Author: WATSON, H.B. Marriott.
Title: The Devil's Pulpit.
Description: NY, Dodd Mead 1908. Octavo publisher's illustrated cloth blocked in red blue and green; frontispiece. The last couple of pages roughly opened (the first reader obviously impatient to read the last page); a rather good, bright copy. ¶ First American edition, or first edition? After some rigorous and dangerous detective work I can now tell the world that this and 'The Golden Precipice' (Cassell 1908) are the same book. They aren't connected in the references I've found. A treasure hunting romp on a tramp steamer down the Carribean way with mutiny, skullduggery, villains and a lovely girl on board.
