Sobre este artículo
Montreal: The Montreal News Co., Ltd., 1897. This is the first authorised and revised edition of a novel, previously published 20 years earlier in the United States in a pirated form due to lax copyright laws of that period, as explained in the author's own prefatory note. This revised edition was also legally published in the United States by L.C. Page & Company. This historical novel, set in old Quebec, offers the reader the type of romance, adventure, and political intrigue popularized by Alexandre Dumas. The book includes eight black-and-white full-page illustrations, including a frontis. The book is bound in a deep blue-green cloth with a gilt and red vignette illustration on the front panel as well as reddish-orange titles on the front panel and spine.

The book measures 5 1/4 by 7 5/8 inches and includes 624 pages. . First Canadian Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good+/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
