"The Mentor, Department of Fine Arts, Serial Number 172" appears above title at head of article, yet it is catalogued as volume 6, issue 24, Feb 1, 1919, and paginated 1-11, with inset double pages of "gravures" of sculpture with a page of notes on categories such as "Decorative and Monumental Sculpture" or "Equestrian Monuments and Animal Sculpture."

Henry Thomas is identified as "Author of "The Story of the Human Race" and "Weavers of Words," etc." The chapter titles are: 1. The Devil's Mistress; 2. A Pirate in Petticoats; 3. She Danced Into a Royal Bed; 4. The Sorceress of the Nile; 5. The White Devil of the Black Hills; 6. The Siren of the Black Forests; 7. The Purring Tigress; 8. The Playgirl of the Nineteenth Century; 9. The Priestess of Pleasure; 10. The Delicious Daredevil. A label on a rebound copy loaned by Washington State University Pullman has "Schnittkind. Wild Women of History," which leads to the probability that Henry Thomas Schnittkind, who is on record as publishing under the pseudonym Henry Thomas, wrote this collection as well as Life Stories of the Great Inventors and Forty Famous Composers (both listed in 1948) among other works co-authored with Dana Lee Thomas [Schnittkind]. Some twenty pages (unpaginated) of advertisements follow page 76: a wonderful array of self-education and liberal opinion (in favor of birth control), including a novel by E. and M. Haldeman-Julius, Dust, Joseph McCabe's eight volumes The Key to Love and Sex, the works of Clarence Darrow, etc.

NOT:=male-female collective biography. Keddie a.k.a. Tytler [pseud] was a novelist who wrote a biography of Victoria; Marie Antoinette; volumes on Modern Painters, Musical Composers, Old Masters, etc. The Googlebooks version of this book offers lengthy running headers for each chapter, advertising events in the life of The Countess of Huntington and events relevant to the religious movements with which she was involved. The frontispiece features a photogravure of the Countess, and the book features illustrations throughout, though they most commonly depict men and places of significance to religious history (portraits of George Whitefield and John Wesley, for example). The first chapter opens: "The acts of John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield and their fellows, have been fully commemorated; but the woman who worked along with them from youth to age, who gave her time, her influence, her substance, and the remarkable organising and ruling power which rendered her the English Deborah of her church and generation has been less fortunate in her biographers." The book concludes with "Pitman's Spring Announcements," advertising forthcoming publications from the publisher as well as two pages of advertisements for the author's recently published works.
