First Edition. A fan of this title kindly sent us a description of the book: 'The heroine, Marcia Gunther, deeply loves her young husband, Rolf Gunther, but is frustrated by his sexual inhibitions. In a fatally wrong-headed attempt to awaken his passions she threatens to run away to another man. Regretting her rash act, she returns home in the early hours of the morning, only to discover that he has drowned himself. She then does set forth on a long inward journey of atonement, but in the end is persuaded by Rolf's best friend, the sardonic Dr. Paul Brule, to allow herself to love again---and to respond to his love for her. I have owned this book for over forty years and read it many times.' Near Fine in attractive Very Good plus dustjacket. Item #41053

First Edition. Novel and "picture of the social climber in American womanhood, the undertaker's daughter in Passaic who climbs through Brooklyn's church workers and New York's charity and East Side into English society and European chateau life. The most cold blooded and accurate presentation of a certain type of money making, hard working, commercial man. It is doubtful if there has, in many years, been a more terrible arraignment of the financier put into print". Philips is known for producing one of the most important investigations exposing details of the corruption of the Senate by big businesses, in particular, by the Standard Oil Company. He was among a few other writers during that time that helped prompt President Theodore Roosevelt to use the term Muckraker. Phillips' reputation cost him his life in January 1911, when he was shot outside the Princeton Club at Gramercy Park in New York City. The killer was a Harvard-educated musician named Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, a violinist in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra who came from a prominent Maryland family. Goldsborough believed that Phillips' novel The Fashionable Adventures of Joshua Craig had cast literary aspersions on his family. When confronting Phillips, Goldsborough yelled, "Here you go!" After Phillips collapsed, he yelled, "And here I go!", shooting himself in the head. Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket. Item #29586
