London, Thomas Holmes, nd [1848]. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A good copy. Illustrated edition of The Triumph of Woman, probably later. Science fiction novel of a new planet which appears in the solar system. An inhabitant visits Earth and describes a civilisation without women to his hosts, a Christmas gathering in Bavaria. Lacking a front endpaper, slight reading lean, some heavy rubbing to the upper board, spotting to the endpapers, bumping to the corners and tips. [11551, Hyraxia Books].
