London & New York: Chapman & Hall -- A.C. Armstrong and Son, 1889. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Albert Pepin. TWO VOLUMES First Edition. Mixed publisher set with volume I being the London issue and volume II being the New York issue. Nearly identical light wear pattern to both volumes with exactly the same spine tone, suggests that this was a very early pairing, if not an original pairing by the publishers. The only difference in the London and New York volume is the publisher name stamped to base of spine and the addition of "New York: A.C. Armstrong And Son" printed on the title page below the "London: Chapman And Hall". In fact, the title page of volume II for the New York issue is a cancel (meaning that it was/is a separate sheet that has been glued to a stub at the title page, the UK title page having been excised and replaced with the New York page). Cancels for title pages for UK-USA joint publications were fairly common during the period when this… Read More
