The fourth edition in The Chap’s very first quarterly cycle celebrated the life and work of Frederick Rolfe, AKA Baron Corvo, a defrocked Catholic priest, scholar and libertine who captured the ethos of the burgeoning magazine. Other features included a Philosophy of Wooing by Angur Masonick, Squaerobics by Howard Spent, The Singular Adventures of Cecil de Cashmere, The Do’s and Dont’s of Gardening, Hangin’ Toff – an investigation into gentlemanly self-defence, and letters from readers, which by then were becoming more refined as the publication found its peculiar audience. This is a brand-new, unread copy from the Chap’s own archive.
