Softcover. Etat : Near Fine. First. Lance Tingay (1915 - 1990) was a British sports journalist, historian, and author of several tennis books. For many years his annual ranking of top tennis players was "the only one that counted" before ATP rankings were introduced in 1973. But he was also a devoted fan of the works of Anthony Trollope and the entire Trollope family. This is a catalogue, apparently produced after Tingay's death, of the sale of some of his extensive Trollope collection. And it was a very extensive collection, filling 50 pages with nearly 700 listings. This copy is near fine in beige printed wrappers. Very slight soiling on the wrappers, but no other marks or damage.

[Cover title]. "One story is good till another is told", or a reply to Mr. Anthony Trollope, on that part of his work, entitled "Australia and New Zealand", relating to the colony of Victoria. Pp. 48, photocopied; small square 4to; navy binder's cloth, the upper board lettered in gilt; The Silverbridge Press, London, 1989. *This copy bound for Lance O. Tingay. Originally privately published in Liverpool, New South Wales, in 1877 [see Ferguson 8187]. The author, Thomas Foster Chuck, arrived in Melbourne in the middle of the century, and opened a photographic studio in the Royal Arcade, Melbourne, in 1864. His intention in publishing this 'lecture' was 'to explain some of the mistakes Mr. Trollope has been led into by biased or simple informants, and to correct those statements that need correcting' - particularly regarding the Victorian section of Trollope's book.
