Sobre este artículo
London and Salisbury: Simpkin, Marshall and Co. and Brown and Co. [3], 4-28pp, [4], original paper covers, n.d. but 1871. Covers lightly foxed, rubbed, chipped to corners with small amount of loss, some light foxing internally, but generally fairly bright and clean. Allegorical account of the Franco-Prussian war which inspired several replies. The author H.[enry] W.[illiam] Pullen was a clergyman. Wikpedia notes "Pullen found fame with a pamphlet 'The Fight at Dame Europa's School'. A parable on the European situation, it made John, the head of the school, who refuses to separate Louis and William in a fight, though he sees that Louis is beaten and that the prolongation of the fight is mere cruelty. John is reproached by Dame Europa for cowardice, is told that he has grown "a sloven and a screw", and is threatened with loss of his position. It was a runaway success, and earned Pullen £3000. A dramatised version by George T. Ferneyhough was acted on 17 March 1871 by amateurs at Derby in aid of a fund for French sufferers. There were many replies, among them the anonymous 'John Justified', by Charles William Grant" (Wikipedia). Reprint. Paper Covers. Good. 16mo. Pamphlet.
