Description:
New York: George H. Doran Company, 1925. Good plus with toned vellum-like paper spine with leather spine label over paper covered boards, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed, stain to fore edge, pages browned from age and paper quality, professional repairs to spine and hinges. Nevertheless, a respectable copy of a noted rarity.. Limited edition #79 of 105 copies, signed by the author (who is most famous for the children's classic, The Velveteen Rabbit).

With 7 tissue-guarded tipped-in plates by Rackham. 4to. xiv, 15-175pp., [1]. Latimore & Haskell, pgs. 59-60.

Description:
London: William Tweedie, 1857. Very good in publisher's blind stamped, gilt title at spine, clean and unmarked text, with minor rubbing to the boards, a bit of wear at the spine-bottom, and a bit of soiling to the endpapers.. First edition. An expose on the underworld of Victorian London. "It will certainly astonish the reader to find what innumerable sins are committed daily and nightly [in London]." The Observer, Sunday, May 30, 1869. However, as later scholarship notes, "annals of the slums . . . were social reportage that was meant to supply unpleasant facts to those unlikely to obtain them for themselves. . . [and were] often a thin camouflage for other things, like the accelerating alarm felt at the approach of dangers such as spiritual and moral destitution." Dyos, The Slums of Victorian London, Victorian Studies Vol. 11, No. 1 (Sep. 1967), pgs. 13-14. 8vo. [4], 236pp., iv.
