About This Item
London: R Washbourne, 1884 Copy in illustrated cloth on boards with bright gilt titles on cover and spine. Attractive private library bookplate fixed to front paste down. Interesting newspaper account pasted to rear of contents page recounting a great fire in the Paternoster Row area of the City of London. This fire in 1884 destroyed thirty-five printing and publishing buildings, including the printers Pitmans, where stocks of this title were held and destroyed by the fire. Consequently this is one of the few copies that survived and surprisingly it is in excellent condition.
