"THE LOST HEIR" ("A Tale of Intrigue in India and England") by G.A. Henty. Undated, though presumed to be the 1st American edition published in 1899 by New Amsterdam Book Company in New York (later editions - such as the one published in 1900 - state the year of publication on the title page). The book features a few full-page illustrated plates by Ernest Prater. From a review: "While hunting in India, General Mathieson escaped certain death when a courageous young man, John Simcoe, disrupt a tiger attack. Believed to have perished on a ship lost at sea some time later, the general is surprised and much pleased When Simcoe reappears in England twenty years later. However, Mathieson's niece Hilda Covington suspects that Simcoe may not be the man he claims to be. When the general's will is changed shortly before his suspicious death and the rightful heir, young master Walter is kidnapped, Hilda and her good friend Netta make it their mission unravel the mystery of John Simcoe. Can Mathieson's Hilda and Netta find out the truth about John Simcoe? Will they find Walter before it is too late?" Condition: Clean covers and spine. Tiny cloth tears at the top and bottom edges of the spine. There are cracks at the front and rear hinges between the end papers and pastedown resulting in the covers being a bit shaky. A thin, 1" strip of paper has torn away at the left edge of the front pastedown. There are initials written in red ink on the title page, and initials written in pencil on the front pastedown. Consistent mild foxing to the pages, though heavier on the title page & half title page, the contents pages, and the first few and last few pages of the story. Overall the book is in Good condition.…
