Author: JACKSON, Wilfrid S.
Title: Nine Points of the Law.
Description: London, John Lane 1903. Octavo publisher's illustrated cloth blocked in git, white and brown. A few spots at the edges and ends, a rather good copy. ¶ First edition. A goodhearted thriller with a Candide-like hero dragged into action and wrongfully suspected. This appears to be Jackson's first book and his only mystery. He published a couple more novels but none seem to have set the world on fire (though his next novel 'Helen of Troy, NY' got a good notice in the NY Times) and he settled into a steady career as a translator and general man-of-letters.
