Product Description

First edition, first state with all of the correct points (including '11' absent from the publisher's imprint, a pre-publication advertisement for Andrew Lang's 'Prince Prigio' occupying the rear pastedown, and 37 titles in Arrowsmith's Bristol Library series).
8vo.
315pp + [iii] publisher's advertisements, and further adverts to the front and rear pastedowns.
Original publisher's cloth, lettered in gold at the spine and in black at the upper board with a black-stamped border and a single small decoration.
The plain front free endpaper absent and the front hinge just a little tender.
The binding just a fraction cocked, the spine ends a little bruised and with some light soiling to the cloth.
Binding a little tender at several gatherings.
Former owner name inked to the head of the title page, and an embossed W.
H.
Smith's stamp to the head of one of the rear advertisement leaves.
A very good copy of the author's seminal fact-based comic novel detailing a Thames boat trip from Kingston to Oxford and back (the dog, Montmorency, who provides much of the comic exploits, is one of the few wholly fictitious elements of the narrative).
