Lewis Henry Berens and Ignatius Singer [named on cover] - THE STORY OF MY DICTATORSHIP, The Taxation of Land Values Clearly Explained

Glasgow, Land Values Publication Department, 1910. 0 pp. Soft cover. Utopian novel set in Britain. On cover: "New and Unabridged Edition. One Penny (stiff paper covers 6d, cloth 1/-)". 48pp in double columns, 8vo red printed wrappers. Spine ragged (probably disbound from a bound collection), wrappers frayed and waterstained at end. 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. Good.
