He Knew He Was Right

London: Strahan and Company, 1869. First edition. Cloth. Good. 9" by 5.5". Marcus Stone. A first edition copy of Trollope's popular novel with numerous plates and illustrations throughout by Marcus Stone. Complete in two volumes. 'He Knew He Was Right' is a 1869 novel written by Anthony Trollope. The story follows the failure of a marriage caused by the couples jealousy and stubbornness. As is common with Trollope's works, there are also several substantial subplots. Trollope considered this work to be a failure; he viewed the main character as unsympathetic, and the secondary characters and plots much more lively and interesting. A lovely example of this desirable work. In a quarter cream cloth binding with paper covered boards and printed paper spine labels. Externally, generally smart. Sunning to the spine, and mild marks to the front and rear boards. Light rubbing to the spine and extremities, with some light bumping also to the extremities. The rear hinge of volume I is strained but firm. Internally, generally firmly bound, strained in places with cords showing. Pages are generally clean, with the occasional spots and handling marks. One or two pages are a little tattered to the edges. There are library stamps to the title pages and a couple of further pages in the texts. Good
