8vo, pp. 126. Half-bound marble boards, half-title bound in, original front wrapper pasted to front pastedown. Printed in double columns. Spine label. 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'/Rich…ard 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. Scarce in this cheap and flimsily made edition.

Large 16mo, original pictorial wrappers, side stapled. First U.S. edition. "The Adventure Library," number 104. A mystery novel first published in England (by Ward, Lock) in 1897 as THE MYSTERY OF PHILIP BENNION'S DEATH. Besides a good deal of weird atmosphere, the story also contains a small whiff of genuine magic that is, howe…ver, essential to the plot. With its notion of murder-as-a-fine-art, the novel summons up a fin-de-siécle mood of decadence that strays from the author's more usual Victorian manner. Hubin, p. 554. Not in Bleiler (1948; 1978) or Reginald (1979; 1992) or Day, Supplemental Checklist of Fantastic Literature. The bottom corner of the rear cover is folded and improperly trimmed (the paper is present but overhangs the margins of the book). Dust soiling to covers, negligible chipping to spine ends, a very good copy of an uncommon book. The pulpy paper is browned but quite supple and in no danger of chipping. (#145524).

Illustrated with a tissue guarded frontispiece and three further full page black and white plates by John Wil…liamson. Single page of publisher's adverts at the rear. A very good copy, the binding firm with rubbing and bumping to the extremities, the cloth with a few minor marks and some fading to the slightly rolled spine.

An early supernatural mystery novel, first published in the same year as Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and, like 'Dracula', developing a vein of gothic terror first popularised by Ann Radcliffe's 'The Mysteries of Udolpho' and later by Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'.

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 provincia…l 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. A number of these detective stories starring Champnell were published both before and after Marsh's success with The Beetle, not only do these stories have a fascinating publication history, they also feature one of the first aristocratic private detectives in literary history, appearing some 20 years before Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey, meaning that they offer intriguing explorations of the class dynamics of Victorian police-work and criminality. Contains tissue-guarded frontispiece, (vii), 310 pp + 16 pp ads. Oval indigo stamp to the first story from Newcastle-on-Tyne Police Library, finger marks to the text block edges and in Very Good bright condition. Extremely scarce. Member of the P.B.F.A.
