Beschreibung

London, Elliot Stock, 1877. Octavo, [iv], 187 pages. Original brown cloth lettered in gilt, and decorated in black, on the spine and front cover (and decorated in blind at the rear); cloth a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities; inner hinges neatly reinforced; endpapers and title page a little offset and foxed; Xmas 1886 'Ciphering Prize' presentation inscription on the front pastedown, and an early ownership signature on the title page; trifling signs of age and use; a very good copy. An 'evangelical novel . [which] gives a most favourable impression of Adelaide as a pleasant place in which to live. One need not linger over the religious and psychological crudities in the novel - cards, liquor, dancing, the theatre, all are condemned in the customary dogmatic but dramatically unconvincing manner' (Paul Depasquale: 'A Critical History of South Australian Literature, 1836-1930').
