London: Stephen Swift, 1912. Hardcover. Very Good. First English edition, published in America as *The House of Bondage*. Sunning and modest wear to the spine ends, a near very good copy lacking the dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author to his uncle, Samuel Wright: "With love to Uncle, who read the proofs & saved them from the error of their ways, from Reginald Wright Kauffman, Sept., 1911." There are a few pencil corrections in the text, probably by Kauffman. This *Rideout* novel, published in the U.S. as *The House of Bondage* was widely praised, specifically by Emma Goldman, as the first serious attempt to explore the problem of women and prostitution. Kauffman was born and lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, although he also maintained homes in Switzerland and Bath, Maine. After graduating from Harvard in 1900, he wrote dozens of stories, mysteries, children's books, and non-fiction titles. He was the editor of the Bangor, Maine *Daily News* from 1941-1947.
