First edition. Fine, bright, tight copy with a bit of offsetting to the front and rear endpapers. No dust jacket was originally issued. Titles stamped in gold gilt on the front cover are fine and bright. From the "Opinion of the Press," "The weird surroundings of the Paris Morgue are a splendid basis upon which to build the incidents of a plot filled with mystery, and dealing with characters in French life which prove eminently interesting to the reader. The labyrinths through which the Parisian detectives have to pass in unravelling the dark deed, the thread which they are following throughout the story, are full of thrilling suggestions, and create a great interest in the denouement. Several of the characters are cleverly sketched, and the incidental insight given into different phases of Parisian life are deeply interesting." Author's only mystery novel.
