Publisher's Synopsis

The Torrance-Clendennin Episode And The Melville Letters, On Racing, Hunting, Steeple Chasing, Clubs, And Club Life, Etc. (1892) is a book written by Clarence D. Levey. The book is a compilation of letters written by Herman Melville, the author of Moby-Dick, to his friend Evert Duyckinck, discussing various topics related to racing, hunting, steeple chasing, clubs, and club life. The book also contains an account of the Torrance-Clendennin episode, which was a scandalous horse racing incident that took place in the late 19th century. The book provides a fascinating insight into the world of horse racing and club life during the Victorian era. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of horse racing and the social customs of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
