London: Macmillan, 1988. Four volume set, complete. xxxii, 675; xviii, 675; xx, 666; xviii, 619 pages. Reprint of 1986 edition. Olive cloth stamped in gilt and black on spine. Clean, fresh, and free of wear, these volumes appear near-new. Previous owner's name on front endpaper, pages crisp, otherwise clean. Although binding is firm to tight, each volume has a separation with stitching exposed between either the first two or last two gatherings of pages; one volume has both; probably caused by the sheer weight of the books themselves. This extremely large and heavy set (about 10 kg/ 22 lbs packed) will probably require extra shipping, especially for overseas or airmail orders.. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket As Issued. 11 in. x 8.5 in. (28cm x 21.5cm).

London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
