Description

Complete in three volumes, Fox's second novel was, like his first, originally published anonymously and is now exceptionally hard to find. This first edition set has had its bindings carefully repaired and re-sewn using the original boards and spine strips to present a very appealing used appearance, with the strength of a fully rebound set. Internally, there is some foxing early and late in each volume, but otherwise only very occasionally, with stock lightly toned and generally clean and bright. Half titles and titles present in each volume. No inscriptions. New endpapers. Original marbled paper-covered boards with half red leather, all worn to edges, but none the less attractive for that. 12mo. i.290pp; ii.234pp; iii.263pp
