Ninth impression of the 1897 first edition. Publisher's original red cloth with an illustration of The Beetle in black and green and titles in black and gilt to the upper board, and titles in black and gilt to the spine. Illustrated with a tissue guarded frontispiece and three further full page black and white plates by John Wil…liamson. Single page of publisher's adverts at the rear. A very good copy, the binding firm with rubbing and bumping to the extremities, the cloth with a few minor marks and some fading to the slightly rolled spine. The contents, with a previous owner's name in pencil, and a Christmas 1905 gift inscription in ink to the half title, are otherwise clean with just the odd finger mark or isolated foxing spot to the margins. An early supernatural mystery novel, first published in the same year as Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and, like 'Dracula', developing a vein of gothic terror first popularised by Ann Radcliffe's 'The Mysteries of Udolpho' and later by Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

First Edition. [Supernatural thriller] First impression of this edition (second printings are identified as such on c.p.). Apparently the first edition printed in America following Mansfield's earlier edition using British sheets. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.viii; 338; [6], ads. Bound in publisher's dark blue cloth pictorially blocke…d in colours, edges trimmed. Contents clean but for small brown stain to gutter of prelims, ink name to endpaper, dated ink initials to top edge, covers clean and bright. Near fine. A fresh copy of an early supernatural mystery novel. One of the best selling novels of the late nineteenth century: The Beetle remained in print for over 60 years, effortlessly outselling its now far better known competition, a certain Dracula, printed the same year, being amongst them. Subsequent literary endeavours by people like Boothby and Rohmer clearly owe a lot to Marsh's really rather high calibre tale of evil oriental interlopers with insidious powers and sinister intentions. Rare in this condition.
