Even in business, then, and in all affairs in which men are most liable to be deluded by self-interest, and by the prevailing customs of the world, and thus are too frequently betrayed into transactions at variance with the spirit, if not with the letter, of the law of just and honorable dealing---' (Quote from chapter VII. Trials of Married Life paged 185-6) ***First impression of the true first edition, extremely hard to find in such nice, complete condition, especially in original elaborate gilt decorative full leather boards.
