1859
by MEREDITH, GEORGE
1859. MEREDITH, GEORGE. THE ORDEAL OF RICHARD FEVEREL. A History of Father and Son. London: Chapman and Hall, 1859. 3 vols. 8vo., Original brown cloth, light yellow endpapers. This appears to be a variant with a combination not noted by Collie. The copy in hand brown cloth, with blind-stamped variant decorations on the front and back covers and with the publisher's name at the foot of the spine. This copy is also without the ads. There is a little wear to the spines ends; the left sides of the crown of volumes one and two have very short tears. Occasional spotting and staining scattered throughout, but overall a very good pleasing set in the original cloth. The small, leather book plate of the Rupert Brooks' bibliographer, Richard Montgomery Gilchrist Potter, is on the front pastedown of each volume. Housed in a drop-leaf clam shell box. Scarce in original cloth. (Collie IIIa).
