Woodgate, Major Herbert. The Unwritten Commandment.

London: Limpus, Baker & Co., [1902].
No. 1 in “The Society Series”. 8vo. 321pp. [with the most amazing publisher’s imprint to the verso of the final leaf]. Publisher’s oatmeal cloth lavishly decorated in blue, green and red to the spine and front board. Minor scuffing and rubbing, light bumping to spine ends. A very pretty book indeed, very striking. Internally clean, page edges a little grubby, ink ownership to front flyleaf. In this context the titular Unwritten Commandment is: “Thou Shalt Not Be Found Out.” which appear to be words to live by in this eminently readable catalogue of high society vices. Scarce.
