London: Watts & Co, 1927. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good Dust Jacket. Hardcover. First Edition. "This is a new kind of autobiography. I give a brief description of myself, but for the most part I reveal a mind in action by means of story, sketch, and essay. If you collect a considerable number of articles, written at various times, you are able to discover your dominant interests. I find that my principal interests are London, Shakespeare, Evolution, and Self-Cuture. In other words, I am a worshipper of life, for London, Shakespeare, and Evolution are large slices of life" (preface). A collection of outspoken thoughts and comments from a working man on his life, observations, and experiences in "modern" (1920s) London.
