DUNCAN, Norman Best of a Bad Job. light brown pcb
Revell, 1912,
DUNCAN, Norman. The Best of a Bad Job : A Hearty Tale of the Sea. N.Y., Chicago, Tor., [...] : Fleming H.Revell Company, n.d. (Copyright, 1912). Pp (6),7-204,(4,ads), frontis.+ 3 plates. 8vo, light brown paper covered boards, with schooner design. O'Dea 1534, Watters p.280 (Tor.ed.), Rhodenizer p.727. For Duncan (1871-1916) see ENL I:653-4. Having a cheaper style of binding and lacking a frontispiece tissue guard, I would say that this is a later issue than the dark teal cloth. This particular publisher always presents dating and priority problems, and in the absence of thorough bibliographies (for our purposes, of Grenfell and Duncan), we have to use clues such as gift inscriptions and purchase notes. Short tear to head of spine ow vg. 35.00

The deep is not thus subdued; the toiler of the sea - the Newfoundlander of the upper shore - is born to conflict, ceaseless and deadly, and, in the dawn of all the days, he puts forth anew to wage it, as his father did, and his father's father, and as his children must, andhis children's children, to the last of them; nor from day to day can he f oresee the issue, nor from season to season foretell the worth of the spoil, which is what chance allows." - pp 413.
