Sobre este artículo
New York: Cornish, Lamport & Co, 1853. First edition. Hardcover. Fair. First edition. 8vo. in red cloth. 238 pp. True tales of a "Detective Policeman" of London who "...is in some repects peculiar to England--one of the developments of the last twenty five years...the record of 'hair-breath 'scapes whcih follow is another verification of the old saying , 'Truth is stranger than fiction'". The binding, while tight with hinges fully intact, is well worn with the spine being chipped and lacking several pieces; covers soiled. The text has some occasional foxing and small stains. Remarkably scarce in first edition.
