First edition, first printing. Publisher's original white paper covers, printed in black. Publisher's adverts front and rear. A very good copy, the binding rubbed and nicked at the folds with small chips at the spine tips and corners. The contents with the occasional finger mark are otherwise clean throughout and without previou…s owner's inscriptions or stamps. An excellent example, entirely unsophisticated and rare thus. A collection of 11 stories of crime and detection, later reprinted and expanded in various forms. This was one of the last titles published under The Hansom Cab Publishing Company imprint, created by the businessman Frederick Trischler after securing the copyright to the Fergus Hume's bestselling mystery novel of the same name. He continued to publish under the name Trischler & Company. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Zustand: very good. London, March 9, 1898. 31x25cm publisher's printed wrapper; 20pp; illustrations in half-tone and line. Minor signs of use; rather good. All published it seems and rare.Worldcat finds one entry for this one issue and I can't add to that. I would have thought the 1890s was a fine time to start a detective magaz…ine but I suspect a deeper purse than The Modern Detective displays was necessary. Even prizes for a new design of handcuffs and for the solution to the theft of Lady Lackington's jewels could not spur sales enough to justify a second number. Not even the appearance of The Misadventures of Sheerluck Gnomes by a T.P. Stafford. Inspector Moser (late of Scotland Yard) published a book or two of ostensible real life stories from his time at the yard a few years earlier and an article on handcuffs in the Strand in 1894 but vanishes into the shadowland of literary hacks after this. He seems destined to be remembered as the unpleasant private detective who unwillingly gave his name to woman detective Antonia Moser after their rupture.
