Undated first edition [1852]. States "with illustrations" on the title page, and indeed later editions have many sketches. Despite this statement, the book has only one plate, facing page 161. Mid C19th rebinding in brown leather over brown marbled boards: black leather title label on spine. Light foxing, owner's signature (185?) on title page, edges lightly rubbed, good. The novel is advertised as "edited by" Frederick Hardman: it may be a translation from a German text. Sigismund; or, Hidden Treasures (reissued in 1853 as Hidden Treasures, or, The Heir of Hohenburg) is a lurid romance of the Hartz Mountains.
