HOWARD, Ebenezer (1850-1928). To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform . London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co., Ltd, 1898.

With 7 chromolithographic plates including a depiction of the famous ‘Three Magnets’ diagram, illustrating the union of town and country. Octavo (185 x 124mm). Half-title. 7 chromolithographic plates, of which one folding, newspaper obituary of Howard tipped onto front free endpaper (light spotting to first few leaves). Publisher’s red cloth, upper cover lettered in black (the binding refurbished with colouring to head and tail of spine, spine somewhat faded); housed in black cloth solander box. Provenance : ‘A. Gorrie’ (ownership inscription on title).
