Item description from seller

This is a First English Language Edition, originally published in French. This book is in Very Good- condition and was likely issued without a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean condition. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing. There is some fading to the spine of the book cover. The text pages are clean, but heavily toned and foxed. "Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Lafitte (2 June 1796 6 March 1879) was a 19th-century French playwright, novelist, journalist and comedian. A pensionnaire of the Comédie-Française, his plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of his time including the Théâtre du Vaudeville, the Théâtre français, the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique, and the Théâtre des Variétés. " (from Wikipedia) The novel starts with a mystery -- a murder -- and very early on brings in Dr. Franz Mesmer (of mesmerism fame) , and a romance. 1st English Language Edition; 1st Printing.
