The initials R.L. stand for Robert Louis, as in Robert Louis Stevenson – the author of such classics as Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. According to book data we found online, “This volume contains all of Stevenson’s more or less autobiographical writings not contained in Memories and Portraits, many of them not published, and some not completed, by the time of his death. Geez, like some others we’ve found, perhaps we should have spent a few more minutes appreciating this book when we had it in our hands.

MBF,
Missed your post earlier. You make an interesting observation. Just yet another way in which no other form can live up to real, actual books.
