London, W.H. Thomson [but Privately Printed], nd [c1890]. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. An uncommon book, with nothing in the literature about it. Not in Bleiler, Locke or any other I can find. It seems to be a story revolving around lawyers, with the intro discussing the comparison of lawyers to Satan, and the origin of the term. The book has many a Dickensian character, in name at least, and seems to revolve around the legal arena, but one of the plates clearly portrays Satan, so I'm assuming the link is more than metaphorical. Plenty of plates throughout. One copy located at Cambridge, one in the states. Spine toned, binding a little shaken and the plates probably wouldn't take much persuading to come loose.
