Remarks:

The second edition of this pamphlet omitted “A Galahad in Gomorrah”.  This piece is a review of an 1896 volume of verse by Lord Alfred Douglas and T.W.H. Crosland’s “The First Stone” which was a scathing response in poetry to parts of Oscar Wilde’s “De Profundis” before it was published.  This piece is in defense of Oscar Wilde but was omitted in the second edition because it was considered libellous.
