About This Item

London: Griffin, Bohn, and Company 1862. Small 4to. First Edition. xii, 634 pp. Recent half brown speckled calf over marbled boards, with raised bands, maroon title label, gilt-stamped devices and lettering to spine. In fine condition externally, as new - one or two spots to prelims but generally internally clean. A few tears that have been repaired within, and it is an ex-library copy, so a few faint traces of stamps here or there. Fold-out frontispiece print. Numerous in-text and full-page illustrations, depicting prisons, prisoners, London, etc. Lots of facts and figures as well. Volume Three in Mayhew's 'Great Metropolis' set, but complete in itself. A very interesting book. . Very Good. Half Calf. First Edition. 1862.
