The Adventures of a Post Captain by a Naval Officer, 1904, published by Methuen and Co. London. Hardback, 214 pages

'This Issue, first published in 1904, is founded on the Edition published by J. Johnston in 1820'

'With characteristic engravings by Mr Williams'

This antique long-form poetry hardback is attributed to Alfred Thornton, with colour plates by W. Williams.
It is in fair condition - the spine sticker has started to flake. Inside there is foxing throughout, at times heavy, though still readable. Page 159 has a small part of its top corner missing. There are a couple of small dog-ears.

17.5cm x 11.5cm x 3cm approx.
