About This Item
Archon, 1979-01-01. Hardcover. New. 1979 reprint Archon Books (Hamden, Connecticut), 5 3/8 x 7 3/4 inches tall blue cloth hardbound, no dust jacket (as issued), gilt design to front cover and lettering to spine, xviii, 352 pp. A new copy of this facsimile reprint, still sealed in publisher's clear wrap. Slight soiling, only to clear plastic wrap. A reprint of the 1864 edition published by W.P. Nimmo (Edinburgh, Scotland). ~SP36~ James Glass Bertram (1824 - 1892) was a Scottish author. He was apprenticed to Tait's Edinburgh Magazine and became managing clerk, before joining a company of strolling players - the experiences from which no doubt form the basis for this volume. Bertram returned to Edinburgh and set up as a bookseller and newsagent. In 1855 he was appointed the editor of the North Briton and in 1872 of the Glasgow News, leaving to become a freelance journalist two years later.
