Marshall, B
Silver Lining Series Number Two.
San Francisco: William Doxey, 1894. First edition. Harlan, At the Sign of the Lark, 17; Wright III,3163. 8vo, original dark purple cloth spine, maroon sides, gilt pictorial decorations and lettering. 28 plates by M. Isabelle Morrison. ¶ The cover title of this unusual collection of stories is “The Story of a Watch and Other Sketches.” Harlan notes this volume “is without question the most eccentric publication with which Doxey was associated.” The author, a San Francisco physician, held the deep-rooted belief that books should be held horizontally rather than vertically, and Doxey had the text imposed to correspond with his theory. Alas, the illustrations were placed in the usual manner - and so ended up “at cross purposes” with the text (Harlan). Edges a bit rubbed; very good copy.
