The article presents information about the book "In His Own Image," by Frederick Baron Corvo. A practicing sadist, like so many of his contemporaries, a leaning toward the Catholic church which arose, it would seem, partly from a desire to give himself the mysterious and slightly sinister odor which attaches to a Romanist in England, partly from a spiritual pride, which made him wish to claim a share in the rich traditions of that church and to be able to add an air of authority to his denunciations of mankind in general. He entered a seminary for priests, was promptly expelled, dabbled in painting and photography as well as in writing, called himself a baron and then died, neglected and indignant, in Venice.
