About This Item
Charles Scribner's Sons, 1902. Reprint. Cloth. Very good/No Dust Jacket. Burns, M. J.. Very good green cloth hardcover (no dust jacket) shows mild soil and shelf wear to covers, bit of dulling to gilt letter at spine, light bit of soil to page edges and endpapers, else tight and clean with some other very light trace wear. 333 pages with four illustrated black & white plates including tissued frontispiece. Still a pleasing copy of this early reprinting of the engaging sea adventure set during the Napoleonic Wars.
