LOT 3035
ALLONBY, Edith. The Fulfilment. London: Greening & Co., Ltd, 1905. First edition, 8vo (185 x 117mm.) Portrait frontispiece with tissue-guard, 2pp. of publisher's advertisements to rear. (Spotting to preliminaries, fore-edge and rear pastedown.) Original purple cloth (some sunning to spine, light rubbing to extremities). Note: Edith Allonby was the headmistress of a Lancaster school and had published two previous novels. However, believing that this novel was not going to be published she committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid as a way of publicising this book which, as she wrote to her sister, contained 'either truth or page upon page of blasphemy'.
