francis Strong was an English author, art historian, feminist, suffragist, and trade unionist. She was a friend of George Eliot, and was the model for Eliot's character Dorothea Casubon, heroine of "Middlemarch. She became Lady Dilke upon her later marriage to Sir Charles Dilke, a liberal politician. * Two Australian Writers (Adam Lindsay Gordon & Marcus Clarke) - by Francis Adams (1862 - 1893). Francis William Lauderdale Adams was an English socialist writer with strong anti-capitalist views. He spent a fair amount of time in Australia. * The Late Prince Victor of Hohenlohe -. by His Son * Profit and Loss - by Frank Harris CONDITION -- GOOD ONLY -- This antique periodical has a rough exterior, the paper of the cover is fragile (somewhat brittle); there is considerable foxing on the front cover; the spine is considerably weathered and cracked, displaying loss to both extremities, and there is a strong horizontal crack about 6" from the top; fore- and bottom edges are ragged; the rear cover has similar weathering, some creasing and tears; the interior is unopened (ie : leaves still attached, as issued); the binding is cracked at a few spots, but no leaves are detached or loose, per se; the edges of the leaves display weathering, else the interior is clean and presentable with no marking and no writing.…
