Publication Details: Peter Davies, 1930

Notes: An expurgated version, with evasions and euphemisms in place of the original's various obscenities, of Manning's 'The Middle Parts of Fortune' - published the previous year by Davies under his Piazza Press imprint, in a limited edition for subscribers. The dustjacket is scarce in this sort of condition, here retaining both the printed flaps - promising 'no propaganda [...] but [...] the unvarnished truth'.
