About This Item
San Francisco: San Francisco News Company, 1877. 1st ed. Hardcover. Good. 132p. Original violet or mauve cloth. 16 cm. Cover somewhat worn and quite faded, especially around edges and on backstrip. INSCRIBED at top of title-page ("To T. H. Phillips, with compliments of the authoress"). Ambrose Bierce was thought by some to have been the author of this defense of the waltz and dancing. We have no answer to that important question but feel sure that this inscription in this book is not in Bierce's hand.
