LOCKE, W.J.
The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne.

A whimsical novel about a middle-aged schoolmaster who inherits a title and fortune after his family dies in a shipwreck, reflecting on his newfound freedom from a tedious teaching job.

With a rather indistinct presentation inscription on the front free endpaper which may read “For Sam & Madge / with the author’s love / May[?] ’05.” Seemingly a later issue with a cancel title page giving the date of 1903.

Spine faded. Very good copy.
