About This Item
London: T.N. Foulis, 1919 Blue cloth; gilt spine lettering. Fourth printing; first published 1914. Illustrated with plates reproduced from pastel drawings by Baumer. Humorous novel by the Scottish author (1876-1952), dedicated to "the members of the most responsible, the least advertised, the worst paid, and the most richly rewarded profession in the world." Faint rubbing to cover extremities. The signatures in this volume were irregularly bound in so that the fore edges are not uniform--some leaves over-extend and are curled and sun-darkened, some are too short. Prior owner name, address neatly written at upper front end paper. Otherwise clean and tight.
