Later, Thrupp under the pseudonym of J.G.

Durnford's Watch. "...Beaumont walked on slowly until he was arrested by ['finding' substituted for 'recognising' by the author] the body of an officer who had held a high command. It lay head downwards, and was only partially stripped; a mess waistcoat, and the shirt beneath it, had been torn open, and hanging from a slender chain, fixed into a button-hole, was a small gold watch and bunch of charms. The expression of the face was peaceful, and the corpse apparently disfigured by only one long deep wound. Beaumont knelt down and removed the watch and chain, then taking up one of the cold stiffened hands shook it warmly, murmuring: 'Good-bye, dear old friend, you've done your best, and died hard, I know. I feel I could almost gladly change places with you.' This man had been a brave soldier, a good example and kind friend to all the men under him. The watch had been stopped by blood trickling into the works, and the hands pointed to a quarter to three." - Thrupp. A New Dance of Death, 1884.

Beeton, Mrs Isabella: The Book of Household Management; Comprising information for the Mistress, Housekeeper, Cook, Kitchen Maid, Butler etc… S. O. Beeton, 1861, First Edition, First Issue; With colour frontispiece, additional colour lithographed title, 12 colour lithographed plates & numerous illustrations. The imprint on the coloured lithograph title reads 'S.O. Beeton, 18 Bouverie St, London. E.C. ' which on later issues reads 'Strand, W.C.' to agree with the printed title. (The lithographed plates had been prepared some weeks before the move to the Strand and were too expensive to scrap or alter, while the printed title was not set to type until the last moment. Thus, copies of the first edition, dated 1861, bearing the Strand address on the lithographed title are of later issue than those bearing the Bouverie Street address).
