About This Item
Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Dillingham, 1880. First edition.. cat40a. Blue decorative cloth designed and lettered in black and gilt. Brown coated end papers. Ownership sticker on inner front cover, glue repair to inner front hinge, some wear to tips and spine extremities, a bright very good copy in general. Wright III: 2050. An owner's note in the front suggests that this novel concerns witchcraft, but a quick scan does not reveal any such content - it looks to be primarily a novel of historical adventure.
