Beschreibung
James Greenwood's pen-name was the "Amateur Casual". The seven curses he writes of were: Neglected Children, Professional Thieves, Professional Beggars, Fallen Women, The Curse of Drunkenness, Betting Gamblers, and Waste of Charity. Undated, but clearly second half of 19th century. Portrait of author as frontispiece. Original bevelled, brown cloth-covered boards. Pagination viii, 461, [1], the last, unnumbered page being publisher's advertisements, in which an 'Important Book on London Asylums' etc is described as being in preparation. Physical details thus suggest 1869 publication, ie first edition. Condition: Spine strip is detached and much is missing. The hinges are strained across the front free end paper and paste down. However the text block is sound. There are pencil notes to the front free end paper, the previous owner's pencil signature to the title page and short pencil notes in the margins.

Mehr InformationCOVID-19 UPDATE:
as Post Offices return to normal hours we can once again offer Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day as our Expedited Shipping option. We will continue to use a 3-day courier service for standard domestic deliveries. There continue to be delivery delays to countries outside the UK. Please bear this in mind when ordering; if you are in a hurry for your order PLEASE LET US KNOW so that we can discuss options.
Standard shipping terms:
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 1 Kg (2.24 lb). Books weighing between 1 and 2 kg can be sent within UK via courier or Standard Parcels at the standard postage rates. If your book order is heavy (more than 2 kg for UK customers, more than 1 kg for customers outside the UK), I may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. NOTE that I charge the same shipping cost to all EU countries, but the ABE system makes this rather difficult to set up; if you are ordering from an EU country not on the shipping costs list and so are charged the general International postage rate, I will refund the difference when processing your order.
