This sale is for a vintage hardback FIRST EDITION entitled “Treasure Trove,” subtitled “Good Things Lost and Found,” collected by John O’ London, pseudonym of Wilfred Whitten (1864–1942) with a frontispiece.

 

It was published by George Newnes Limited, of London, in June, 1925 (date of Introduction) and appears to be the FIRST EDITION - one of the wonderful vintage “John O’ London’s Little Books”, edited by John O’ London.

 

In this little book the editor makes an attempt to pull together sayings witticisms bit of prose and verse that many of us will be familiar with but unsure from whence it came with no hope of finding it again when memory deserts us so the book has for example a last words of the famous section - lots of little gems in here - there is a frontispiece by George Morrow of Punch.

 

John O’ London was pseudonym of Wilfred Whitten (1864–1942) – he was Editor 1919-1936 of John O'London's Weekly, a weekly literary magazine that was also published by George Newnes Ltd of London between 1919 and 1954.
