COCKTON, Henry. The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist. (With sixty illus. by T. Onwhyn.) George Routledge. (Printed by R. Willoughby.) 1846
Front., additional engr. titlepage, plates sl. foxed at edges with some offsetting. Early half blue calf; a little rubbed, red label. A good copy.

¶First published in 1840. The publishing history of this popular work is complicated. Here the engraved title which also carries Routledge's imprint is dated 1844. The edition was not published in parts. Cockton's chapters on the abuses of private madhouses almost certainly influenced 'The String of Pearls'.
