'A deliberately outrageous and iconoclastic "little magazine," whose title was intended to challenge The London Mercury. Like most little magazines it was a complete failure. Only six numbers were planned, and all were published, but they ruined the press' (Cave).

With contributions by Norman Douglas, Aldous Huxley, Sacheverell Sitwell, Liam O'Flaherty, among others.

6 vols (all published); 8vo; 5 full-page black and white plates after Norman Lindsay, Lionel Ellis, and Elioth Gruner, covers and title illustrations by Norman Lindsay, double-page musical score to volume 5, slight age-toning, else unmarked internally; publisher's pictorial wrappers, a little browning to the covers; a near-fine set.

Ransom 22.
