CONTENTS: Baby Tortoise; Tortoise-Shell; Tortoise Family Connections; Lui
et Elle; Tortoise Gallantry; Tortoise Shout.
Small medium 8vo, 9 × 6; issued in old gold boards; front cover has
picture in many colors; in right of foreground giant tortoise is
suspended, in framework of heavy timbers, by rope around his middle;
in the middle-ground and background, showing through heavy-timbered
frame, is one of Hiroshige’s views of Fujiyama, the whole being a
reproduction of a print by this artist; front cover lettered in black
in imitation Chinese lettering as follows: _Tortoises_ / _by_ / _D. H.
Lawrence_ Backbone has white paper title-and-name label lettered in
black: (vertical line) _Tortoises—D. H. Lawrence_ (vertical line). Back
cover blank. Top edges cut; fore edges uncut and unopened; bottom edges
untrimmed. End-papers white.
This is the first and only separate edition of _Tortoises_, which book
has never been published in single-volume form in England. Its first
appearance there between boards was in _Birds, Beasts and Flowers_, where
it occupies pages 117-138. Although this item is still easy to come by,
Lawrence collectors who haven’t it will do well to get copies soon.
Already English catalogues list _Tortoises_ at a price considerably in
advance of the American publication price. Naturally the book is less
common in England than here.

Sardinia_, by D. H. Lawrence), consisting of half-title (verso
blank), pp. (1, 2); frontispiece; title-page, as above (with
_Copyright, 1921, by_ / _Thomas Seltzer, Inc._ / (a line)

148, 180, 204, 236, 268, 300 are faced by illustrations in
color tipped-in, all with protecting tissue. P. 44 is faced by
map, in black.
Medium 8vo, 9¼ × 6¼; issued in light green boards with yellow cloth back,
approximating half-cloth; front and back covers blank; backbone has light
green paper title-and-name label lettered across in dark blue as follows:
_Sea_ / _and_ / _Sardinia_ / (small ornament) / _By_ / _D. H. Lawrence_ /
(small ornament) / _Thomas Seltzer_ (all surrounded by one-line box). Top
edges cut; fore and bottom edges untrimmed. End-papers white.
_Sea and Sardinia_ was Mr. Lawrence’s second volume of travel
sketches—only “travel” and “sketches” are not quite the words needed
here. In any case, a glorious book. Something will be gained if all
persons ignorant of _Sea and Sardinia_ (and _Twilight in Italy_) stop
pretending to a full knowledge of Mr. Lawrence’s prose. Because the book
has nowhere had the reading it deserves, the first issues of _Sea and
Sardinia_, both American and English, are still relatively easy to get.

with the Seeker format of Mr. Lawrence’s novels, beginning with _The Lost
Girl_. It is a beautiful book. Indeed, taken merely as a book, this is
perhaps the most beautiful Lawrence item.

_England, My England_ was Mr. Lawrence’s second volume of short stories.
It came almost eight years after the first. However, the long interval
between _The Prussian Officer_ and this second collection would seem to
have less significance in his career as a writer of short stories than
some reviewers of _England, My England_ tried to make out. At any rate,
the title story of the latter volume appeared in the _English Review_
in October, 1915, and some of the other stories were published several
years before their appearance in book form. All this as may be, _England,
My England_ is a Lawrence item of great importance. The book is still
“easy” in either the American or the English first form.

_Studies in Classic American Literature_ is, so far, Mr. Lawrence’s only

serially in the _English Review_. The dates of their appearance in that
journal are given under Contributions to Periodicals, where a paper on
Whitman in the London _Nation_ is also noted. Before their publication
in book form the essays were materially revised, and several new studies
