London: Smith, Elder, and Co.,, 1849 A good set of the 1st edition in 3 volumes in largely contemporary blind-stamped decorative cloth bindings. The cloth has been rebacked and new endpapers provided so the books are sound and tight. All have some degree of loss to the original spines, particularly Vol II which has lost the top part including some of the title. All have wear, including turning and varying degrees of cloth loss to the corners. There is some fading close to the spines and Vol III has fading to the top part of the front board. Internally the volumes are sound, complete and clean with some toning to top margins and the occasional light mark. The first edition was issued in October 1849 without half titles, so each volume has title page, contents list and text. Vol I: 303pp plus 16 pp of advertisements dated September 1849. Vol II: 308pp. Page 304 is correctly numbered and the first line has been corrected. Vol III: 317 pp with 3 pp of notes at the rear advertising the third edition of Jane Eyre and including13 reviews.

London : Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, & Brown, and Taylor & Hessey, 1822 A scarce copy of the 1st edition of this work in 2 volumes in the original publisher's boards. The title page states that the work was 'by a young lady. Also by her father' - the young lady in question was Mary Roberts (related to the Mary Roberts of natural history fame). It was sold by subscription. This copy has a small ink signature of Mary Alderson to both volumes - who is possibly related to one of the subscribers - Revd. J Alderson. The publisher's binding is in very poor condition - it was not intended to last - and the contents are untrimmed - awaiting proper binding.

Tinsley Brothers, London, 1874. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First edition of Jefferies' first novel, published at the author's own expense; this copy being Miller & Matthews third variant, with the uncorrected dedication leaf and without advertisements. 8vo. 309pp. Professionally re-cased retaining the original decorated cloth but with new endpapers. Just a touch of very minor soiling to several leaf margins. A very good copy of an extremely uncommon book - rarely found in the original binding, this example admittedly having undergone some careful restoration. Former owner bookplate to the front pastedown. Miller & Matthews (B4.3) estimate a print run of 500 copies, issued in three batches in July 1874, spring 1875 and this third one sometime afterwards but before August 1877..

Original green cloth with bevelled edges, the spine and upper boards gilt lettered and decorated, with blind-stamped decorations to the rear boards. All edges gilt. The cloth lightly marked in places, with some bruising to the spine ends. A touch of light very occasional spotting. The binding of volume eight cracked and splitting at the front hinge and most gatherings quite tender as a result. The half title and title page of volume six detached and laid-in, and five further volumes exhibit some tenderness to the front hinges and one a short tear to the upper gutter. A nice bright set, somewhat marred by the aforementioned binding issues, but really very crisp internally. The first collected edition of the author's complete and vastly influential fantasy output, comprising 'Within and Without' and 'A Hidden Life' (volume one), 'Poems', 'The Gospel…
