London, T. Fisher Unwin, 1885. First Edition. Paperback. A fair copy only. An important publication, not just for the first publication of Stevenson's Markheim (which was written for Pall Mall a year prior) but also the classic work The Upper Berth, by F. Marion Crawford - a staple of horror anthologies ever since. Contains seven short pieces loosely connected bia a framing narrative. Noted as 'Tenth Thousand', though I suspect this isn't a reprint, rather an initial run of 10,000. Essentially disbound, but holding in places. Upper wrapper detached, lower wrapper absent, first leave detached. Internally bright, upper cover and some page edges chipped and worn. [11628, Hyraxia Books].
