Macmillan, New York, 1915, 1^st US Ed.  Hard cover, 460 pages followed by publisher’s ads.  Good; red cloth with gilt lettering on front and spine; front board blind ruled.  Boards show some spots and soil, some rubs; edge, corner and spine end wear.  Binding sound with all pages secure.  No jacket.  Front end paper removed; prior owner’s inked name on half title page; remainder of interior clean and unmarked.  The main character insists on living a noble aristocratic life and always adheres to his principles or ideals, which ultimately have a cost.  The humorous novel recounts his boyhood, adventures, relationships and life, at times making him appear ridiculous in his obsession and at others an inspiration.
