The Watchmaker.

DUMAS, Alexandre. The Watchmaker. George Routledge & Sons. [1873]
E.ps replaced. Contemp. half black sheep; a little rubbed. Contemp. ownership details in black ink of C.M. Wilkins.

¶This was probably not by Dumas. We can locate no early French or Belgian edition of L'Horloger. The first edition in English was published under the title The Devil's Wedding Ring, or, The adventures of a watchmaker, translated by E. Plunkett, New York, 1844. The first English edition was 1858 (David Bogue), the same as American translation. First Routledge edition, 1873, again Plunkett's translation. Topp, vol. I, p.231. Listed in the BL under 'Doubtful and Supposititious Works'. Uniformly bound with several other Dumas titles, with '4' stamped in gilt on spine.
