Original orange cloth, lettered and illustrated in red (gilt on spine). A few light marks, fore-edges spotted, pencilled inscription on front free endpaper, very good. A novel of workers versus capitalists, involving blackmail, strikes and riot. "A novel of topical interest" (publisher's blurb). Le Breton published his first novel (Miss Tudor) in 1897 and wrote a number of books jointly with his wife under the pseudonym John Le Breton.
