by Aimard, Gustave

London: Ward and Lock, 1861.

First edition in English.

Duodecimo.

In three-quarter red leather--with rub-wear to the spine--over marbled boards, with previous damping that is shown with tiny ripples to the boards, bubbling/or small puckers to the end-sheets, and in pale staining to the upper page edges; hairline crack to the front inner hinge, still quite sturdy and usable.

A lovely vintage binding, contemporary with the book and fairly well-preserved for its age.

Middle volume in a trilogy by the "French Fenimore Cooper," that began with TIGER-SLAYER and concluded with INDIAN CHIEF.

This volume first appeared in Paris in 1860 as LA FIEVRE D'OR.

Translated here for the first time in English, and with a brief preface, by Lascelles Wraxall.

A rather scarce first edition.

8vo; 310 pages.
