The Book of Jade

David Park Barnitz · 1901

Year established 2026-08-20 from the title page of bookofjade00gautiala, which reads The Book of Jade / Doxey's / At the Sign of the Lark / New York, and from the copyright page in the same copy, Copyright / Doxey's 1901. Gutenberg 46827 prints the same imprint. The Archive.org catalogue attributes the item to Judith Gautier (1845–1917); that is a cataloguing error, not another book — the title page names no author, and the volume was published anonymously. Membership is the Standard Ebooks spine: 59 poems. The 1901 contents also list Dead Dialogue, which extract declined as z3998:drama. After-Life is on the spine and was not in the 1901 book; Standard Ebooks took it from the Overland Monthly for January 1901.

Numbers are the poem's position in the book.
