* This fine bibliophile book
contains a passionate article written by Lord Alfred Douglas in August,
1895, for his incarcerated friend Oscar Wilde, for the Mercure de France.
However, the article was withdrawn at the last minute and long considered
lost. A manuscript of the French translation survived and was re-translated
into English. It is followed by Douglas' reminiscences of Wilde's last
years in Paris. A first edition of Lord Alfred Douglas!
