Description: Scarce first edition of John Galsworthy's second novel, released under pseudonym John Sinjohn, published in 1898 by Duckworth & Co., London.

Case is a full enclosure with fold-out pocket; has sustained some damage, including some mottling to cloth and partial tear and fraying to cloth along right edge of spine, but is intact and usable. Book itself bound in green buckram, features dent at bottom right corner of front board, partial fade to gilt on spine, some rubbing/color loss toward base of spine, apparently reconstructed front/rear hinges; rear board features some moderate staining and mottling. Binding solid, pages free of markings.
