Beschreibung

A grisly, thorough, and fully illustrated historical study on suicide. Discusses origins, statistics, causes, methods, and describes many odd or unusual cases thereof. The author, Arthur Trumble, wrote several sensationalist titles includingIn Jail with Charles Dickens, The Mysteries of Mormonism, Faro Exposed,Slang Dictionary of New York,and others. Exceedingly scarce. OCLC only identifies a microform copy, though likely there is one held at the Library of Congress. 23x15cm, 82pp. Frontis, illustrations. Three quarters morocco over marbled boards, recently rebacked. Frontis reattached by a conservator, some chipping to brittle page edges, mainly to preliminaries. Boards worn and rubbed along edges and at corners. A very good, sound copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6023
