Item description from seller

First edition in the scarce jacket of this title, an early literary collection featuring notable Scottish murder trials such as the baby-farmer and child-murderer, Jessie King. Roughead (1870-1952) was a pioneer in the genre which became known as True Crime. Hardcover in dust illustrated dust jacket. Frontis, plates and facsimiles throughout. Red cloth boards show a few smudges and light shelf wear. Lengthy gift inscription dated 1946 on verso of frontis. Jacket witha couple tears to bottom edge of front panel, light use at spine ends and corners, and darkening to rear white panel. Very good.
