The Barbarian and Other Stories. Bedloe Mendum. London, New York: F. Tennyson Neely, Publisher, [1899]. First edition. Published in paper wrappers as “Neely’s Booklet Library,” number 5, January 30, 1899, and in cloth, this being one of the latter. A collection of short fiction: the title story, a novelette, and eleven short satirical stories, all marked by a bleak outlook and a staccato, aphoristic style. The title story is a dystopian look at America (“Vulgaria”) through the eyes of a learned Chinese visitor. -- source link
