A propos de cet article

First UK edition, 1866 First Published Printing, FIRST ISSUE: A very good, and internally clean hardcover copy, with the original red cloth covered boards with the original tissue guard. FIRST STATE with the Inverted ?S? on the last line of the contents page, and page 30 numbered as page ?3?. The 1866 edition is the ?unofficial second edition?, but is considered the official first published edition of the book, as the 1865 edition was recalled. Of the copies showing 1865 on the title page, only 23 copies survived and only 5 of those are in private hands, the rest are in public institutions. Macmillan quickly reprinted the book using this 1866 title page, with copies available as early as November 1865, making this the first ?published? edition available for purchase at bookstores. This copy is the First printing, First issue with page 30 numbered as page ?3?, FIRST STATE with the inverted ?S? in the last line of the Contents page. It is in a very good condition. The book has been recased some time ago, with all the original cloth laid back down. The original tissue guard remains present but the light blue end papers were replaced with period brown coated end papers. The copy is extremely clean internally withOUT the often found handling marks and withOUT foxing. The book has no owner names and no inscriptions. Accompanied by a red morocco and marbled clamshell box. ADDITIONAL SET OF IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Please see our ABE store for other landmark titles.
