Desperate Remedies by Thomas Hardy, 1889, published by Ward and Downey, London. Hardback, 384 pages

This Victorian hardback is a true 2nd edition published 19 years after the first edition. Research suggests that the frontispiece mentioned was never put in the final book.

It is in fairly good condition:
- the cover has wear, rubbing, bumped corners and some small splits at the spine.
- there is a written pencil name on one of the front flysheets
- There are a couple of diagonal creases and page 319 has a missing part at the top corner.

19.5cm x 13cm x 3.5cm approx.
