The Chaplain of the Fleet
Walter & James Rice Besant
Gradener & Richter, Hamburg · 1881
First Edition. Very scarce early edition [contemporary with the UK first] of this collaborative novel. Volumes 171/2 in Asher's Collection of English Authors, 330 + 340pp, 2 vols. bound as one in contemporary full cloth with gilt lettered leather spine label, all edges marbled.
Trivial water spotting to cloth but a beautifully clean, tight and sound copy of this rather uncommon work.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
