- THE STORY OF MY DICTATORSHIP
New York, Sterling Publishing Company, 1897. 0 pp. Soft cover. Utopian novel set in Britain. 133,[4]pp small 8vo grey printed wrappers. The Sterling Library, Vol.1 No.3, 20 cents. This edition with preface by William Lloyd Garrison dated 4 April 1894 first appeared soon after that date, but later than the London edition. Poor paper rather foxed and wear to spine and wrappers, but book is intact. *** Lyman Sargent has shown that the work was first published serialised from Dec.1887 in the Adelaide journal "Our Commonwealth", founded by Ignatius Singer to promote land nationalization and the single tax. It then appeared in the London Weekly Times & Echo from June 1893, and in book form in London, New York, Australia, and New Zealand all in 1894. The London edition was probably the first - listed in Pall Mall Gazette 25 Jan.1894 as "just published" (and copies of this had reached NZ and Australia by March 1894), while the US Sterling edition is first listed Brooklyn Daily Eagle 20 May 1894. The earliest ad for the NZ edition (price 9d.) is in late November 1894; the date of the Australian edition is uncertain, but copies of the UK and US editions were on sale there before it appeared. Very Good.
