After checking the text of _A Yankee in Meiji Japan, The Crusading Journalist Edward H. House_, by James L. Huffman (Rowman and Littlefield, 2003), I find that Twain's previously unpublished essay "Concerning the Scoundrel E. H. House" does not appear in total. There is only about a page and a half discussion and some quotations from the manuscript. The publisher's claim of the "50-page manuscript" being "introduced here for the first time" should not be misconstrued as "published here in total." The essay has, in fact, been discussed in previous publications. Barb
