About This Item
London: John Lane. 1917. Early reprint. With a gift inscription from William Hesketh Lever of the Lever Brothers to Domini Elliadi, the wife of Arthur Crosfield. Publisher's original green cloth with dark green titles to the spine and upper board. Green top edge. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities a little rubbed. The contents, with a closed tear to page 121, are otherwise clean throughout. With a gift inscription from William Hesketh Lever to Domini Elliadi in black ink on the front free endpaper. Elliadi's husband was Arthur Crosfield, a soap magnate who conspired to sell to the Lever Brothers (who later became Unilever), unbeknownst to his disapproving family. With the funds he received from selling his company, Crosfield bought Witanhurst, the largest home in London after Buckingham Palace. Provenance: from the library of Martin Stone.
