Ainsworth, W. [William] Harrison The Constable of the Tower (1861)
London George Routledge & Sons Hard Cover Sir John Gilbert
Undated, unillustrated reprint, c1900. Original crimson cloth, with blindstamped pattern on front board and illustration of Windsor Castle in gilt. A little scuffed, inner joint papers lightly cracking (but joints tight), good. Scarce. Ainsworth had a habit of giving different novels similar titles. Thus The Constable of the Tower is quite different from The Constable de Bourbon and also different (although it shares a setting) from either the oft-reprinted The Tower of London or the very rare Tower Hill.

Anonymous Ralph Wildhawk; or, Alone Among the Brigands (c1880)
London Edwin J. Brett, Boys of England Office Soft Cover
Paperback. "Complete". 10 full-page illustrations. Original wrappers, with coloured illustration on front and no title on spine. Price ("One Shilling") overstamped "6d" on top edge of front cover. Paper chipped on spine tips, otherwise very good. Originally issued in 10 weekly instalments, each headed with an illustration. A late penny dreadful, first published around 1880. The book bears the earlier address -- Boys of England Office -- which changed to Harkaway House in the 1890s (see items 14 & 112), supporting the early date.
