AUTHOR OF 'THE CRUISE OF THE PORT KINGSTON'
WITH 20 ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR
BY A. HEATON COOPER
LONDON ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK
1909
[Considered by many to be the worst book on the Isle of Man ever written, it is included here as an illustration of the opinions of a well respected publicist of the period - his comments on the then current events and his opinions of certain individuals are interesting; W Ralph Hall Caine was a younger brother of Thomas Hall Caine]
The Illustrations are not included here but may be found as a seperate publication
