In the June 1908 edition of The Bookman is ARs article 'Les plus jolis vers de l'annee' which includes the passage:
"A young man coming up from the provinces, with his rolls of poems in his pocket, finds it easy, like Chatterton in London, to get into converstion with the wits. He also finds it easy to starve; but he starves in good and plenteous company. He can put on his corduroys and black squashy hat and slouch along the boulevards of the less fashionable side of the river."
There are many signs of the later AR in these earlier works.
