Engine-Driving Life by Michael Reynolds - 1st Edition 1881
I wouldn't normally post an Ebay ad here but wondered if for some reason
folk were just not finding it, perhaps it is in the wrong section but
surprisingly there are not even any "watchers".
Item number: 150274402384
Engine-Driving Life or "Stirring Adventures and Incidents in the Lives of
Locomotive Engine-Drivers" by Michael Reynolds born 1840. ("The Engine
Driver's Friend") Published in London by Crosby, Lockwood and Co. 1st
Edition 1881
Black, gold and silver design on grey cloth, showing the Tay Bridge
accident of 28 December 1879. This incident features in William
McGonagall's poem, "The Tay Bridge disaster".
Very good condition for a book that is over 120 years old. 5" x 7.25"
tall. No jacket; frontispiece illustration is clear, no stamp marks nor
inscription of any kind. The text block is grey but no spotting and the
corners are slightly bumped.
Thanks,
Mike
