Measures: 1 (5.25 overall) W x 5 D x 7.25 H inches. Brief Biography: Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton was an English writer and politician. His literary works were highly popular; his novels earned him a fortune. His legacy perhaps is best known through some of the phrases he coined "the great unwashed", "pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword", and "dweller on the threshold". Then came a sharp decline in his reputation, so that he is known today for little more than the opening line "It was a dark and stormy night", the first seven words of his novel Paul Clifford (1830) (Wiki). CONDITION NOTES: Very good; light wear not commensurate with age and use (e.g. light sporadic wear at extremities, title pages lightly foxed), strong square spines/bindings and hinges, clean/light age-toned interior text pages. A nice set.…
