Contents browned, portion of (later) spine label missing, but a well preserved copy. Rebound popular edition. First published by Methuen in 1902. The prolific 'Richard Marsh'/Richard Heldmann [1857-1915] wrote in a wide variety of genres, but is now best remembered for his weird and supernatural fiction -- he was the author of The Beetle (1897), a best-seller published the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula. His grandson was the modern master of weird fiction, Robert Aickman. The Twickenham Peerage is one of Marsh's more conventional tales: an impoverished aristocrat needs money to enable him to marry.

Zustand: Very Good. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original illustrated burgundy cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, cream, green and russet illustration to the front cover, publisher's device blind stamped to lower cover. 8vo. 8'' x 5¼''. Focuses on another series that first appeared in provincial local newspapers across England, including the Manchester Times, the Leeds Mercury, and the Newcastle Weekly Courant in the period 1895 to 1900. One of the novel's multiple narrators was the Honourable Augustus Champnell, whose detective adventures are examined here.

Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey, meaning that they offer intriguing explorations of the class dynamics of Victorian police-work and criminality.

First Edition. [Supernatural thriller] First impression of this edition (second printings are identified as such on c.p.). Apparently the first edition printed in America following Mansfield's earlier edition using British sheets. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.viii; 338; [6], ads. Bound in publisher's dark blue cloth pictorially blocked in colours, edges trimmed. Contents clean but for small brown stain to gutter of prelims, ink name to endpaper, dated ink initials to top edge, covers clean and bright. Near fine. A fresh copy of an early supernatural mystery novel. One of the best selling novels of the late nineteenth century: The Beetle remained in print for over 60 years, effortlessly outselling its now far better known competition, a certain Dracula, printed the same year, being amongst them. Subsequent literary endeavours by people like Boothby and Rohmer clearly owe a lot to Marsh's really rather high calibre tale of evil oriental interlopers with insidious powers and sinister intentions. Rare in this condition.…
