About This Item
London: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, 1886. 12mo. Blind stamped midnight blue cloth boards. Gold stamped spine. 243 pp. including index. Former owner's name on free front endpaper. Both hinges a little tender but not loose. Text block solid. Overall a very good copy, near fine.. With twelve illustrations. Our subject naturally divides itself into two very obvious sections - the one dealing with wholly untrue and impossible creatures of the fancy, the other with the strange beliefs and fancies that have clustered round the real creatures we see around us. It will readily be discovered that we have confined ourselves in the present volume almost entirely to the first of these sections. Should our present labours prove acceptable they may readily be followed by a companion volume, at least as entertaining, dealing with the second section of our subject.
