[Ads-l] Rafferty's rules antedated to 1911

[Stephen Goranson]

Another earlier publication that might could be of interest: 
Paudeen O’Rafferty on the Landlord’s Ten Commandments Dedicated to Exterminators and Rack-Renters as also to the People who Work: Creed of the right Hon: Lord Clan Rackrent, Earl of Idleness and Viscount Absentee (1880). [A parody by Michael Davitt 1846-1906; a booklet noted in at least one Australian newspaper.]

Collier's published a story called "Rafferty's Rule" in January 1908.
Stephen may already have seen this citation.

I haven't read the tale and do not know if it was connected to the
emergence of the term "Rafferty's Rules", but future researchers might
appreciate this pointer.

Date: 1908 January 4
Periodical: Collier's
Story: Rafferty's Rule
