Notes
A sharp copy of a fragile Victorian paperback reprinting two stories from Chambers's Journal. The first, which takes up the bulk of the book, is an Orientalist romance set in the South China Sea and first published in 1876, while the final 24 pages are taken up with an anonymous detective tale. Library Hub records 4 copies: BL, NLS, Oxford and Cambridge.
