Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. [1st edition, probable first state] ; 2, pp., 1 leaf, 363 pp. ; 20 cm. ; LC: PR5042 ; OCLC: 17486175 ; Forms v. 3 of a trilogy; v. 1 has title: Ave; v. 2, Salve.; black cloth with stamped designs and gold lettering ; bookplate of Green's Library, Dublin on front ep ; name on front ep ; much foxing ; hinges shaken ; the third -- and H L Mencken called it the best -- of the trilogy of recollections and gossip concerning Dublin and its giants of the Celtic Revival, the writing of which provided much amusement to readers, but soured Moore's relationships with his friends. ; "Dear naughty George Moore - sad, bad, mad - has reformed.

To 'get even' he conceived the idea of writing a series of novels, with real people bearing their own names. That he hasn't been shot at, horsewhipped, or sued for libel thus far is just his usual good luck. Vale is largely a book of capricious insults."-- James Huneker ; an important oddity for addition to an Irish Renaissance collection ; G. Book.…
