About This Item
1913. First Edition. Hard Cover. (New York and London: D Appleton & Company 1913). First Edition. Likely Second State with the code (2) at the base of text on page 362. Publisher's salmon cloth gilt lettering to front board and spine and also blind-stamped to the front board. A 1.5 cm tear in the cloth at the head of the spine (which is also age-darkened) and soiling to the boards in places. Near VG. No D/W. Clairvoyant dreams, ghosts, murder, and intrigue abound in this short story collection. Dr. Stanchon might be a brilliant diagnostician, but the oddity of his cases more often involves the paranormal undercurrents of late nineteenth-century New York than curious illnesses. Whether he's counselling his patients to break free of their compulsions, keeping family secrets, or tending to his haunted house and its ill-fated tenants, Dr. Stanchon always seems to be in the middle of something mere science just can't explain! Uncommon.
