KANE, JAMES J. Adrift on the Black Wild Tide. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1879. 2nd ed. 16mo. 80 pp. Orig. cloth. $85.00

 

Wright III, 3052, for an 80 pp. edition of the same date, but since pp. [5]-8 are occupied here with a preface to the second edition, it seems likely that Wright is recording and collating this second edition, especially in light of the author's statement that the book was first published in Glasgow in 1878. A fantasy by a clergyman, who explains that he wrote it under the influence of yellow fever.
