About This Item
London, Paris & Melbourne: Cassell & Co, 1892. First edition, 12mo, pp. viii, 322, [2], [16] ads; original green cloth, spine gilt-lettered; previous owner's inscription dated August 20, 1892, but overall a very good copy. Beinecke 566.
Synopsis
An affair which might be deemed worthy of a note of a few lines in any general history has been here expanded to the size of a volume or large pamphlet. The smallness of the scale, and the singularity of the manners and events and many of the characters, considered, it is hoped that, in spite of its outlandish subject, the sketch may find readers. It has been a task of difficulty. Speed was essential, or it might come too late to be of any service to a distracted country.
