A tight and handsome later printing undated but circa 1890 of this tale first published in 1863 a "New Edition" from this publisher's "Select Library of Fiction" series -- the best known of the several historical novels by this Scottish novelist 1821-78 most of whose books concern outdoor sports. Most intriguing though is this copy's provenance: It hails from the library of Confederate First Lady Varina Howell Davis 1826-1906. At the top of the title page she pens "V Jefferson Davis. / 1890." in brown ink. This would have been signed during the brief period between her husband's death in 1889 and her moving from Biloxi Mississippi to New York City in 1891. Tiny lightly pencilled note at bottom of title page in hand of noted autograph dealer/popularizer Charles Hamilton 1913-96. Highly unusual. Longmans, Green, and Co hardcover
