The Taint of the City

Charles Eddy
Edward Arnold, London · 1903

First Edition. Very scarce novel by the author of 'Winifred and the Stockbroker', an insider's wry take on dubious dealings in the London Stock Exchange a hundred years ago. Has anything changed.? Publisher's maroon cloth boldly lettered and ruled in black. 319pp text +32pp catalogue dated March1903.

Slight edge wear and trivial foxing to margins but a clean sound copy of a difficult title.

Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
