£600 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Spine faded, and binding cracked between gatherings G and H, but otherwise nearly fine, very sharp and bright. This is the primary binding and we have two leaves of ads at end for other books by Wills, followed by four leaves of general publisher’s ads. Sloan, p. 54, discusses Davidson’s role in this book (“He seems, from the internal evidence, to have written much of Was He Justified? (1891), a 5-shilling shocker about a husband’s jealousy and a woman with a past which anticipates the frank treatment of sexual themes in the new fiction of the 1890s“).

• Year: 1891
