Author's second novel is a Rashomon like tale of memory and betrayal. An uncommon first edition for the collector. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: A bibliographically complex author. I have prepared a brief summary of first appearances in print for anyone who is interested.

1776 third (final) edition. Book has condition issues. There is good news and bad news. Bad news first. Sometime in last 60 years this volume was bound in black buckram with end papers and title page removed. Title page is modern professional reproduction. Text block resewn too tightly causing plate 4 and page 244/45 to be partially cut at hinge. Pencil marks on half title of essay 1. Now the good news. All else complete; 6 plates; 296 pages; minor foxing; no other torn hinges. More good news: I am including modern paperback reprints (Ecco) of both the second and third editions, which I needed to verify which edition this is.

This is complicated so bear with me. This is a sammelband (collection) of four titles from the publisher Muir. Listed in order of binding: First title "Life of Thomas Paine" (1833) is not attributed but appears to be abridged Sherwin's biography of Paine (See OCLC: 933006301). Second title "Rights of Man" (1833) requires no explanation. Next two titles written by Peter MacKenzie are rare and make up most of the value. Third title "Exposure of the Spy System" is the 1832 first edition of this work. Includes frontis of Hardie's grave. The fourth (final) title "Trial of James Wilson" is the 1832 first edition. The whole thing paginates: 48, viii, 104, [2], 242, 48. Bound in high quality quarter leather with marbled boards fine binding by Starr Bookworks. Defects are: page 21/22 of "Rights" has a repaired hole affecting a few words (see scan); list of Paine's works has some check marks; title page of "Spy" has small edge tear not affecting anything.
