London, Richard Bentley & Son, 1879. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A good copy. Three volumes bound as one, likely issued after the separate issues. Hawthorne helped shape the then nascent detective genre. Some wear to the cloth, with bumping to the corners, spine tips and edges; the tips in particular are pushed and softened. Spine toned. Fairly tight throughout, upper hinge starting, some splitting to the paper. A little spotting to the edges. [11789, Hyraxia Books].
