Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prince Dorus
Bably to a couple or three, m fact I can vouch for only one perfect copy - that in my own collection. A Prince Dorus amongst Mr. Mackenzie's books sold at Sotheby's in March this year (1889) was knocked down to a leading London book seller for g 45. It was purchased deliberately with a View to resale at a profit. Curious to learn whether there were any differences between Mr. Mackenzie's copy and my own, I examined them together, and after glancing at the title page I said, This is not the 'prince Dorus' you bought at the Mackenzie sale? You are shewing me a copy of the second edition published in 1818 your little book should be dated How ever, it was the Copy for which this large sum had been paid, and its value I appraised at a sovereign.
