He was born John James Young in the slums of Manchester. He later spent many years in Africa, including Sierra Leone, Grand Bassa in Liberia, Conakry in French Guinea and later, Onitsha on the Niger River. In Onitsha, he worked as a successful trader. He once alleged to have had a romantic-type relationship with Oscar Wilde, claiming that he met Oscar Wilde in June 1894 as a teenager, while dining at the Savoy, and visited the Haymarket to see Oscar Wilde's play 'Lady Windermere's Fan'. John Moray Stuart-Young forged letters allegedly by Wilde to substantiate this. *** 'Osrac: The Self-Sufficient' contains his memoirs and the supposed letters of Oscar Wilde as well as in the latter part his own fin-de-siècle poems. ***John Stuart-Young wrote and published many works of literature including books of poetry, novels, descriptions of African life and autobiographical works. His poems are closely linked to fin-de-siècle and Uranian themes, being informed by decadence and colonialism. ***First impression of the true first edition, in its original art-nouveau gilt illustrated cloth-covered boards. A scarce item, of interest to collectors of rare Oscar Wilde related works of literature, the work of J. M. Stuart-Young, fin-de-siècle literature and poetry, and the titles published by the Hermes Press in Cecil Court, London. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

A rare early edition, the fifth, in contemporary sheep of this uncommon allegorical fantasy about the isles of Love and Marriage in which the reader is given a description of these islands and what to expect when venturing there, which was first published in 1742. Henry (Harry) Carey (1687-1743) was a poet and songwriter best-known today for his facetious dramas, "Carey's métier was satire and comedy; it was through Signor Carini and Lampe's burlesque opera The Dragon of Wantley (1737) and its sequel, Margery, or, A Worse Plague than the Dragon (1738), that he achieved deserved fame" (ODNB). He wrote a number of plays on love and marriage, lambasting the popular theatrical styles of the time, such as Chrononhotonthologos: the most tragical tragedy that ever was tragediz'd by any company of tragedians (1734, under the pseudonym Benjamin Bounce). Carey's end of life, however, was truly tragic as, overcome with grief after the death of his son, and facing professional difficulties, he hanged himself in 1743, leaving behind a pregnant wife and three children. Early editions of this work are rare, we could trace none currently on the market, and only three auction records: one for this edition sold in 1992, and two for the first edition sold in 1971 and 2012. ESTC T105580. Duodecimo (163 x 98 mm). Title printed in red and black, 1 p. of publisher's advertisements at end. Contemporary sheep. Neat ink ownership inscriptions to title recto and verso, 6 lines of early manuscript verses to verso of last blank, and a cut-out catalogue description for a 1772 edition. Spine ends sometime restored, light wear to extremities, front hinge cracked but firm, very occasional spotting; still a very good copy.
