This is a very rare book. According to WorldCat there are no other copies in Ireland and only the National Library of Scotland and the British Library, St Pancras hold copies within the British Isles. It should Not be confused with a book of the same title by Freeman Wills Crofts (1879-1935), as this book was published Author Unknown in 1887 when Crofts was only 8 years of age.
