Size 9.25 x 6.25 inches VOLUME 1 IS SIGNED BY HARDY, and has an etched portrait by WILLIAM STRANG as a frontispiece. Vol.2 has the "Map of Wessex of the Novels and Poems". This is an EDITION DE LUXE, LIMITED TO 500 COPIES. Trained as an architect he worked as such until he was able to support himself by writing in 1874.
