About This Item
Londini: Longmans, Green & Co., 1881. SCARCE in lovely fine binding stamp signed by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, London for Marshall Field and Co. Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881, was a Scottish essayist, satirist, and historian. Published a month after Carlyle's death by his literary executor, James Anthony Froude, to much controversy over the editing. They were republished in 1887 with Harvard professor Charles Eliot Norton as the editor. Two volumes in contemporary half calf over marbled boards, the calf undyed at the spines and dyed green at the covers to harmonize with the green marbled boards, backs gilt, marbled end papers, top edges gilt, wear showing at joints yet still holding nicely, small rubs at corners, interiors clean and bright. A handsome set. . First Edition. Half Calf. Very Good -/No Jacket, As Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
