The Dome: a Quarterly containing Examples of All the Arts. Number Two. London: The Unicorn Press 1897. Printed papercovered boards. Corners a little bumped, very slight erosion to the paper on the spine, a nice, very good copy. A single volume of this short lived fin de siècle arts magazine, which contains the first appearance of William Butler Yeats’s poem “He Mourns for the Change that Has come upon Him and His Beloved, and Longs for the End of the World” (here entitled more simply “The Desire of Man and of Woman”). A poem inspired by Celtic folklore and by Yeats’s relationships with Maud Gonne and Olivia Shakespear, it was reprinted, with some minor textual changes and a fuller explanatory note by the author, in Yeats’s 1899 collection The Wind Among the Reeds. In his later note Yeats explains the poem in part by quoting Coleridge: “The man’s desire is for the woman; but the woman’s desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.” Also contains illustrations by D.G. Rossetti and Gleeson White; music by Edward Elgar; a contribution by Laurence Housman. [BTC #317112] 14 (Archeology). GLIDDON, [George R.]. Autograph Letter Signed to John R. Bartlett. Four page Autograph Letter Signed from the American Egyptologist and anthropologist George Robin Gliddon to archeologist, ethnologist, and noted traveler John R. Bartlett. One octavo leaf folded into four pages, Signed “Gliddon,” dated 6 June 1847 from the Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia. Gliddon apologizes for not writing, laying the blame on archeologist and editor E.G. Squier who apparently was supposed to explain to Bartlett about Gliddon’s travel and adventures in Ohio. Gliddon facetiously threatens that if Squier has failed in this charge, Gliddon will “… review him, as Job wished to serve his ‘adversary’s book’, in the Jerusalem Quarterly.” Gliddon discusses a mixup in receiving Bartlett’s book, Progress of Ethnology, buying a copy, lending it to Hodgson, acknowledges Bartlett’s kind notice of him in the book, etc. He relates the activities of another acquaintance, Dickson. He mentions his western trip, and claims that “in Louisville, Ky. they tax intelligence $5 per night!” He looks forward to seeing Bartlett “so I shall have the pleasure of fighting our battles over again.” He mentions other colleagues as well. An interesting letter between two leading archeologists of the day. [BTC #326510] 15 (Art). DRIVER, Clive E.
