JAMES (HUGO)
Footnotes
RARE, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed to his sister. James was in the Bengal Army. That the book is rare is perhaps explained by a contemporary review in The Rambler, a Catholic Review of Home and Foreign Literature, 1854: "Though Mr. James was with Major Edwardes at Mooltan, and has therefore some stirring personal recollections to disclose, he spoils all by his utter inability to write... his pretensions to be a sage are somewhat inconsistent with his oblivion of syntax".
Provenance: The author's sister, presentation inscription from the author; University of Southern California, bookplate and stamps.
