Materials Specific Details

Douglas has just returned home from Austria. He says that he will not sign any copies of [Some Limericks] at any price. He is delighted that the pirates are making money in America and criticizes D. H. Lawrence's exasperation with pirates, saying that he is a "liverish fellow." Douglas believes there is also a pirated edition on sale in Paris that was printed in Germany. He asks Sachs for the limericks of his friend, the chemistry professor.
