Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

First edition. Illustrated throughout with frontispiece and thirty-five plates. Collated complete. Opinions have ever been divided on the question of the morality, or the immorality, of smuggling. Despite the author's intent to write purely for entertainment, this history of smugglers is said to romanticise their exploits, and obscure their more horrendous crimes. Written by Charles George Harper, an English author and illustrator. Illustrated by Paul Hardy, an English illustrator, best known for his regular illustrations in The Strand Magazine.
