About this Item

From the author's Prefatory: "Suggested by one friend and selected and compiled by another, this volume is less a book than a mosaic of scraps and shreds recovered from the shot rubbish of some fourteen years of journalism." 40 essays on the style and works of Dickens, Thackeray, Dumas, Byron, Hugo, Arnold, Homer, Sidney, Berlioz, Eliot, Balzac, Longfellow, Tennyson, Labiche, Banville, Hake, Tolstoi, Congreve, Fielding and many other famous and less-renowned writers. Green cloth binding with gold gilt lettering on the front cover and spine. 235 pages followed by 4 pages of advertisements for three other books in this series entitled: Letters to Dead Authors, Obiter Dicta-First Series, and Obiter Dicta-Second Series. *NOTE Scuffing to top and bottom of spine binding,: Obiter Dicta-Second Series page has a fold and 1 3/4" closed tear on fold at top corner (but all present) and a small piece of following endpaper page ripped out, elsewise a very good, clean, tight copy! GB2.
