Camden, NJ: The Dial Publishing Company, 1924. Printed salmon wrappers, staple bound. i-viii,[2],451-540,ix-xxiv pp. Tipped in color frontis, "King Lear," by Pablo Picasso. Twenty four pages of adverts in total. A remarkably fine copy. First edition. Scofield Thayer, editior, and Alyse Gregory, managing editor. Extended essay on Virginia Woolf by her brother-in-law, Clive Bell (451-465); the first appearance of the short story, "Miss Ormerod," by Virginia Woolf, based on the life of Eleanor Anne Ormerod (1828 - 1901) an English entomologist 466-474); the first appearance of the long version of Marianne Moore's "An Octopus" (475-481); "The Downfall of Western Civilization," by Oswald Spengler (482-504); four etchings by Joseph Pennell; two woodcuts by Lucien Jacques; Paul Morand's popular "Paris Letter" (505-508); book reviews, and so much more. Here we are, nearly one hundred years later and the art and life of humanity still yearns for the perfection equally longed for in this missive. Woolf had this to say in a letter to Bell, dated Sept. 11th [1923]: 'Dearest Clive, You have given me one hour and a half of pure delight -- reckoning that it takes half an hour to read your essay and I have just read it for the 3d time -- so in spite of resolving never to write another letter, I must now write and thank you. It is far and away the best (don't think I merely mean the most complimentary) criticism I have ever red of my own works, and happens to come at an extremely convenient moment to light up the particular maze I am in [ ... ] I'm really warmed to the cockles of my heart that you should have so much good to say ...."
