Numerous in-text illustrations by Emile Mas.
The copy seen is in original tan paper wraps. From the series La Flagellation à Travers le Monde. This work is done in three parts: Verbena House p.1-150, Le Révérend Arthur Philip Calvedon p.151-222 and Les Flagellation p.223-252. Also published in English by Carrington in 1898 and 1904 as The Mysteries of Verbena House with the author as Etoniensis [George Augustus Sala?]. Based on the pagination and title, it appears that the first part of this present book may have been previously published by Carrington in 1901 as Les Mysteres de la Maison de la Verveine. However, as I am unable to compare the two books, I cannot be positive. According to Ashbee [Vol.3, pp. 260] the original story was issued in two parts: pages 1-96 were issued in 1881, the remaining pages in 1882, probably by William Lazenby [See Mendes 74-A]. It's also possible that the author is not Sala but James Campbell Reddie [Gibson: p.108].
(Bibliothèque Nationale: RES P-Y2-328. Private collection)
8vo. 303pp. Title page framed in red. 10 half-tone steel engravings and numerous text illustrations (mainly head and tail pieces). Printed on smooth wove paper.
The engravings are signed G.D. [i.e. G. Dola]. The text illustrations were first used in Carrington's Le Beau Negre, published in 1902 [Mendes: 160-A]. The author has been falsely attributed to Hugues Rebell [Georges Grassal] and/or Jean de Villiot, which is actually a collective name/pseudonym. It has been suggested that the author is Hector France [Mendes: 160-A]. Carrington published the French translation clandestinely as En Virginie in 1901, which retains the flagellation scenes but expurgates all the sexual descriptions. The Memoirs of Dolly Morton was published again by Carrington in 1899. There is also an edition with a 1904 date but which Mendes dates at c.1912; possibly published by Carrington or Roberts and Dardaillon. This work was also published by Jean Fort under his imprint Collection des Orties Blanches in c.1917 as Dolly Morton with author as Donovan Kipps, illustrated with 7 plates Louis Malteste; and again as The Memoirs of Dolly Morton in c.1928, which is a reprint of Carrington's En Virginie.

This work is an expanded version of an earlier edition. The first edition was published before c.1840 with the possible title of Evelina [Ashbee: Vol.3, p.142]. Other editions published: London: Charles Roberts, c.1840; London: Printed For the Booksellers, 1843; London: Printed For the Bibliopolists [W. Dugdale], c.1860.

Also published in French by Carrington as Les Mystères de la Maison de la Verveine in 1901 and again in 1904 as La Maison de la Verveine, both with the author as Jean de Villiot. The original work was issued in two parts: pages 1-96 were issued in 1881, the remaining pages in 1882, probably by Lazenby [Ashbee: Vol.3, p.260 and Mendes 74-A]. It's also possible that the author is not Sala but Campbell Reddie, or at least Reddie was involved [Gibson, Ian. The Erotomaniac: p.108].

"The "Imperial Press" imprint may have been an agent of Carrington's in London [See Mendes: p.35].

This is the French translation of Memories of a Russian Ballet Girl, published by Carrington in 1901. This present edition retains the flagellation scenes from that English edition but is expurgated of all sexual descriptions. Previously published in 1892 by Brancart [under the imprint "sous les gleries du Palais Royal"] as Memoires d'une Danseuse Russe written by E.D. Although Desjardins may be a pseudonym used by Edmund Dumoulin, Mendes argues in his notes to 137-A that Dumoulin and Desjardins may in fact be two different people, with Desjardins the author of flagellation themed novels. Only these E.D./Desjardin texts were translated into English.

Before you say anything...The imprint of Charles Carrington is from a label pasted over the original imprint. It's possible that Carrington bought sheets of the book and rather than print up a new first signature, pasted on the label. Although until now no one was aware that Carrington ever did this, see also Flagellation and the Flagellants by Rev. Cooper [James Bertram Glass], which also has a Carrington label pasted over the original imprint [located at UC Santa Barbara]. Not listed in Mason, unless, Carrington [if true] issued this book after 1914. Osrac was first published in London by Hermes Press in 1905. Keystone Press also produced an edition in 1905 but it was never published.

From the series La Flagellation à Travers le Monde. The story retains the flagellation scenes from the English edition but is expurgated of all the sexual descriptions. The author of Miss Coote is William Lazenby [Ashbee: Vol.3, pp. 244 and 344]. Lazenby is also the author of the sequel The Covenant School, published in London, 1879 [Ashbee: Vol.3, p.244]. In this present work, page i-xiv contains an excerpt from L'Avenir de la Flagellation. Page xiv-xlviii contains letters from the newspaper "The Sun" during the months of November and December, 1905. First published as a serial in the underground Victorian magazine The Pearl: Issue 1, 1879 through Issue 10, 1880. Previously published in 1892 by Augustin Brancart and/or Francois Van Crombrugge as Confessions of Miss Coote and again in c.1902 by the Bergé family as Miss Coote's Confession. Jean Fort also published an edition as Memoires de Miss Coote under his imprint "Bibliothèque des deux hémisphères" in 1911.
