About This Item
William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London, 1881. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 323 pages plus folded map (complete). A comfortable copy of Aylward's mischievous memoir. Aylward, a self-styled Fenian, was known, by all sides wherever he found himself, to be unscrupulous with his values and loyalties. Fond of rebellion and ill-discipline he even yet had an extraordinary adventurous life fleeing from assassination, experiencing imprisonment and insurrection, hoping to establish the occasional republic whilst also being pro-Boer in the midst of the Natal Colony's capital (he was editor of the Natal Witness). The boards have amiable wear about all corners, edges and seams. small neat repairs at the top of the spine. The boards are scuffed, rubbed and marked from handling and shelving. They are even yet sound and steady. The page edges have handling and shelving wear. The pages themselves are clean, clear, contented, convivial, certain, companionable, keen. fk(R*10.9.22).
