Mr. Robert Ross in his eulogy considers 1896 as Beardsley's _annus mirabilts_, and remarks that it would be impossible to believe he could have surpassed the work of that year but for the illustrations to "Volpone." They characterise in a very marked manner the singular genius both in creative faculty and draughtsmanship of the artist. THE PIERROT OF THE MINUTE A DRAMATIC PHANTASY IN ONE ACT BY ERNEST DOWSON With Illustrations and a Cover-Design by AUBREY BEARDSLEY Crown 4to. Price 10s. 6d. net (originally published at 7s. 6d. net) _Limited to three hundred copies of the ordinary issue (of which very few remain)_ A peculiar and pathetic interest attaches itself to this volume on account of the sad, even tragic end of Ernest Dowson. The obituary notices following his death were to many the first intimation of his existence, but to those who knew him there was little room for doubt that he possessed a genius which was as remarkable as it was ill-starred.
