Condition: very good. Philadelphia, Lippincott 1866. Octavo publishers patterned cloth. Some natural browning and some splodges; a rather good copy. First edition in English of this proper sensation novel. It begins with a "frantic and horrible" murder and impersonation in chapter one and picks up speed after that.

The marriage between the royal houses of England and Denmark of the last century is recalled with a new interest, in connection with the similar, but more auspicious event of our own times. The career of Struensee can hardly fail to suggest that of a minister equally despotic of the present day. Yet there is in reality less of resemblance than of contrast between the usurper of sovereign power in Denmark and the unscrupulous statesman who is now permitted by Prussia to encroach so largely upon the liberties of the people. The translator trusts, that in the attempt to render Le Docteur Rouge into good English, the spirit of the original has not been materially impaired. 350 pp. Englisch.
