Condition: Very Good
Description: 1896 signed, inscribed 1st American edition. Fully inscription on FEP from the author in lovely handwritten script reads: "To Captain Isaiah W. Lees, Chief of Police of the City of San Francisco, From the Author, one who has treasured for many years a deep respect and affection for the man who has proved himself a good citizen and a master of his art. Richard Henry Savage, Major 2 MSV Engineers, West Point 1868. Public Schools of San Francisco 1852." Opposite this inscription, on front inside page it reads in the same script "The Hotel Gerard, 123 W. 44 St., N.Y. City, Oct 19/ 1898". Suggesting 1898 is the date of the inscription. Lees served as Chief of Police for San Francisco from 1854-1900 with distinction enough that his picture hangs in Scotland Yard, and started the Rogues Gallery with his own funds. Cover boards have light bumping at spine heel & toe, and a very few small age marks on front cover. Interior pages are clean and unmarked. Cond: VG.
