19088425New York: Metropolitan Syndicate 1908. Octavo pp. 1-8 1-2 3-225 226-228: blank note: last leaf is a blank original light green cloth lettered in red on front and spine panels. First edition. The rare first issue with integral title leaf bearing the "Metropolitan Syndicate" imprint and bound in non-pictorial green cloth. SARDONICS is the first of Lyon's two books both collecting some of his short fiction. Lyon's untimely death at age 33 cut short a promising literary career. His fiction was of high caliber and has been favorably compared with that of Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce. "The 31 tales and sketches in SARDONICS and GRAPHICS can be properly compared with the work of Crane and Bierce for vivid highly characterized and purposeful narrative. 'The Second Motive' in SARDONICS and 'Revenge' in GRAPHICS are psychological murder tragedies at the two extremes of the social scale. Lyon like Crane and Norris died before his talents had fully matured and unfortunately when his work had only begun to appear in McCLURE'S MAGAZINE and to attract special attention." - Bennett A Practical Guide to American Book Collecting p. 204. Most of the stories in SARDONICS are mystery or detective shorts some with fantastic elements. "Into the Fourth Dimension" concerns the fate of the inventor of a device to project people into other dimensions who is poisoned in a Chinese restaurant kills his tormentor and escapes into another dimension with disastrous results.

Binding broken after titlepage institutional ink and blind stamp on titlepage. Minor foxing. Good. An important case relating to the robbery of the Bank of Pennsylvania in 1798. Robbers entered the bank in early September 1798 during one of the periodic outbreaks of Yellow Fever in Philadelphia. Because no evidence of forcible entry was detected suspicion immediately fell on blacksmith Patrick Lyon a British mechanic who had fashioned various iron fittings for the bank building including the locks. He claimed to have been out of town with his son to avoid the fever when the robbery took place but he was nonetheless arrested and imprisoned. The case was a city sensation and the press took up Lyon's cause which eventually led to his being freed. <br> <br> This work reports the trial of the president of the bank a cashier one of the bank directors who was also an alderman of Philadelphia and a high constable who were all sued for damages by Lyon on the charge of false imprisonment. The officers of the bank were sentenced to pay Patrick Lyon $12000 for false and malicious prosecution without reasonable cause. Described as "Very Scarce" in the Brinley catalog.

Lyon's location in central France at the confluence of two major rivers the Rhone and Saone helped to establish the city as a trading center and an ideal location for trade fairs. By the late fifteenth century fairs produced by Italian merchants made Lyon the banking center of France. Given its economic importance and the jealousy of other cities and on occasion kings of France the city was careful to record and assert its rights. As much a political statement as it a legal handbook the Privileges is a compilation of laws orders privileges and other legislation granted to the fair of Lyon from 1349 to 1563.
