A 59pp. paperback booklet in the most attractive illustrated paper wraps. The title page states Second Edition as per the SABIB entry in Vol. 1, Page 650 (6 copies). It would actually appear to be the 1st. edition thus, as SABIB also lists a title by Cromb - The Majuba Disaster, published in 1891 and only 44pp. long. The publishers might have regarded this as the 1st. Edition.

For a fragile paperback book of this vintage, the book is in unusually nice condition. The lower 4cms. of the paper covered spine is defective but the covers are otherwise bright and internally the book is very clean.

A scarce item.
