Professor Fielding, the ever-popular philologist was called by George Savage to examine some ancient scripts. He knocked out his pipe on the library shelf, and in doing so unwittingly created a piece of evidence which could have led to his arrest for the murder of a man whom he had never seen.....

Provenance: This book formerly belonged to the celebrated bibliographer and book seller George Locke.
