About This Item
434+[5 ad] pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover, cover with blind stamped ruled edges. First edition.
Arthur Train was a Harvard-educated and well-respected attorney. He was also a best-selling author. Train's greatest literary creation was the character Ephraim Tutt, a public-spirited attorney and champion of justice. Guided by compassion and a strong moral compass, Ephraim Tutt commanded a loyal following among general readers and lawyers alike—in fact, Tutt's fictitious cases were so well-known that attorneys, judges, and law faculty cited them in courtrooms and legal texts. People read Tutt's legal adventures for more than twenty years, all the while believing their beloved protagonist was merely a character and that Train's stories were works of fiction.
Condition:
Corners gently bumped, some light stains to page ends offset darkening to front end papers, many pages still unopened, head corners gently bumped else a very good to fine copy lacking the jacket.
