Sobre este artículo
Sydney: "The Bulletin" Newspaper Company, 1892. First edition. Bound into a volume with two other works: The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins .... [Paltock] and The Two Admirals. A Tale. By J. Fenimore Cooper. The three works in one volume, dark green floral-textured cloth, spine lettered: Peter / Wilkins / Etc. Front cover nearly detached, ownership signature of 1899, some scattered foxing, very good. The Price Warung work is the third work in this bind-up, bound without wrappers or ads - it begins at the title page, and the final page, 193, bears an ad on the verso for a Great Hygienic Discovery. The first collection of Astley's convict tales, some of which were earlier printed in "The Bulletin". This book was issued as "Bulletin" Series, Number 2 (which would have been printed on the wrappers, not present here). Astley was a highly-regarded Australian short-story author. An uncommon book in the first edition.
