1883 · London
by Meredith, George
London: Macmillan, 1883. Blue cloth, stamped in gilt. Minor rubbing to head and toe of spine, a few finger smudges to prelim, otherwise very good and bright. Second, corrected edition, published a few weeks after the first edition (see Collie for the full tale). A decent association copy, with the ownership signature of Lionel Johnson, dated 1883 at Winchester, on the first blank. At the time he acquired this volume, Johnson would have been about sixteen years of age. COLLIE XXXVIIIb. (Inventory #: WRCLIT28555)
