Links With The Past

Vivid recollections of 19th-century naval life, her childhood, and English country living from Mrs Bagot, aka Sophia Louisa Percy. Spotting to edge of block only occasionally intruding onto pages which are otherwise in general good, clean and bright order. Frontispiece portrait lightly foxed, moreso to tissue guard. Former owner's signature, dated August 1902, to fep and repeated in pencil to title page. Two bookplates to toned front endpapers. Front endpapers split to lower part of binding. Red boards bumped, worn to edges, marked to rear and a little faded to spine, with bright gilt titling. More commonly available in later edition and modern reprints, but hard to find as a first printing thus. 8vo. xii, 322pp + publisher's list to rear, foxed.
