ASHES OF EMPIRE.
Chambers, Robert W.:
London & New York: Macmillan, 1898. Wine-red cloth, decorated in blind, lettered in gilt. A bit cocked, circulating library label shadow on upper board, endsheets foxed, a bit rubbed. Just a sound copy. First U.K. edition. With Thomas Hutchinson's manuscript booklabel, and an inserted 2 1/2pp. a.l.s. from Chambers, New York, 13 August 1900, on folded quarto lettersheet: a polite letter of thanks, delayed by eye-problems, and extending expressions of affinity and solidarity with the people of Britain.
