Dr. Thorne [Quite Scarce]
by Trollope, Anthony
- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
- first
London: Chapman & Hall, 1858. Mixed First and Second edition. Hardcover. Very Good. A Very Good copy of this Trollope classic, rebound in contemporary 3/4 leather with a lovely compartmented spine lettered and decorated in gilt, with marbled boards and marbled endpapers, and with the edges of the closed page block marbled to match the boards, without the advertisements. Volume I and Volume II are the scarce second edition, and Volume III is the prized first edition. in the Publisher's original tan boards Sadleir estimates that only 750 copies of the first edition, and only 250 copies of the second edition, were printed. The novel centers on young Frank Gresham, heir to the remnants of a once-fine English Estate and once-fine fortune that his father had wasted under the influence of Frank's aristocratic mother, and on the young Mary Thorne whose origins and history are known only to her uncle, the good Doctor Thorne. Of this novel, Hugh Walpole stated "There are fire-and-thunder Trollopians who will die for DOCTOR THORNE. By not a few it is considered the best Trollope of them all." Immensely popular, the first edition sold out in a single fortnight, leading to the the production of the second edition (of only 250 copies) even as the first cheap edition in a single volume was being prepared. The front pastedown of each Volume bears the elegant bookplate and small shelf location sticker of Lord Monteagle of Brandon with the family motto "Fides non Timet" [Faith does not Fear] surrounding the family crest. We speculate, quite reasonably we think, that mixed issues of Dr. Thorne were on the market at the same time and that this set is such a set. Sadleir ranks the first edition of Dr. Thorne as the SECOND SCARCEST OF ANTHONY TROLLOPE'S NOVELS, ranking in scarcity behind only The Macdermots of Ballycloran (itself one of the scarcest novels in all of Victorian Era literature and, in all practicality, unobtainable), and the second edition, with only one-third as many copies printed, logically should be scarcer still. This copy is in Very Good condition with the leaves trimmed for the rebinding, but with nice margins remaining, shelf wear to the base of each board with the rubbing through to the board where originally covered in cloth, some scuffing to the leather and to the board paper, and a light touch of quite scattered foxing to the leaves). A Very Good set of a remarkably scarce Trollope triple decker, and especially scarce with any of the volumes being in the first edition. QUITE SCARCE.

Description:
Firenze: R. Bemporad & Figlio, Editori, 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. Maschere nude volume V. 151 pp. Full light brown calf, spine with four raised bands and red and black morocco labels lettered in gold. Signed and inscribed by Luigi Pirandello "Ad Alessandro Varaldo, fraternamente, Luigi Pirandello." Varaldo was a fellow playwright, novelist and mystery writer: his book Il settebello is considered the first example of Italian detective novel. The tragic satire and savage humor that emerged through the story of a troubled couple disturbed early audiences accustomed to sentimental bourgeois comedy, but the play reveals Pirandello's ability to exaggerate the realms of both apology and farce. Mild foxing to edges, small laceration and short tear to the spine panel. A pleasing presentation copy from the 1934 winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. In the Italian language. ; Octavo; Signed by Author.

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
