THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENE- MIES. Edited by Sheridan Ford. New York: Frederick Stokes & Brother , 1890. Duodecimo. In original paper covers. The story of the pub- lication of this and the “Paris” edition (No. 13) has several ver- sions. See Pennell’s “Life of Whistler,” Chapter xxxiv, Don C. Seitz’s, “Writings by and about Whistler,” Introduction and the following from one of Walter M. Hill’s catalogues (1910). “The exceedingly rare earliest edition, and a very interest- ing volume, both as regards the circumstances under which it was printed and the fact that it differs very largely from Whistler’s own edition (published several months after this issue, but hitherto generally regarded as the first and, indeed, up to the time of its recent reprinting, as the only edition of the work). “The present volume is a i2mo of 256 pages, printed on very heavy glazed paper, and was compiled with Whistler’s full ap- proval. This sanction was withdrawn on the eve of publication, the artist writing to Mr. Ford that he had finally decided on an- other of his friends as editor. An amusing and interesting ex- change of letters then took place (all of which are given in the volume), after which Mr. Ford printed his edition in Belgium for shipment to New York, Messrs. Stokes being named as the publishers. The bulk of this edition was seized at Antwerp by Mr. Whistler’s legal representatives. “The book contains Whistler letters dating as far back as 1862, sixteen years earlier than the date of the first letter in Whistler’s edition; and includes, among the later letters, some which Whist- ler either revised or else omitted entirely. Among the revised letters are those relating to Whistler’s celebrated controversy with Mortimer Menpes, in which dispute Mr. Ford was the cham- pion of Whistler’s cause. Among those omitted in Whistler’s edition is, needless to say, the correspondence with Sheridan Ford. “Regarding the rarity of the volume, it may be noted that the London edition of the Herald, in March, 1890, stated that ‘the entire edition’ had been seized; while The Times remarked that ‘the untiring efforts of a persistent adventurer at length results in furnishing Mr. Whistler with the first and only copy of this curious work.’ The Pall Mall Gazette refers to the volume as ‘a great literary curiosity.’ “Messrs. Stokes, writing in response to an inquiry respecting the volume, explained that although their name appeared as the publishers they never handled the work. ‘ Most of the copies ,’ they write, ‘ were burned up in our fire in 1890. We do not believe that a copy of this edition could be secured anywhere. There were only about twenty-five in existence. ’ “Both the Paris and the New York editions are prior to Whistler’s own London one. The two pirated and suppressed editions are evidently printed from the same type or stereo plates.” 15. THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENE- MIES. As pleasingly exemplified in many instances, wherein the serious ones of this earth, carefully exasperated, have been prettily spurred on to unseemliness and indiscretion, while overcome by an undue sense of right. London: William Heinemann , MDCCCXC. Square octavo. First authorized edition. Bound by Riviere & Son, London. 16. THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENE- MIES.
