*c5177 Hume, Fergus (Author of The Lone Inn – The Mystery of Landy Court, Etc.)

The Mystery Of A Hansom Cab

Novel. (London, Warwick Lane, E.C.: Jarrold and Sons: 377th Thousand). This book carries numbered lists of The ‘Greenback’ Series of Popular 3/6 Novels by Authors of the Day, in which series the 391st Thousand of ‘The Mystery of a Hansom Cab’ appears as No. 72. According to Miller and Macartney this edition first appeared in 1896 as a revised edition, with a preface which gives Hume’s account of the novel, and that interesting Preface is indeed present here, though this printing may have appeared about 1900, as the novels published by Jarrolds listed opposite the half-title page include ‘A Woman’s Burden’ (1900). Decorated green cloth lettered in gilt (that is, hard covers) pp. 322 and 14 publisher’s advertisements. The external hinges and edges and corners of the boards are worn, so that the book verges on the shabby externally; tapestains at a few inner margins and other signs of age and use internally; lacks about the lower third of the half-title leaf; a few Institute stamps, and a cancellation; offered as a good serviceable copy.
