London: Baldwin & Cradock / R Ackermann / Walter Spiers, 1831. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. An unbroken run of The New Sporting Magazine from its foundation in 1831 through to December 1838, bound in 15 uniform 8vo volumes. Edited from 1831 to 1836 by RS Surtees and from 1837 by WA Chatto. Much of the magazine is written by Surtees (during and after his editorship) under a variety of pseudonyms (Jorrocks, Yorkshireman, Nim South, Nimrod, etc.). Entertainingly, these characters are often in dispute with each other and criticise each other's work, despite being by the same hand. The magazine is also notable for first publication in parts of some of Surtees' later novels, eg. Jorrocks' Jaunts And Jollities (1838) the first parts of which appear here in volume 2 (1831), predating and perhaps inspiring this method of publication for The Pickwick Papers. Though some commentators maintain that The New Sporting Magazine was largely a work of fiction, in fact it is packed with sporting reports and statistics, predominantly on hunting and racing, but also including other sports such as cricket. These volumes are uniformly bound in green half leather with marbled paper boards with gilt lining, sporting motifs to spine panels, and gilt titling on red leather labels to spine. Wear to edges and corners and some fading of leather as might be expected with age. In general good order throughout, with defects noted below. Most of the plates have been neatly removed, except as noted, but much of the interest in these volumes is, of course, in the writing. A vast amount of reading, unpublished elsewhere, for anyone with an interest in Surtees. Vols 1 to 4 published by Baldwin & Cradock, 5-12 by Ackermann, and 13-15 by Spiers. v1. 464pp + 76pp Racing Calendar bound to rear, + index, + 20pp New Game Bill bound in at front. 2 engraved plates, Dead Red Deer and Black Game. Two pages loose, one rather worn to edges. v2. engraved volume title page, 464pp + 112pp Racing Calendar, + index. v3. engraved volume title page, 476pp + 108pp Racing Calendar bound to rear, + index.

London: Rudolph Ackermann first edition, 1835. Hardcover. Very Good. Hand-coloured aquatint plates (12), with tissue-guards, by Henry Alken.. Octavo modern red crushed morocco, Top Edges Gilt, original upper cover bound in, iv +[2]pp +110pp +[12] leaves of hand-coloured plates. "A most valuable and important book for the sporting life of the period .. though containing only 12 plates, this first edition is more rare, and more valued higher than the second edition" (Tooley 66 cf Schwerdt I p.38). Three plates of this edition (2, 8 and 9) did not appear in the second edition. *Apperley had been Mytton’s neighbour in Shropshire. His task "was to write the life of a man who, while he was one of the most heroic sportsmen that ever lived, was also drunken, diseased and insane .. he performed the task with admirable judgment" (Camb. History of English & American Literature XIV).
