Essays from the Chap-Book, 1897, published by Gay and Bird, Victorian Literary / Historical Articles Anthology Hardback

Essays from the Chap-Book, 1897, published by Gay and Bird, London. Hardback, 262 pages

'Being a Miscellany of Curious and Interesting Tales, Histories &c. newly composed by celebrated Writers and very delightful to read.'

This Victorian hardback is in fairly good condition - the covers have some discolouration. Inside the pages are unevenly bound which has caused some tattiness on the edges, including some tiny tears. Otherwise there is no writing, creasing or dog-ears.
