Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Adah Isaacs Menken - the world's delight, as Swinburne described her - was one of the most remarkable beauties of the 'sixties.

She was well-known as a dancer, circus rider, actress, and male impersonator; she was notorious as having had four husbands; she was conspicuous in the world of letters partly by her association with various prominent English and French writers and partly by her volume of poems, entitled Infelicia, which she was permitted to dedicate to Charles Dickens.<br><br>I desire to thank Mr. George R. Sims, and a friend in New York, Mr. H. J. Ketcham, for generous help in the preparation of this sketch of her romantic career.
