A Soldier's Daughter And Other Stories

London: Blackie & Son, 1906. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Original navy blue cloth, lettered in gilt with decoration in olive, peach, and black. Illustrated by Frances Ewan. The ads at the rear present an interesting challenge. Newbolt points out that Dartt says there are 32 pages of ads at the rear. Clearly Dartt just looked at the page number on the final leaf which does state 32. He missed the fact that the first page of ads is numbered 17, something that Newbolt noticed. The copy offered here begins with 17 and ends with 32, but when I counted them by hand I was off by four. This copy has two illustrated pages tipped in. These have no page number but are clearly intended to be there. Other than that this copy matches Newbolt, 111.1. A very clean, bright and pleasing copy. Some minor faint foxing to the title page.

Price: $140.00
