Half leather binding with Morrocco spine and corners, marbled boards and edges of the text block, and red leather spine label. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition.

Illustrated throughout with 20 black and white plates by Hablot K. Browne (otherwise known as Phiz - most famous for his illustrations of Charles Dickens' works). "Albert Richard Smith (24 May 1816 23 May 1860) was an English author, entertainer, and mountaineer." "In 1842 Smith's first play, Blanche Heriot, or The Chertsey Curfew, based on a legend from his home town, was produced at the Surrey Theatre. In 1843 he published The Wassail-Bowl: A Comic Christmas Sketchbook, which included a short story on the same subject as his play of the year before, "Blanche Heriot: A Legend of Old Chertsey Church". He also wrote a series of so-called natural histories: The Gent (1847) , The Ballet Girl (1847) , 'Stuck-Up' People (1847) , The Idler upon Town (1848) and The Flirt (1848). Smith wrote several extravaganzas for the Lyceum Theatre, including Aladdin (1844) , Valentine and Orson (1844) and Whittington and His Cat (1845) , and adapted for the same theatre Charles Dickens's The Cricket on the Hearth (1845) and The Battle of Life (1846). With Angus Bethune Reach he founded and edited a monthly magazine called The Man in the Moon, which ran from January 1847 to June 1849." (from Wikipedia).
