London, Ward, Lock & Co., 1901. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy, in the decorated boards (presumably issued without jacket). Inscribed by the author to his daughter. A lovely association. "A stock exchange romance, revolving around a scam on an over-valued gold mine, which goes into much technical detail on the share trading shenanigans, with right eventually prevailing, resulting in fortune and two marriages." [description from Jonathan Frost, copied verbatim and used without permission and without a care]. A little rubbing and bumping to the spine but a nice copy overall. A little toning and spotting to the prelims. [11238, Hyraxia Books].
