New Edition 1902. Very uncommon softback edition of his sensation thriller that first appeared in 1886. The hero is struck blind by the disdainful glance of the glorious Basilisk - Miss Beaufoy - but he regains his sight in time to survive, to thwart, her evil plans. The softback book is good and quite bright. Spine creased and light repair. Edges rubbed in places. Contents good but pages age toned. Stamp to title page.
