Seller: Jarndyce, The 19th Century Booksellers, London, United Kingdom
Text in two columns; rather closely trimmed in outer margin, with sl. loss of text in places, not obscuring meaning. Contemp. half red morocco; spine chipped at head & tail. Warner's enormously successful sentimental novel was first published in 1850. It is often described as the first American 'best seller'. This early London edition is not in the BL and not recorded on Copac. Although we feel there must be others, we can locate only one other title in Edward Eginton's 'Pocket Library'; Fern Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio, 1853. Cambridge lists another title by this publisher, Henry Curling's The way to win laurels and ladies' favours, 1853, but does not mention the Pocket Library.
