The Artificial Mother: A Marital Fantasy

Written and perhaps published c. 1870 1894 chapbook ed. reviewed Detroit Free Press 1894-09-24 p3, and briefly Hartford Courant -10-12 p9, and blurbed as received, Manchester Guardian -11-20 p9. • HC: "written [25] years ago, but here printed for the first time, with poorish illustrations by A. W. Van Deusen" • DFP: "written nearly a quarter of a century ago. It is republished not, as the publisher tells us, for its literary merit, but because of its philanthropic purpose and because it furnishes situations which can be used to advantage by a clever draughtsman. ... [AWvD] has done full justice to the lines of the narrative."
