Le Panier aux ordures is a collection of exceedingly licentious songs and poems by Armand Gouffé, Bruneau, Brazier, Antignac etc., taken from a Ms preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. An English collector, Richard Monckton Milnes had a copy of this taken and in 1865 caused a small edition to be published at London in facsimile of his manuscript. This edition was presumably that issued by J. C. Hotten (see Ashbee, vol. I, p. 12). It is possible that the following two entries are for the collector's manuscript copy and an exemplar of Hotten's published edition respectively. In the present edition, pp. (41) 150 contain a supplement of additional material. P.C. 31.g.4

In fact it is the pseudonym of an Englishman who, at the time he was writing for the Olympia Press, was a teacher at a private school at Athens. Under the same pseudonym he also wrote for the Olympia Press a novel entitled "The Whipping Post" (1959). Using the pseudonym 'Greta X' he wrote two other novels, "There's a Whip in my Valise" (1961) and "Whipsdom" (1962), published by the Olympia Press in their 'Ophir' and 'Othello' series respectively.

This translation of Confession galante forms vol. iii in the series Bibliothèque français which Smithers issued. The other volumes were Perret's Tableaux vivants and Opus Sadicum, a dreadful translation of Sade's Justine first published by Liseux at Paris in 1889 and here reissued with a new titlepage. The fact that Smithers limited his advertised edition of Opus Sadicum to only so copies, as opposed to a limitation of 250 copies in the case of the other two books, suggests that he came into possession of a small number of Liseux's remainder stock. A different translation of this work entitled 'Voluptous confessions of a French Lady of fashion,' will be found serialised in the pages of The Boudoir, q.v. ante.

Page 279 PETITES ALLIÉES
from M. Maurice Girodias dated January 8th, 1979. 'Soliman Peters' sold his Ms to the Olympia Press for a straight fee and was not given a contract since it was the policy of M. Girodias, publisher of the Olympia Press, to issue contracts only to those authors whose books he considered legitimate and defendable and who didn't employ pseudonyms. At the same time the MS was also sold to a rival of M. Girodias, one Bruno Durocher, otherwise known as Kaminsky, who had a small printing business on rue Séguier, Paris. Both editions came out more or less simultaneously but in the case of Kaminsky's edition, which was presumably that issued under the impress of 'Week End Books' above, it was published with a contract thus making it impossible for M. Girodias to take legal action defending his own edition. To save the situation, the book was withdrawn and issued again with a new title and pseudonym and a rewritten opening page of text. This version was entitled "Springtime in Paris" by 'Theobald Lovelace', a copy of which will be found entered under that pseudonym, ante. (30 January 1964.) P.C. 14.g.38.

Page 288 PURE VÉRITÉ CACHÉE
Tome Premier (- Deuxième). Paris: chez les marchands de nouveautés. (c. 1875.) 16mo. Two volumes. pp. 146, 119. Perceau (25 :1) dates this volume 1850, but Rund (207) disagrees, claiming that typographical evidence indicates a date of between 20 and 30 years later. The BL General Catalogue entry, which would have been written in consultation with Perceau's Bibliographie, sides with Rund on the issue, suggesting that the date should be 1880. Gay's Bibliographie (3rd ed., vol. 6, p. 148), which was published in 1873, notes only an edition published at Brussels in 1862 with the false imprint 'Florence,' which Perceau states to be the second edition. The present copy has the name of the bookseller and publisher E. Avery stamped onto the free end-paper of vol. 2. (7 November 1885.) P.C. 26.b.34.
