A lovely leather bound copy of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 'Ernest Maltravers', the first major European novel to be translated into Japanese under the tile 'Karyu shunwa' in 1879. Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a renowned and incredibly popular English writer, commonly remembered for coining the phrases "the great unwashed", "pursuit of the almighty dollar", and "the pen is mightier than the sword". This copy is undated, dated using Copac. A 'New Edition'. This copy contains 'The First Part of Ernest Maltravers'. In a half crushed morocco binding with marbled boards, endpapers, and textblock. Externally slightly rubbed to extremities and head and tail of spine. Slight fading to spine and marking. Rear hinge strained to rear endpaper. Internally firmly bound. Pages age toned but bright and clean, with just the odd light spot to the occasional page. Very Good Indeed
