First edition. Hardback, bound in the original burgundy cloth with gilt titling to spine and gilt milestone to upper board. 19.5 × 12.5cm. 310pp. A novel from customs official Henry Atton who rote under the name George Bartram. A contemporary review describes it thus "a breezy picture of English life in the early years of the nineteenth century. The story is full of exciting incidents and stirring adventures, opening with a prize fight between an Englishman and a negro. Many characters typical to the period are introduced to the reader: a couple of country squires and their respective heirs, gamblers, card-sharpers, and other 'Corinthians', a smart Bow Street runner, a yeoman farmer, and a Cheapside shopkeeper. The incidents include a masqued ball at Vauxhall, a night at cards for high stakes, in which a remarkable game of whist is played, and an elopement. Kisses are plentiful, and blows are exchanged. In those days the press gang was a national institution, highwaymen were not extinct, smuggling was carried n all along the coast, and Gretna Green marriages were everyday occurrences." What more would you want. Condition: This copy is in strong readable condition, with a slight lean to the spine and some mottled fading to the boards' edges.…
