Notes
A yellowback issue of Mary Eliza Kennard's first novel, an 1883 triple-decker set in the foxhunting world familiar to the author. Wolff records a one-volume edition published by Chapman and Hall in 1884 with the same pagination and illustrations which this version presumably follows, but Ward, Lock & Co. had gone over to issuing this title in plainer cloth (in line with changing fashions in publishing) by the 1890s.
