£945 For Alice In Wonderland"

London, Feb. 8.

There W25 şome particularly keen bidding for a copy of the mast edition of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," published in 1865, at Knight, Frank and Rutley's rooms in Hanover Square yesterday, the final bid of 900. guineas coming from Messrs Magga Brothers.
