A propos de cet article

8vo; 264, 8 (ads) pages; Former owner's name and brief inscription in pencil "Mrs. McKee" "Simeon Ray / from his aunt / Eliza," otherwise contents clean and secure in original dark green cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine and facsimile autograph of Dickens in gilt at front board.
