About This Item
Allahabad: A H Wheeler & co, [1888]. True first Indian edition. 8vo, [vii], 104pp, vii. Original green-grey paper wrappers. The wrappers are detached (but present), the backstrip is lightly chipped, there is a tear to the first page of advertisements, and there are small chips to the leading edge of pp 19-24. Nonetheless the contents are in good to very good condition, and this is a good copy overall of a fragile book. The book is now housed in a red cloth and morocco case, with a red cloth chemise (wear to the top edge of the case). The true first edition, first issue, with "Mufid I am Press, Lahore" on the front wrapper (Martindell, pp27/28).
