this thread again with the same replies, even the death grips joke
a violation of Condition A
a typo
Should be "he himself"
It's not a typo though as that construction appears several times throughout the book. It's in the hardcover I read and the version of Project Gutenberg as well.

That's strange-- well then I guess it's intentionally ungrammatical. And not just in a prescriptive sense. No native speaker of English would say it like this
Basically a reflexive pronoun can never be the subject of a clause
It is strange because it is by Somerset Maugham, a native english speaker. And it is an omniscient third-person narrator.

Christ I had one job. This is why I will never be a writer
fuck you for spreading that picture
OK well my best guess is this, but I might be wrong--
I think that in early modern English -self pronouns were not used as reflexive pronouns but were used instead for emphasis. So he's being intentionally archaic.
So in contemporary English (I'm including Somerset Maugham's time in that), reflexive pronouns cannot be the subject of an embedded clause. However, he is not using "himself" as a reflexive here, but instead he is using it in an archaic fashion as an emphatic form of "he"
what is that picture and why is it bad to spread it
See the paragraph on "reflexive pronouns" in the section "Pronouns and Determiners":
