About this Item

Three quarter modern spotted calf with raised bands on spine, gilt lettering and marbled boards. New endsheets and flyleafs. 264pp. + 6pp ads in back. Pages thumbed from reading and some small chipping to the page edges on the first pages. "Not Dead Yet" is a story of love and crime, told with that peculiar intensity of style which characterizes the author, and winding up, as all well regulated novels should, with the passing away of the "subtle, selfish, clever, false Rupert," and the happy marriage bells of" Kitty and Nat," of" Edward and Flo'." John Cordy Jeaffreson (1831-1901) was a non-practicing attorney, an inspector of documents for the Historical Manuscripts Commission, and an industrious author who produced triple-decker novels, biographies of such notables as Byron & Shelley, and the five works of anecdotal social history for which he is remembered. Unavailable elsewhere at any price. Great gift item. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
