London, Ward and Lock, n.d. [1857]. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. Uncommon. One of Russell's detective works (he published detective fiction under the name Waters), seemingly less common than the earlier Quorum title Recollections of a Detective Police Officer (we can find no sales). Rebound, probably relatively recently, in half calf. Block a little toned, but internally very nice overall. [9511, Hyraxia Books].
