Description
1898. With Forty Full-Page Illustrations. London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1898. 6 pp undated ads. Original red cloth with front cover vignette in gilt. First English Edition, published about a week after the Philadelphia edition (titled A DESERT DRAMA). This is Doyle's suspenseful (and imperialistic) tale of a Nile riverboat, the "Korosko," and its encounter with the Dervishes; tourists are abducted, with the demand that they renounce Christianity. Doyle had in fact made such a trip with his family in January 1896, and the threat of such an encounter was real. His intention, he later wrote, was to show the effect upon the character of a varied group of people when they are suddenly plunged into frightful disaster. It is a book of sensation, but it has a philosophic basis, and for this reason is among my favourites. I had been over the ground and had been exposed to that very danger immediately before I wrote it. The tale was filmed twice, in 1924 (as "The Desert Sheik") and in 1932 (as "Fires of Fate"). The plates are by Sidney Paget, who also illustrated the Sherlock Holmes adventures. This copy has black-coated endpapers, as specified by G&G -- though we have seen just as many copies with white endpapers. It is in near-fine condition, with scarcely any wear or soil (volume a little askew, very slight bubbling of the cloth -- both as is often the case); atypically for these black endpapers, the hinges are NOT cracked. Green & Gibson A22a.

Description
N.p. [New York?], [1926]. First Edition Thus. Small, square quarto in wrappers; [8pp]. Fine, apparently unread copy. A Sherwood Anderson rarity. This finely-printed keepsake on thick paper appears to be the only separate appearance of an article which first appeared in Vanity Fair for September, 1926. Later reprinted in Hello Towns (SHEEHY 333), but this printing not noted by the bibliographer. Issued without imprint, date, or publisher, but includes a brief introductory statement by Frank Crowninshield, editor of Vanity Fair. Presumably produced as a premium for Vanity Fair subscribers, or perhaps as a Christmas keepsake for the author's use. None others in commerce. OCLC gives 8 locations.

Description
octavo, 28 page pamphlet, ex-library, handstamp on title page, lacking wrappers, removed from bound volume of pamphlets, else a good, clean copy. "In 1837 an attempted insurrection in Canada was put down, and the group fled to an American island in the Niagra River. A small steamer, the Caroline, brought provisions to them, and the British sent out a force to destroy it, which they did, killing Amos Durfee in the effort. The incident led to a controversy between the United States and England. McLeod, while in Buffalo, boasted of being Durfee's killer. He was arrested and charged by New York state with the murder. The United States government tried to prevent the trial, and failing, the United States Attorney successfully defended McLeod, who probably had no part in the event." – see McDade, Annals of Murder, 660
