Item description from seller

Poor externally; front cover detached; top third of rear external hinge cracked; tears and chips to top and bottom of spine; leather worn through at upper forecorners; rubbing/bumping/scuffs generally. Fine internally: pages are clean and bright throughout. Bound in full tree-marbled leather; gilt lettering and decorations; marbled endpapers, with all page edges marbled to match. First Edition. Inscribed by author on second free page: "In memory of the educational work, done by the late Rev. W.W.S. Escott, Trinity College Oxford, headmaster of King Henry VII's School, Coventry. This volume is given by its author, his brother, T.H.S. Escott, as a prize for the best answers to questions, set to test general intelligence and literary taste. Brighton, Midsummer 1901. T.H.S. Escott." Thomas Hay Sweet Escott (1844 - 1924) was an English journalist and editor. He was a lecturer at King's College London from 1865 to 1873, and editor of The Fortnightly Review from 1882 to 1886. During the last 35 years of his life Escott lived in semi-retirement in Brighton, in poor health. In 1895 he had partially recovered, and he wrote over 100 articles and a number of books before his death. Among Escott's close friends were Wilkie Collins and Charles Reade.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
