viii, 326pp. 12mo. A 'new edition' of Murray's Reading for the Rail. Card covered boards, rubbed, marked and chipped with loss at head and heal of spine. Slightly shaken with webbing visible between endpapers. Two previous owner's inscriptions on front endpaper, one dated 1873, the other 1892. An atmospheric volume reminiscent of Victorian Rail Travel - one must have something sensational to read on the train! Includes articles (reprinted from the Times newspaper) entitled: Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton; Railway Novels; Louis Philippe and his Family; Drama of the French Revolution; Howard the Philanthropist; Lord Holland's Reminiscences; Robert Southey; Dean Swift - Stella and Vanessa; Coleridge and Southey; John Keats; Grote's History of Greece; Literature of the Rail etc.
