WORKS BY SIR HALL CAINE, K.B.E.

Hall Caine's ancestors on his father's side appear to have been crofters, near the Curragh in the north of the Island. His grandfather was a small farmer in Ballaugh parish. He was born in 1853 and spent his early life in the Isle of Man and partly in Liverpool, making frequent visits to Cumberland. His earliest London posts were on the staffs of the 'Academy' and Athenĉum.'

Mr. G. Fred. Clucas, who in 1912-13 proposed, and had made considerable headway in compiling a catalogue of works relating to the Isle of Man, wrote to Mr. Hall Caine in reference to his project. The following letter was received in reply :

62 Avenue Road,
Regent's Park, N.W.
27th Oct. 1913.

Dear Mr. Clucas,

I am afraid I cannot be of much use to you in the matter of the bibliography of my own works. I have never kept track of the subject except so far as concerns the titles of my own books. I do not even know how many editions of them have been published. I can only say, generally, that there have been very many - probably not fewer than 200 editions or impressions - and that the notable items of the bibliography in the form of essays, poems, articles, and criticism are probably four or five times as many as that. Hence my guess would be that there would be at least 1,000 items in England, America and various Continental countries. Under these circumstances I much doubt whether it is worth your while to follow up my bibliography. The only thing I can suggest at the moment is that you should look at the fly leaves of " The Woman Thou Gavest Me," where the foreign translations are given without regard to editions and impressions in England and America.

I cannot help you to the American editions or even to the English editions, and I have only the vaguest general sense either of my own contributions to periodical literature or of the critiques by other authors that have been published in outstanding places.

I am very sorry to send you this rather indefinite reply, but I feel quite sure that not in a month - perhaps not m three months - could I make you a better answer.

With kindest greetings and best wishes. Yours very truly, HALL CAINE.
