READE, Charles. A Hero and A Martyr. A True and Accurate Account of the Heroic Feats and Sad Calamity of James Lambert.
London: Samuel French, 1874. First edition. Tall 8vo., orig. light orange wrappers, (8), 40pp. With a frontispiece. Some very minor foxing on the upper edge of the first few leaves, upper corners of some leaves folded over, there is a 1cm. chip out at the top of the spine and a nick at the foot of the spine, there is some soiling and a bit of foxing around the perimeter of the upper wrapper but this is still a near fine copy of a delicate and rare Reade title.
This is a rare Reade title. Other than the copy noted by Sadlier, which we assume is at UCLA, we were only able to locate four other copies; Harvard (in wrappers), Princeton (Parrish collection--a presentation copy in wrappers), University of Minnesota (binding not described) and the British Library (binding not described). NUC lists the Harvard and Minnesota copies, while COPAC notes the copy in the British Library. This title is not in Wolff and it has not appeared at auction in records we checked, 1941-present.
Sadleir 2077, Parrish pp.249-250.
