ONE OF TWO KNOWN COPIES

STEVENSOW, ROBERT LOUIS.

Confessions of a Unionist.

New York [Charles Scribners, 1888].

Original proof-sheets, four galleys.

This story was written by Stevenson for Scribner's
Magazine, while he was at Saranac in 1888.

It was never published, however — in February,
1888, Stevenson wrote E. L. Burlingame, Scribner's editor: "Of
course don't use it. Dear Man, I write these to please you, not
myself, and you know a main sight better than I do what is good."

Only one other copy of this proof is known to exist.
It appeared in the sale of Mrs. Strong's effects and is now in the
Widener Library at Harvard. A limited edition reprint was
published from it by Mrs. Livingston.

Prideaux, No. 100.
