1820 Drake WINTER NIGHTS TALES 2 vols 1st GOTHIC GHOST



DRAKE, Nathan, M.D. (1766-1836).

WINTER NIGHTS; Or, Fire-side Lucubrations. In Two Volumes.

London: Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, Paternoster-Row. 1820.

First edition. Two volumes. Octavo, original drab blue boards with tan board spines, printed paper labels on spines. 295 + 300 pp. Pages mostly uncut throughout. Corners a bit bruised, boards slightly soiled, spine labels somewhat chipped. A very go od clean set, extremely scarce in the original boards. ¶ Gothic Fiction, Early Detective. Miscellany of essays, verse and a long story: 'Kirton Priory, or the Burtons and Bellerdistons; a Tale of the Seventeenth Century'; a ghost story rationalised in terms of secret passages, sliding panels et al. Strictly speaking, not a supernatural novel, but rather a very early prototype of the detective story. "The Burtons are a pro-Cromwell family who have been awarded Kirton Priory in return for their efforts. They are curious as to what happened to the previous owners, and make a determined effort, by enquiry among the locals and other means, to discover their fate. Eventually, they learn that their predecessors are still living within the house , using the secret passages and rooms, and are in fact the "ghosts" which are observed on occassion." - Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy (1980).

A note on Shipping: ebay requires us to offer a shipping service at $4.00. There is actually no way to ship a book from Canada to the USA for $4.00.

I can send via Air Mail small packet for $12.50 (that's the Canada Post rate), or by Surface Mail at $10.50.

Anyone using the buy-it-now and sending only $4.00 extra for postage will be billed extra.



Payment may be made by Paypal or by credit card directly to us. We hold a retail merchant account and can accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express Cards.

We ship worldwide. Postage is charged at cost. WE ARE IN CANADA. Canada post rates to the USA apply; for most books, that is $12.50 to the USA by Air, more for a signed and trackable service. Ebay's requirement of a $4.00 shipping option is not a reality. Please do not utilise the $4.00 shipping option as it is not a possibility from Canada to the USA. All of our items are securely packaged with bubble-wrap and fresh boxes and sent in a timely manner. We ship through Canada Post, as we are located in Canada, hence we abide by Canada Post Shipping rates which are higher than domestic USPS rates. We guarantee the secure arrival of all items sold. However, high-value items will be sent via a trackable service (International ExpressPost, for instance) in order to ensure proof of delivery. We cannot be responsible for the non-delivery of expensive items if not sent via a trackable service.

* Seller is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Canada. * All books may be returned for full refund for any reason within a reasonable length of time. * Timely shipping upon receipt of payment from high bidder. * Actual Postage will be charged at cost in addition to final bid. * Canadian Residents must pay 5% GST * Payment may be made by Paypal, Visa, Mastercard or American Express, We verify ALL credit cards before shipping. * Your bid is a contract - Place a bid only if you're serious about buying the item. If you are the winning bidder, you will enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item. If the seller is unable to establish contact with the winning bidder within 3 days of the end of the auction or if payment is not received within 5 days, item may be offered to the next highest bidder or relisted at the sellers sole discretion. You will also be rated as negative and reported to ebay.

We are a long established company dealing in second-hand, out of print and antiquarian books on all subjects. We are members in good standing of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Canada and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.
