London, The Hansom Cab Publishing Company, [1888]. . Early issue, 'two hundred and twenty-fifth thousand'; advertisements at front and end, one advertisment leaf loose, some browning/foxing to leaves at front and end; publisher's pictorial wrappers worn and soiled, some repair work to around spine but original printed backstrip present; together with a loose typed letter signed from Hume to a Mr O'Donnell dated 10th November 1905, both housed in a modern slip-case, reproducing the top and rear boards of the book.

This is the first UK edition of this work printed originally in Australia. Rarely seen in this condition as this work was so popular it was often passed around to be read by friends and is in quite a thin paper binding. This novel was such a sensational hit that 25,000 copies were published a month in England from July 1887 onwards, this printing being from January 1888. The work was so popular that is outsold the first Sherlock Holmes novel, 'A Study in Scarlet', selling so many copies that it became the best-selling mystery novel of the Victorian era.'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' is an Australian mystery novel, first published in Australia 1886, and England in 1887.Set in Melbourne, the mystery focuses on a… Read More
