Synopsis

Excerpt from Book-Auction Records, Vol. 19: A Priced and Annotated Record of London, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Book-Auctions; For the Auction Season 1921-22 (Containing 17, 743 Records)

The eccentric in question was the ill-fated William Nelson Gardiner, child of fortune, Jack of most trades, impecunious artist, itinerant stroller, unsuccessful bookseller, eccentric, last of all - suicide. Judged by the standard of the world Gardiner was a failure, and not even a splendid failure. And yet - as a general rule it is the failures of life that are the more interesting, seldom the successes.
