Attached inside the front cover are a small bookplate and a newspaper clipping from the <I>Daily Express</B></I>, dated (handwritten in pencil) June 15, 1926, reporting the death of Lord Dunraven, focusing, not on his writing, but on his reputation as a yachtsman and breeder of horses. The book is in good condition: the cloth binding is beginning to become loose from the spine, and there is some acidification on the title page and front endpaper (from the newspaper clipping).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
