A SET OF SIX.
London: Methuen, (1908). First edition. Includes "Gaspar Ruiz," "The Informer," "The Brute," "An Anarchist," "The Duel," and "Il Conde." Half-title and title pages cancels, as usually seen (only a few copies of the first state with half-title page integral believed to be extant). The earlier, domestic issue in dark blue cloth with spine lettered in gold and front cover printed in dark red. Publisher's 40-page catalog at rear dated "August 1908." Copies also noted with publisher's catalogs dated February and June. But, as the book was published August 1908, we assume the variously dated advertisements were all available to the binder at that time, making it difficult to determine priority. [Cagle A13(2)]. Scant evidence of item previously affixed to front endpaper otherwise very good or better with 2 small rubbed spots to cloth (base of spine and bottom front corner).
