Leading f.e.p. removed. Orig. dark blue cloth, blocked in blind, spine lettered in gilt; boards rather severely affected by damp, but the text block largely undamaged.
¶Dedicated to Charles Dickens, 'as a very humble acknowledgment of many delightful hours, for which, in common with the public at large, I am indebted to your pen'. Marston had earlier produced The Patrician's Daughter, for which Dickens later provided, 'to help it materially', the celebrated prologue.
