Bound Set of Pearson's Magazine From 1899
<B>Bound Set of Pearson's Magazine From 1899</B></I> including the January to June, 1899 issues as published by G. Arthur Pearson, Limited, London. Each issue contains works of serial fiction, tales of science, history, art, and current affairs. Among many of the interesting stories is an early account of submarines entitled "Under Water in a Diving Torpedo-Boat"; a story on Germany's use of dogs in war, an interesting account of what the famous authors of the day did for fun (Arthur Conan Doyle cycled), and many examples of series fiction including "The Adventures of Captain Kettle". Perhaps most importantly, the June 1899 issue includes the very last original Flaxman Low story, famous for being the first occult detective in English literature. The volumes are bound in a half leather binding with gilt titles. The exterior front hinge is broken and the leather is rubbed, especially at the corners. The inside front hinge has just started to crack but the internal contents are sound and bright.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
