[Selective Index to the Supplement]

Prefatory Note

The Supplement, an extension of my Bernard Shaw: A Bibliography (1983), published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, in its Soho Bibliographies, follows faithfully the format and style of the Soho edition. A researcher familiar with the first should, resultantly, have no problem in making use of the second. It is strongly recommended, however, that the editorial procedures detailedly recorded in the 1983 introduction be reviewed. As an assistance, the codes utilized to identify sources and to clarify descriptive terminology are duplicated [pp. viii–x], with necessary emendation. Additional cross-references to the 1983 edition provide useful linkage. A cross reference applying to the Supplement is specifically labelled “Suppl.” In the very few instances in which a precise distinction seems advisable, “Soho” is inserted to prevent misreading.

A selective index is appended to the Supplement at p. 125.

Grey stiff paper wrappers, cut flush, lettered in black on upper wrapper: IS FREE TRADE | ALIVE | OR | DEAD? | BY | BERNARD | SHAW ; edges trimmed.

Date of publication and number of copies undetermined. HRC copy contains an inscription from Shaw to Julio Broutá, dated 20 April 1932, in which he states: “My speech was extemporized; but I had a verbatim report made. I corrected it for the press and had some copies printed of which this is one.” No publication in the press located. The Glasgow Herald and Glasgow Evening Times published abridged third-person reports on 3 October 1903.

[Follows A209, p. 210]: A209A    THE IRISH ACADEMY OF LETTERS    1932

[Drop-title] THE IRISH ACADEMY OF LETTERS | DEAR SIR, [large and small capitals] | [text follows]

(26.5 x 20.6 cm): singleton leaf, printed on recto only; off-white wove paper watermarked SWIFT BROOK PARCHMENT , with shield; edges trimmed.

A letter, undated, inviting the recipient (whose name is inserted below the drop-title in holograph by W. B. Yeats) to become a founder member. The letter is signed in holograph by G. Bernard Shaw and W. B. Yeats.

The Academy, founded by Yeats and Shaw to reward literary achievement and to organize writers for the purpose of warring against literary censorship by the Catholic Church in Ireland, held a first meeting of the provisional council in Dublin on 14 September 1932, its members consisting of Yeats, Shaw (not present), George W. Russell, Lennox Robinson, Seumas O’Sullivan, Oliver St. John Gogarty, Frank O’Connor (pseud. of Michael O’Donovan), and F. R. Higgins. Shaw was elected president, Yeats vice-president, and Russell secretary-treasurer. Shaw’s draft letter to nominees was read and approved, with a proviso that copies be sent, not just to [End Page 4] newly chosen nominees, but to members of the provisional council, who insisted that such a document, bearing Shaw’s autograph, would be something to treasure (as reported by Yeats to Shaw, 15 September 1932: BL 50553, f. 166). The letter was printed a few days later, copies being posted to Shaw in England for his signature.

[Drop-title] GEORGE BERNARD SHAW | APPEALS TO THE I.R.A. | [rule] | FRIENDSHIP WITH | BRITAIN | [text follows]

[Follows A281, p. 290]: A281A    COLLECTED WORKS (1875–1900): MICROPRINT EDITION    1961.

This work, never published, was announced by Readex Microprint Corporation in its 1959/60 catalogue for publication in 1961 under the editorship of Dan H. Laurence, in the “Great Contemporaries” series, at approx. $75. The intent of the edition was to reproduce photographically, in microprint, fully identified texts of all Shaw’s writings (signed, unsigned, or pseudonymously signed) published as books, pamphlets, leaflets, tracts, or in serials as fiction, articles, reviews, notes, or letters to editors, from 1875 to 1900.

As the British Newspaper Library at Colindale, where most of the production work had to be done, was undergoing restoration following severe [End Page 5] war damage and was not yet equipped for extensive and complex photography, it became necessary for Readex to contract with a London company to photograph the materials on the premises. When, however, the poor working conditions, the flimsy state of frequently unphotographable bound volumes of newspapers, the loss of copies resulting from wartime bombings, and the unfamiliarity of the photographers with the special demands of microprint reproduction, collectively conspired to render the edition unfeasible, the project was abandoned.

Although the edition will be noted in many bibliographical compilations, only one exemplar of the edition actually exists: a sample microprint card reproducing the full text of Widowers’ Houses in its 1893 edition. A few test specimens of this card were run, stamped “TEST SAMPLE” on the verso in red ink [DHL-G], and approximately one hundred sample cards (23 x 15 cm, printed on recto only) were distributed to scholars visiting the Readex exhibition booth at the December 1959 Modern Language Association Convention, Chicago.

Part II: Revisions and Corrections

  • A3e     Cashel Byron:

    The binding description of the colonial issue of Cashel Byron’s Profession (near top of p. 8) should read: “lettered within single-rule frame in lime green . . .” In the next line, insert missing vertical bar to read: “COLONIAL | LIBRARY . . .”

  • A4a    Unsocial Socialist:

    Under “Seventh issue” (p. 12) in final line, alter “sixth state” to “sixth issue”.

  • A5     Charing Cross Parliament:

    In the fifth line of the contents collation, revise “(G. Bernard Shaw)” to capital letters, and insert a full stop after “printed” in sixth line.

  • A24     Short Summary:

    Another copy is in C-B. On facing page, alter date in caption to 1895.

  • A26b    On Going to Church:

    Add at end of first paragraph: “C-B has acquired a copy with illustrations by ‘DEN’ (William Wallace Denslow, illustrator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, 1900), as well as by Mrs. Hubbard.”

  • A26c    On Going to Church:

    Publication date was 1 March 1905.

  • A28     True Morality:

    In drop-title transcription, insert closing quotation marks (line 3), to read: “The Saturday Review”. [End Page 51]

  • A46a    Three Plays for Puritans:

    In paragraph under Contents (p. 48) revise to indicate that Shaw incorporated a new Act II passage into Cæsar and Cleopatra in the Pocket Edition, 1926, prior to inclusion in the French translation. [A176] My thanks to Isidor Saslav for this discovery.

  • A50     [Report on Shoreditch]:

    Cross-reference in final line should be to B31.

  • A52     Letter on Proposed Fabian Fiscal 1903 Tract:

    Add “Fabian Society” before “Executive Committee” in last paragraph.

  • A61     [Campaign Statement on Rates]:

    Also in NLI (4 copies).

  • A63     [Campaign Letter: The Shop Question]:

    Also in NLI (2 copies).

  • A69a    Passion, Poison:

    In title-page collation there should be a semi-colon after “PETRIFACTION”.

  • A69c    Passion, Poison:

    The Maxwell Steinhardt copy, offered in Glenn Horowitz catalogue, May 1990, was described as consisting of leaves from the Furniss Annual bound in grey-green cloth rather than boards, with white label printed in black. It is quite possible that more than one dealer created unauthorised “first editions” in this manner, for DHL-G has acquired a copy of the sheets bound (with one blank leaf at front and eighteen leaves at back) in grey paper boards, with end-papers, and paper label on spine, lettered upward: Passion, Poison, and Petrifaction; or, The Fatal Gazogene. G.B. SHAW .

  • A72[b]     Author’s Apology:

    A separate issue of the 1902 preface to Mrs Warren’s Profession (A49) was discovered in Australia some years ago by Margery Morgan. A paper-wrappered, stapled pamphlet of eighteen leaves (17.4 x 11.4 cm), it is lettered in Gothic-style type within a double-rule frame on upper cover: “Mrs. Warren’s Profession” | By G. Bernard Shaw. | [double-rule] | The Author’s Apology | [double-rule] | With the Compliments of | Mr. Allan Wilkie”. [DHL-G]

Allan Wilkie (1878–1970), an actor-manager from Liverpool, toured principal British colonies for thirty years, gaining a reputation for piratical performances, although in his last years receiving a CBE from the Crown. Shaw, angered by Wilkie’s illegal performances of his plays in India, took a drastic legal [End Page 52] step in 1913 of locking Calcutta against him judicially. Around 1916 Wilkie moved on to Australia, including Mrs Warren’s Profession in his repertory. The printed preface he distributed, lacking a printer’s imprint, apparently is an unauthorised issue of Australian manufacture.

  • A76     Socialism and Artistic Professions [Syllabus]:

    Also in NLI.

  • A79     How He Lied:

    In caption on facing page, title should read: “Wie er ihren Mann belog”.

  • A83b    John Bull & Major Barbara:

    Final paragraph should note there is also a postscript to How He Lied to Her Husband.

  • A83c    John Bull & Major Barbara:

    In penultimate line on p. 78, insert a qualification “in most copies” after “substitution”.

  • A85b    G.B.S. Calendar:

    Delete final sentence and substitute the following: “A fourth edition issued by Frank Palmer confusingly recorded on verso of the title a publication date of November 1910 for the third edition and of November 1911 for the fourth edition. Adding to the confusion, another “Fourth Edition” was published, carrying an imprint of Frank and Cecil Palmer, the verso of the title this time bearing a publication date of 1913 for the third edition and 1915 for the fourth. A fifth edition, dated 1921 on verso of the title, restored the Frank Palmer imprint, but retained the printing history of the first four editions as 1908, 1909, 1913, and 1915.”

  • A86a    Sanity of Art:

    In “a. First edition” (p. 82, line 29), insert a comma after “140 Fleet St.” Delete from line 37 the “FLP” source and add at end of paragraph: “Later proof has brown paper wrappers; upper wrapper lettered as on title, plus publisher’s device and imprint ‘One Shilling Net.’ [C-B, FLP] A variant proof state [C-B] has ‘PRICE 1/-’ on upper wrapper, which has been revised by hand (not Shaw’s) to ‘One Shilling net’.”

  • A86b    Sanity of Art:

    Add at end of line 8 from foot of p. 83: “Late Boni and Liveright bind-up lacked publisher’s device on upper cover and date on title page.”

  • A87     Essays

    Add at end of final paragraph (p. 85): “There was extensive [End Page 53] revision in the last essay (first published in Morgen, 10 April 1908), and possibly in others.

  • A88b    Doctor’s Dilemma:

    1910. is correct date; delete interrogation point.

  • A102b    Socialism and Superior Brains:

    Alter transcription of lettering on upper cover to read “By Bernard Shaw”. Two copies acquired by SNF in cloth, the first a later bind-up with catalogue dated August 1910, the second with catalogue dated April 1911.

  • A108a    Doctor’s Dilemma, &c.:

    In sixth line of contents collation, pagination of text of Getting Married should read: 191–293. Add to final paragraph that there are two variant settings of the catalogue, the second containing advertisement of The Sanity of Art. [C-B: both issues; DHL-G: second issue] Insert at end of p. 102: “Blanco’s final speech in The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet (p. 407) revised for seventh impression, 1924.”

  • A113     Fanny’s First Play:

    In the transcription of the German title-page alter line 2 (first line of title-page transcription) to read “Fannys”.

  • A116b    Modern Religion:

    The two copies noted at top of p. 111 may now be coded: [BR-A, C-B].

  • A124a    Pygmalion:

    Cloth issue mentioned on p. 116, line 4, is an error. No cloth-bound issue has been noted. A variant issue in paper boards has been noted, however, in C-B, consisting of blue-green board sides with white coated-paper spine.

  • A124d    Pygmalion:

    The last sentence (p. 118, line 5) appears to be inaccurate, as an issue that does not match the Putnam one has turned up in a binding of dark green cloth, lettered, in straight lines, in light green on upper cover: PYGMALION | A Romance in Five Acts | by BERNARD SHAW .

    [DHL-G]

  • A132a    Case of Belgium:

    A copy (disbound) has been acquired by Sidney P. Albert (it is not in the Brown Collection); and an unbound copy [SNF] measures 22.8 x 15.2 cm, establishing that the disbound copies [NYPL, DHL] were not cropped.

  • A138     Introduction to “International Government”:

    One of the five known copies (formerly owned by MS) was presented to DHL-G by George Hecksher in 1994. [End Page 54]

  • A140     Fabianism and the War:

    The “new diary” mentioned at top of p. 132 is in the BL (50711b and 63181). The text has since been published [Suppl., A317].

  • A148     Peace Conference Hints:

    Chronologically this should precede A147.

  • A152     Geliebte Shakespeares:

    Title essay is a translation of all but the first three sections of Shaw’s preface to The Dark Lady of the Sonnets (1914).

  • A153     Modern Religion:

    A fourth copy acquired at C-B.

  • A161b    Back to Methuselah:

    Lenin’s copy (top of p. 149) was the “English”, not the “first”, edition.

  • A161c    Back to Methuselah:

    A section of the preface, captioned “The Humanitarians and the Problem of Evil”, was deleted by Shaw for the Oxford World’s Classics revised edition (1944). Consequently it does not appear in the Bodley Head edition of the Collected Plays (A296) or in the Complete Prefaces (Suppl., A334), although it will be found in Vol. II of the Complete Plays with Prefaces, 1963 (A283), which is reprinted from the 1930 setting of the Collected Edition. My thanks to Bernard F. Dukore for calling this to my attention.

  • A173b    Table-Talk:

    The cancellans mentioned at top of p. 159 appears also in some copies of the primary issue.

  • A173c    Table-Talk:

    The translation was made, not by Trebitsch, but by Kurt Busse, Hermann George Scheffauer, Elly V. Schneider-Glend, and Lotte Lisa Haedecke.

  • A176a    Plays: Pocket Edition:

    Although standing type or stereos appear to have been used for The Admirable Bashville in A176 and A177, most of the preface was newly set.

  • A181cc    Shaw on Osteopathy:

    A similar issue to A181c was printed in Birmingham, with uniform title except for addition of date “February 11th, 1927” at lower right; text printed on pp. 3–9; [10] and [11] blank; printer’s imprint: “Silk & Terry Ltd. Birm.”, at foot of [12]. Lion Brand laid paper with vertical chains, watermark at center.

    [NC] [End Page 55]

  • A184a    [Correspondence on Fascism]:

    Add (top of p. 170), following the bracketed sources: “[BL variant (50697, ff. 237–245) lacks date and note to editors; it is identified with code ‘D.D. 58 (I.I.443).’]”.

  • A184b    [Bernard Shaw & Fascism]:

    For American distribution an indeterminate number was imprinted “Price Ten Cents” on upper wrapper and hand-stamped “Printed in England” in red ink, at an angle, alongside the price. [BR-A]

  • A187d    Intelligent Woman’s Guide:

    The Hebrew translation was made from a “corrected copy” of the book supplied by Shaw, as evidenced in his letter of 13 February 1930 to J. Chachik, of Tarbuth, Ltd. [CO-W]

  • A188     Art of Rehearsal:

    SNF copy has an altered setting on upper wrapper, with re-dating of Samuel French’s incorporation to 1929 and repositioning of the line.

  • A189c    Do We Agree?

    Publisher’s name in imprint (lines 7–8) should be in uniform capitals.

  • A195a    Apple Cart:

    The copy described on p. 180 (lines 9–14) is miscoded. It should read “[HRC]”.

  • A198a    Works: Collected Edition:

    Vol. 8: alter title to Plays Pleasant. Vol. 9: new dialogue for Cæsar and Cleopatra first appeared in A176a; see also A46a note in Supplement.

  • A198c    Works: Collected Edition:

    Separate editions: 1941 Major Barbara: some of the proofs for the aborted Dodd, Mead screen edition (including “Extra Film Scenes”) survive in the BL (50518, ff. 2–15).

  • A204b    Complete Plays:

    There was no preface in the first edition; Shaw, as noted, added one to the second edition.

  • A205a    Ellen Terry and Shaw:

    Decorations in gilt on upper and lower covers mentioned on p. 202, line 3, are French cipher monograms of ET and BS, designed by Cartier. The four-volume edition of the Collected Letters (Soho, p. 202) was completed in 1988.

  • A209a    Zu wahr:

    Also noted in variant paper boards, uniform with boards issue of Der Kaiser von Amerika (A195a). Top stained pale brown [End Page 56] (ochre?); edges trimmed. Reported by Peter Grant, Rare Books Manager, Sanders of Oxford.

  • A210c    Adventures of the Black Girl:

    Add at end of second paragraph: “See A305.”

  • A212d    Future of Political Science in America:

    On p. 215, line 18, delete “[S]” and insert “[R]”. The letter quoted is in the Reading University Library, not at Sussex.

  • A218     Address to Wellington Fabians:

    A fourth copy has since been noted.

  • A220a    Prefaces:

    Shaw’s contract with Odham’s Press (last paragraph before CONTENTS) was consummated in late 1937.

  • A226a    Simpleton, &c.:

    Flyers described on p. 227, third paragraph from end, were printed on laid paper having chains either horizontal or vertical. There is a second copy of the flyer in C-B. The alternative ending to The Millionairess was first published in Vol. 32 of the Collected Edition. The 1940 Rehearsal Copy is AA21d.

  • A230     [Letter to Ellen Terry]:

    The printing by Berman was authorised by Shaw.

  • A239     Commonsense about “Daily Worker”?:

    A variant issue [C-B; Newberry] lacks the interrogation point in drop-title. The original article, in Forward (C3396), was captioned “What About ‘Daily Worker’?” When Shaw altered the title for the pamphlet, the then-extraneous point was inadvertently retained. For a second printing, the second line of the drop-title was re-positioned and the faulty punctuation deleted.

  • A241d    Pygmalion

    Add: “d. First Australian edition (1942):” Text is that of A241a (and may be a stereo printing), with imprint of Lothian Publishing Co., Melbourne, 1942. Probably issued in March 1942.

  • A242c    Florence Farr, Shaw and Yeats:

    Contains first printing of a few new footnotes on pp. ix and 17.

  • A251a    Geneva, &c.:

    Insert at end of penultimate paragraph: “A blue paper band (6.7 cm in width) was wrapped around a portion of the copies, printed between three-line borders of small squares on front and rear of band: ‘This book includes | A NEW ACT TO “GENEVA” | A G.B.S. ACT V TO “CYMBELINE” | and | THREE NEW PREFACES’, all in red. An imprint ‘3 | NEW | PREFACES’, also in red, is inserted on the band where it covers the book’s spine.” [End Page 57]

  • A253     [Saint Joan Statue]:

    Alter “of” to “on” on p. 252, line 7.

  • A257b    On Vivisection:

    A second (revised) printing was issued by Max Reinhardt, announced for publication in March 1985 (The Bookseller, 9 February), but apparently published on 30 May.

Aa. Rough Proofs/rehearsal Copies

Revisions and Corrections

  • AA5d    Pygmalion:

    Proofs returned by Shaw on 21 August 1914, printed a few days later. Another copy at C-B.

  • AA5e    Pygmalion:

    C-B does not have this state. Ten copies were shipped for Shaw to Charles Macdona for use on his provincial tour.

  • AA10     O’Flaherty:

    Between Rough Proofs a and b, there is a variant state (C-B) in which the subtitle “An Episode . . .” is altered to “An Interlude” (all in one line, unhyphenated), and publisher’s imprint and date deleted. Pagination on p. 24 is misprinted “28.”

  • AA12b    Heartbreak:

    The unlocated rough proof described by Loewenstein may have been a proof in the Shaw collection of Ivo L. Currall, Shaw’s country solicitor in Luton, who bequeathed his collection in 1966 to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Although a few years ago the Currall proof was reported as missing from the library of that institution, by good fortune Professor A. M. Gibbs of Macquarie University, New South Wales, was able to supply a Xerox print of the proof, which he had examined some years before. This photocopy indicates that the proof had the Shaw inscription “Rough Proof. Unpublished” as called for by Loewenstein on the upper cover, and the “handwritten addition on the title page: ‘A Dramatic Fantasia”‘. As the latter is not in Shaw’s hand but in that of his secretary Ann M. Elder, as are all the corrections and revisions in the text, which she transcribed presumably from those made by Shaw in the proof returned to the printer, it is uncertain whether Loewenstein had examined the original proof sent to R. & R. Clark or the one retained in the files by Miss Elder, which Currall subsequently acquired. The information establishes, however, that at least three copies of the proof existed in the first state.

  • AA13c    Annajanska:

    Add at end: “Another copy, now at CO-W, measures 17 x 12 cm.”

  • AA16b    Too True:

    Another copy at C-B.

  • AA16c    Too True:

    Add at end of p. 396: “This state has been corrected (as evidenced [End Page 60] by ‘haf’ altered to ‘half’ at foot of p. 4) and substantively revised on p. 71.”

  • AA16d    Too True:

    Insert at end: “The 21 September printing date is now questionable, as the Theatre Museum, London, has a copy in its recently acquired Maurice Colbourne Collection inscribed on the upper wrapper: ‘Corrected Prompt Copy for Mr Maurice Colbourn [sic]. G.B.S. 17th Sep. 1932.”‘

  • AA21d    Millionairess:

    Volume number on p. 406, line 11, should be 32.

  • AA25j    Buoyant Billions:

    At a count in 1988 the number of copies at Ayot had dwindled to 23.

  • AA26     Farfetched Fables

    • AA26 pre-a    Rough proof (unbound):

      This state, which precedes AA26a by more than three months, consists of ten galley-length proof sheets, constituting numbered pages 3–32, rubber-stamped “13 OCT. 1948” at top right of first galley.

      [NC]

    • AA26a     Revisions include an extension of Sixth and Last Fable, containing a newly introduced character.

    • AA26d     Delete “and upper wrapper” from penultimate line. As noted in previous line the wrappers are blank. [End Page 61]

C. Contributions to Periodicals

Part I: Additional Entries

1877

C66a     Second Fiddle to Bacchus [uns.], The Hornet, XXIII (3 October), 473. Assignment is conjectural. Although Shaw’s cuttings-book for The Hornet (BL 50691) ends on 26 September (C66), his engagements diary [BLPES] contains, in a record of musical events attended for the journal, an entry on 17 October “last Ht contributed to”, which suggests that Shaw may have contributed to the first three issues in October. The 10 and 17 October issues contain only brief reviews of new music, which could conceivably have been by Shaw. Very likely to have been Shaw’s is a lengthy piece on 3 October, dealing with promenade concerts and florid conductors, much in his early satiric spirit, introducing a number of musical apparitions: “The wraith of Mozart . . . The spirit of Bach . . . The ghost of Beethoven”, which anticipates more sophisticated but similar treatments of apparitions in “The St. James’s Hall Mystery” (C3973) written in 1879 and in the 1887 “Don Giovanni Explains” (A198a, vol. 6). See also musical “ghost” allusions in The World on 18 November 1891 (C823) and 7 March 1894 (C1005). The only known surviving copy of The Hornet for 3 October 1877 is in the Guildhall Library, London.

Part II: Revisions and Corrections

  • C423     What the World Says

    Stanley Weintraub conjectures, in the Diaries, 6 April 1888 (Suppl., A317), that an unsigned note on the loan collection of paintings of Elizabeth Butler is written by Shaw; but the ascription, on the basis of a reference to Browning, is tenuous.

  • C431     What We Think [Leader: Ireland and the Tory Government]:

Add at end: “Stanley Weintraub, who succeeded to the editorship of the Diaries after Rypins’s death, retained the Rypins assumptions in the edition published in 1986. These, however, ignored the fact, especially in the contributions to The Star in its first few months of publication (January–April 1888), that Shaw painstakingly distinguished the categories of his submissions, confining ‘leaders’ and ‘sub-leaders’ to political subjects (generally revised by the editor T. P. O’Connor or the sub-editor H. W. Massingham), with ‘leaderettes’ applied to social subjects (like blasphemy laws or the British Museum libraryship), and ‘notes’, ‘paragraphs’, or ‘notices’ reserved for music, drama, and art subjects, which never were recorded in the diaries as ‘leaderettes’. On the basis of present evidence no hard and fast decision is possible; but I continue to incline to the leader rather than to Rypins’s substitution.”

  • C517     [Beckmann]

    Stanley Weintraub [A321] identifies the artist as Conrad Beckmann (1846–1902), German portrait and historical painter. He may be right; but confirmation not established.

Part I: Additional Entries

E1a     1908     Arnold Crossley, The Compleat Baby Book (London: Evan Yellon, The Celtic Press). A “private communication from Mr. Shaw to the author . . . , is made public by the writer’s kind permission.” The letter, dated 16 June 1908, is printed in full on a flyer (24.6 x 18.8 cm: off-white wove paper), captioned “A LETTER FROM | GEORGE BERNARD SHAW.” The text was collected (with two non-relevant sentences dropped) in A198, Vol. 22: “A Neglected Subject of Education”. See also C1648. [Berst collection]

E2b     1916     Frank Harris, Oscar Wilde: His Life and Confessions (New York: Harris). Harris distributed a fly-sheet (approx. 17 x 10.5 cm), printed on recto only, of “OPINIONS ON ADVANCE SHEETS”, headed by Shaw’s comment, “This biography wipes out all other biographies. . . . Wilde’s memory will have to stand or fall by it.” The remarks were extracted from a Shaw letter to Harris of 7 August 1916, with some liberties taken in the first portion. [See Suppl., A313] [DHL-G (photocopy)]

E8a     1929     Marie Stopes, Enduring Passion (London: Putnam). An advertisement in P.E.N. News (March 1929), 9, headed “G. BERNARD SHAW says”, contains extracts, set in italics, presumably from a letter to the publisher: “Life, especially married life, is unnecessarily troubled and occasionally wrecked because we have no technique of marriage; and this ignorance is produced by the deliberate suppression of all responsible information on the subject. England has an expert instructress in the person of Dr. Marie Stopes. . . . numbers of needlessly unhappy marriages have been set right by her instruction.”

E21a     1944     Marie Stopes, Oriri (London: William Heinemann, 1940). Brief statement, obviously from a letter to Stopes, in an advertisement of three works, including Oriri, captioned “Poetry by Dr. Marie Stopes”, Life and Letters To-day, No. 83 (July 1944), 61: “Amazing! It will keep up your new reputation as a poet nobly.” [End Page 98]
