Log off from the group for a week or two because nothing much is happening, and suddenly everything goes into high gear... typical. I should add a brief note...
Mike, Didn't mean to cause a ruckus in your absence. In re: "The Jumping Man" -- Terry Hooper stated that his copy disappeared into the hands of a Yorkshire...
This piece on the author of Mysteries of London I found in the Examiner for November 17, 1839 under the heading LAW. The queer part is his mention of evidence...
I can't vouch for the authenticity of this story ; it may be just a penny-a-liner's dream. From the Examiner, November 20, 1836 ; Accidents, Offences, &c. ...

JESS Best of luck with your new book! I have some idea just how long it took you to put this book together. Again, congratulations! Best, Joe Rainone (I...
Jess, Received my copy today. Brilliant! But why was the 1878 (1889?) Spring-Heeled Jack omitted from the SHJ entry? (The hero was Ralph Ashton and the...
What I am about to propose may seem startling but - Charles Fox must have published two different versions of Spring Heeled Jack. The first was by Walter...
To further clarify and/or confuse... The copy I own -- Spring-Heeled Jack, The Terror of London -- is 576 pages long in 48 parts. It was copied from the...
... From: John Adcock <ponche@...> ... That's the one, yeah, although the date I have for the BL version is 1886. No idea whether that was my transcription...

... From: pulpking11510 <pulp9860@...> ... also the inclusion of The Man in the Black Cloak but was surprised to see that you left out Fantomas. Thanks!...
Jess, Yes, I think Fantomas misses being Victorian by about 9 years. But, as is the case with the Man in the Black Cloak being a possible source of the...
Jess, An absolutely elegant summary of the transition between Victorian and Edwardian literature. Beautifully done, but I guess that's why you're Jess Nevins...
