  3. DON LEON

    DON LEON | a poem | by the Late Lord Byron, | to which is added | LEON TO ANNABELLA | an Epistle from | Lord Byron to Lady Byron | London | Printed for the Booksellers | 1866 [c.1890]

    Small 8vo. Approximately 136pp. irregularly numbered, in sections. Printed by Veuve Félix Guy in a limited edition of 75 copies on hand-made paper and an unknown number printed on ordinary wove paper.

    The title page transcription is taken from a collector's catalogue. Despite the authorship stated on the title page, these poems were not written by Lord Byron. According to the entry in Cambridge "Cf. Wise, Ashley Lib. I, 168. Knight, Lord Byron's marriage, p. 162 states that both pieces are probably by George Colman the younger [1762-1836], and that the "Notes to Don Leon" were written at various times by various hands."

    This work was first published in 1866 by William Dugdale, with Leon to Annabella having been printed one year earlier in 1865 [Ashbee: Vol.1, p.189-193]. Don Leon consists of 1,455 lines entirely in defense of sodomy. Later published London: Fortune Press, 1934 from the Carrington edition.

    Title page only seen. Note that this copy is an earlier edition than the one mentioned in Mendes [See: Mendes: P47-A]. According to Legman's penciled in note on the front flyleaf of this present work, this is "Carrington's first book". Only one copy is known to exist and is in a private collection. First published in London, probably by William Lazenby and Edward Avery, in 1851 [1884] (the title page shows the false date of 1851) [Ashbee: Vol.3, p.483].

  10. DOUBLE LIFE OF CUTHBERT COCKERTON, THE

    Probably Carrington. Although the title page says 1895, "it was certainly not published before 1898 or 1899" [per Peter Mendes]. This work is an English translation [adaptation] of L'Anti-Justine by Restif de la Bretonne, originally published in 1798, to which he probably set up the type himself. Bretonne was known to write directly onto the printing press as opposed to writing the conventional way on paper first. The translation of this present work was possibly done by John Stephen Farmer. Note: the title word "Cuthbert" is spelled "Cughbert" in the Kinsey catalogue

There is also an edition with a 1904 date but which Mendes dates at c.1912; possibly published by Carrington or Roberts and Dardaillon. This work was also published by Jean Fort under his imprint Collection des Orties Blanches in c.1917 as Dolly Morton with author as Donovan Kipps, illustrated with 7 plates by Louis Malteste; and again as The Memoirs of Dolly Morton in c.1928, which is a reprint of Carrington's En Virginie.
