presentation copy inscribed by the author

With the author's signed presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, 'To Capt. Harry Cleveland from his sincere friend Jeffery Farnol Ap. 4. 28'. A marvellous book of essays on famous bouts from the eighteenth century to the time of the book's poublication.

First edition, first impression, presentation copy inscribed by the author.; 8vo; illustrated; publisher's red cloth, titles to spine in black, with the dust jacket, some mild spotting to fore edge and contents. A very nice copy in the little chipped and frayed dust jacket.
