BENSON, Edward Frederic. The Rubicon. 2 vols. Vol. I FIRST EDITION, vol. II 3rd edn. Methuen. 1894
Half titles; some pages & signatures sitting slightly proud. Contemp. half black calf, spines ruled in gilt; wear to front foredge, vol. I, leading hinge cracked, vol. II. Bookseller stamp of M. & J. Henderson on leading pastedowns.
¶Not in Wolff; Copac lists 5 copies only. It has been suggested that some copies have slugged or cancelled title pages indicating later editions to give the impression of brisk sales. This is not the case in this copy, though it seems very likely that the first edition sheets were used in both volumes.
