Love Letters by a Violinist   (by Eric Mackay, however 1st edition was published anonymously) London: Field & Tuer, 1884.   Dedication: ‘To Marie’.  Marie Corelli was responsible for it being published, she corrected the proofs, chose the bookdesign, binding and so on & paid for all the costs. It was a small quaint, vellum-bound, antique-looking book, tied up on all sides with strings of golden silk ribbon, printed on handmade paper, uncut and illustrated throughout with fanciful wood-cuts. Reprints appeared with ‘London: Walter Scott’ entitled: ‘Love Letters of a Violinist : and other poems’

Fifty-Two Sunday Stories for boys & girls.   (by M. Corelli, Sarah Doudneyer, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Lucy C. Lillie, Kate Upson Clark, Elizabeth W. Bellamy, Edward W. Thomson, Will N. Harben, etc.) Corelli contribution: ‘Angel's Wickedness’ (13 pages, no illustration), London: Hutchinson & Co, (oct?) 1898
Love Letters of a Worldly Woman (?by Marie Corelli?), New York: Merrill & Baker , 1898? (-book is undated however it contains previous ownership with year notice 1898), 192p.   Preface with initials ‘L.C.’.  Corelli's name appears on the title page and the spine. The mystery is that this very same book is also published with ‘Harpers and Brothers, New York’ in 1892, but the author being one ‘Mrs. (Lucy) William Kingdom Clifford’ , having the same booktitle and containing identical stories, the initials in the preface of Corelli's version ‘L.C.’ could very well stand for ‘Lucy Clifford’.   It is written in the style of Corelli, has pretty much her concepts and her way of telling a story (pretty harsh and coldblooded at times). It contains 3 stories, expressed through their letters and their (ex)lovers letters. “These be three women who loved the world: not meaning the pomp's and vanities, but the round world itself and the people who belong to it. All had the bandage lifted from their eyes, and as they became wise proved how sad a thing is wisdom”. i. e. ‘A modern correspondence’, ‘Love letters of a worldly woman’& ‘On the wane’.  It contains several nice looking pen illustrations.   -Anyone being able to shed some light on this mystery of how this book came about, please let me know! It is to be mentioned that the Clifford-version is quite usual, however where it concerns the Corelli-version the ónly reference I have ever seen is this very book version which I had located.  Was this book a joke, proof, fake or may be an erroneous publication of some sort? It is assumed that this book was in fact written by Mrs. Lucy Clifford, due to the rarity of this particular book and the fact that mistakes were also made in these days.
Additional note: I have in my collection a letter written by Marie Corelli send to one Mrs. Clifford, dated June 21, 1889. Corelli addesses her as a “congenial spirit”.

Collier & Son, ca 1890s (Salesman's copy). Introducing Corelli's first five novels. It has an intro giving a brief description of these books as well as a description of Corelli herself and her critics. It sets her year of birth at 1864 (=1855). It contains in sequence: ‘The Best Novels of Marie Corelli’ 15p, ‘Vendetta’ 1st 30p, ‘Thelma’ 1st 30 p, ‘Wormwood’ 1st 36p, ‘A Romance of Two Worlds’ 1st 34p, ‘Ardath’ 1st 22p, all having the frontispieces bound in.
(What is a ‘Salesman's copy’? - In the 19th century, salesmen sold books door-to-door in rural farming areas of the USA. Instead of taking the books with them, the salesman would take these samples with him. The customer would look at the sample and decide if they wished to purchase it. If they did purchase the book, it would then be mailed to the customer by the publisher. Obviously, a salesman (who probably only had a few suitcases with him) could carry many more samples with him then if he tried to bring the actual book (or set of books in this case).

A second issue had a disclaimer by Smithers and eventually the remaining copies were issued by Ryan himself, with his own imprint pasted over Smithers imprint ('The author, 39 Glengarry Rd, London S.E.'). Ryan(1867-1942) was a journalist in London, who dabbled in fiction, poetry and plays.

With introductions and references provided, the author jaunts through England and Scotland on his mission to find interesting and important things to say about his client's ancestors. An erudite and effete observer, the author writes about many Scots who emigrated to America who produced prominent descendants: Andrew Carnegie, Hugh Mercer, James Gordon Bennett, et. al. He also takes detours to study literature, poetry, folklore, history, politics, and family life throughout his travels. Contains: In Shakespeare's Land, including an interview with Marie Corelli
