About This Item
Fleet Lane, Farringdon Street, London: John Ouseley, Ltd, 1910. Not dated. Illustrated with line drawings in the text, small octavo, pp xvi, 236, rather age-toned, the rear hinge very slightly cracked, blue decorated cloth very slightly worn, the spine a little faded. RARE. Almost certainly the scarcest of this author's works. [The Lindley Library dates this as 1910. Not in Freeman, though perhaps too late ? COPAC lists only six copies, and WorldCat no others. Not in RBG Kew Library.]. First Edition. Cloth. Good.
