The Long Arm, and other Detective tales.
London, Chapman and Hall. 1895. First Edition. Publisher's dark blue cloth lettered in gilt and delicately decorated with a floral design in light blue and grey. A most attractive book with slight wear to the extremties and bumping to the spine ends. A scarce collection of crime stories (mentioned in Greene and Glover). A desireable little bit of crime fiction. Also notable for the fact that contributing author George Ira Brett's police-detective Battle predates his rather more famous namesake, the series character Superintendent Battle, created by Agatha Christie some 30 years later.
