Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'I have received some copies of "The Roll Call". They are odious in a very high degree. I do not complain of the quality of the paper, but I object to there being two half-titles one before the title and the other after it! I object more strongly to the illustrated cover being passed without reference to the author and still more strongly to the descriptive matter not being submitted to the author. The description of the book inside the jacket: "Can a man love two women is the theme of this book", is perfectly ridiculous and extremely misleading.'
