First Edition. Very scarce true first edition of the classic example of mid-Victorian humour by the editor of Punch. Undated, but published in 1871. 300pp text + 4pp list at rear.
Described as Vol. X in the Handy-Volume Series. Original red cloth with fancy lettering and ruling in black, resembling aBaedeker.
Some water spotting to covers and some small beverage stains (doubtless tea) internally but a sound copy of a book that has not survived well. No other copies of this first edition online at time of listing.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
