Item description from seller

Publishers green cloth, spine and cover titles in gilt, cover decorations in black & gilt, rear cover with publishers monogram in blind. Endpapers browned, ink name to front fixed endpaper, light wear to lower cloth edges, VERY GOOD. "A gruesome, but, on the whole, well-constructed and powerful story of an unfortunate Anglo-Indian girl who, thanks to a peculiar ring, is under a curse, which she tragically " fulfils " by murdering her husband immediately after marriage. The interest of the reader is absorbed by a protracted combat between Captain Arthur Tyndall, a gallant officer and skillful detective, and the two leaders of a Thug conspiracy he is engaged in unearthing. Hi is aided by a rather melodramatic dwarf, who is in the long run crunched up by an alligator; and the scene in which, disguised as a merchant, he surprises and defeats the Thugs, while all the time he seems to be completely entrapped by them, is sketched with very great skill. " THE SPECTATOR - 4 DECEMBER 1897.
