Item description from seller

(iv), 194pp, 4pp ads. Orig. brown cloth, blocked in black, spine lettered in gilt; sl. rubbed. Not in Glover & Greene. Not in Hubin. Wolff records the 'first edition' published in late 1883 as part of Arrowsmith's Christmas Annual. The first 'book edition' was published in 1884. Copac records only Aberdeen and University of London having this edition. Sutherland comments: 'This sensational story of murder, amnesia, Siberian exile, political assassination and detection made a tremendous hit. It was translated all over Europe, a dramatized version ran for a year, and the novel sold over 350,000 copies in four years.' Hugh Conway was the pen name of Frederick John Fargus, 1847-1885, a novelist who also worked at times as an accountant and an auctioneer; he died of typhoid fever in Monte Carlo.
