Blackwood (Algernon) The Education of Uncle Paul.

First edition, later impression, inscribed by the author on front free endpaper and with additional gift inscription from him mounted to same; 8vo. 8pp. advertisements; typed Blackwood poem loosely inserted. Original red cloth, lettered in gilt, t.e.g. Dust-jacket.
First published in 1909, this is at least the fourth reprint. The inscriptions seem to imply a correction on the author’s behalf, the first inscribed to ‘Miss Norton’, the second ‘Miss Naughton’.
