Harold MacGrath - Hearts and Masks - possible missing pages?
I have a copy of Harold MacGrath's "Hearts and Masks", illustrated by Harrison Fisher, published by Grosset & Dunlap, copyright 1905 by The Bobbs-Merrill Company. It may be missing some pages or illustrations. Since the book has neither a table of contents nor a list of illustrations, I can't be sure. I'd like to check these two items: 1. The book ends at page 314. There's no "The End" or "Finis" or any definitive end-of-book indicator. Are there any pages after 314? 2. The book has ten illustrations: the Frontispiece, and nine others facing these pages: 10, 22, 38, 58, 70, 98, 110, 124, and 250. Some of the existing illustrations are loose, so I don't know if they're where they should be or not. Are the existing ones in the correct locations? Are there any others that are missing? I've done some research (Google and AbeBooks) that would indicate that page 314 is indeed the last page, and the above 10 illustrations are all there are, but I'd like to check. If anyone out there has this book, can you verify that my copy is complete, and if it isn't, scan and send me what's missing? Thanks, Al It's missing the leaf containing pages 3 and 4. Would anyone happen to have images of these two pages? (If not, I'll put in a transcriber's note about the missing pages, and finish/upload the book, as it stands.)
My library has a 1905 Canadian printing of this title in microfiche. I'll take a look tomorrow (thursday) unless anyone mentions that they have a paper copy of the book readily accessible. Andrew On Wed, 14 Dec 2005, Al Haines (shaw) wrote:

Today I checked the microfiche of this title at the University of Victoria Library. It was made from a 1905 printing by McLeod & Allen, Toronto, and also mentiones The Bobbs-Merrill Company on the TP verso. The last numbered page is 186, but there is one more page, [187], which has the final text of the novel. This last page begins with the paragraph: "Hang it; I _do_ love you!" and ends with: But she didn't. This text does indeed have ten full-page illustrations. They seem to match the story on the surrounding pages. Descriptions as follows [page numbers indicate facing page.]: Frontispiece p.8 -- 3 people sitting at a table and 1 standing. p.32 -- exchange with pawn broker. p.38 -- man in robe. p.56 -- man in monk costume talking with woman in columbine costume. p.82 -- "Monk" and "Blue Domino" seated, talking. p.100 -- same two characters, candle and apples in foreground. p.154 -- Man and woman in formal evening wear. p.170 -- woman bandaging wounded arm as others look on. (seems to match events on p.179) p.182 -- Woman in cloak and man in evening wear, standing. Hope this helps, Andrew On Wed, 14 Dec 2005, Al Haines (shaw) wrote:
