***'In the days when the spinning-wheels hummed busily in the farmhouses - and even the great ladies, clothed in silk and thread-lace, had their toy spinning-wheels of polished oak - there might be seen in districts far away among the lanes, or deep in the bosom of the hills, certain pallid undersized men, who, by the side of the brawny country-folk, looked like the remnants of a disinherited race. Black front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns. A very few light 'thumb' marks to margins. Extremities of boards slightly rubbed and marked. ***Very good in dark red cloth-covered boards, with blind decorative borders to front and rear boards, gilt titles to spine, and small circular gilt design to front board.
Illustrated with three black and white engravings including tissue-guarded title-page vignetter showing 'Raveloe Village'.
