2pp ads. Orig. cream & black pictorial wrappers, ads on front wrapper verso, recto & verso of rear wrapper; sl. worn & dulled & a little at edges, spine chipped at head & tail affecting some ad. text, some small old repairs to hinges. See Glover & Greene 278. One of the most popular detective novels of the nineteenth century, it was Hume's first foray into the genre after failing to gain ground as a playwright. The tale takes place in Victorian Melbourne on Australia's south-east coast and the city itself plays an important role in the novel. The plot unfolds after a body is found in a hansom cab in the early hours of the morning and a murder investigation uncovers unexpected secrets. The divide between the city's rich and poor is a key theme of the plot and challenges a common nineteenth-century trope that wealth and morality were inherently linked. Hume takes this further by having the big reveal of the novel not be the identity of the killer, but rather the secrets of a wealthy and influential family.…

A sensational novel . A startling and realistic story of Melbourne social life. London : The Hansom Cab Publishing Coy., 60 Ludgate Hill, [1887-1888]. "Two Hundredth Thousand" (t.p.). Small octavo (182 x 122 mm), original pictorial wrappers, the upper wrapper featuring an illustration of the hansom cab in a Melbourne street, lower wrapper with advertisement for Champagne de Lossy (Holden) Reims, inside wrappers with advertisements for Williams & Sons Whisky and Pulvermacher's Galvanic Establishment; pp [2 advertisements], [1-4], 5-230, [2 advertisements]; spine with small amount of paper loss at tail; small rust marks surrounding the exposed staples at gutter of first few leaves, a very good copy of a book difficult to find in collectable condition. Written and set in Melbourne, Hume's novel The Mystery of a hansom cab helped to create the genre of crime fiction. It has been hailed 'The most successful Detective Story of all time' (Everyman's Dictionary of Literary Biography, 1960). Of the original Melbourne edition (1886) only copies of the last (fourth) impression are readily obtainable on the market. The present copy is one of the "Two Hundredth Thousand", an example of the ninth of thirteen London impressions printed in 1887-1888 by The Hansom Cab Publishing Company. At this early stage the book was selling at the rate of around 25,000 copies per month. From the ADB: 'Fergusson Wright (Fergus) Hume (1859-1932), novelist, was born on 8 July 1859 in England, the second son of James Hume. The family migrated to New Zealand where the father helped to found Ashburn Hall in Dunedin. Fergus was educated at Otago Boys' High School, continued his literary and legal studies at the University of Otago and was articled to the attorney-general, Robert Stout. Soon after his admission to the Bar in 1885 Hume left for Melbourne where he became managing clerk for the solicitor, E. S. Raphael. With ambitions as a playwright, Hume decided to write a novel to attract the attention of theatre managers. On the advice of a leading Melbourne bookseller he chose the style of Emile Gaboriau, then popular in translations, and producedThe Mystery of a Hansom Cab, a 'crude but ingenious' tale in which he based his descriptions of low life on his knowledge of Little Bourke Street. Melbourne publishers 'refused even to look at the manuscript on the ground that no Colonial could write anything worth reading', so he determined to publish it himself and had 5000 copies printed by Kemp & Boyce in 1886. According to Hume this edition was sold out in three weeks and another was demanded. Some months later he sold his rights to a group of Australian speculators for £50. In London the great success of the Hansom Cab Publishing Co.'s edition in 1887 led to many more printings for which Hume received no further payment. Even his claim to authorship and original publication was publicly disputed, although he wrote a preface to a revised edition in 1896.'
