by [Peacock, Thomas Love]
London: T. Hookham, 1831. First Edition. About very good with edges worn, modern rebacking, occasional minor foxing and soiling in a custom cloth clamshell box.. First edition in the scarce publisher's blue-grey drab boards.
A satirical gothic novel wherein, as with his earlier novel Headlong Hall, Peacock assembles an eccentric cast of characters whose banter and obsessions satirize Regency society. This work includes a character which unlike other works, is largely based on Peacock himself.
8vo. [10-page publisher's catalogue (lacking first leaf)], [ad leaf], [6], 300pp. Page 154 misnumbered 54. Carter, Binding Variants, pg. 146 (truncated)
