The Captain's Death Bed and Other Essays

First UK edition. 8vo. Pp. 223, [1]. Maroon cloth boards, lettered in gilt to spine, with brown top-stain (as called for). Jacket design by Vanessa Bell (priced 10s 6d net to the front flap). Preceded by a week by the U.S. edition.

An exceptionally fresh copy in a complete dustwrapper, only marred by the inevitable offsetting to gutters of free endpapers (due to binder's adhesive).

A posthumous collection of twenty-six previously uncollected essays and sketches, including pieces on Conrad, Goldsmith, Hardy, Ruskin, and Turgenev.
