MISBOUND COPY. Early printing (1883 date at foot of title page with 1879 and 1883 copyrights on verso). PART I and PART II bound within single book. Paged as [6], 1-155, [9], 1-145. Hardcover: H 17.25cm x L 11.5cm. Contemporary (late 19th century) half-leather binding; spine's surface leather mostly perished with past owner's gilt stamped name "Holstein" in surviving remnant leather portion at heel; dark paper over boards with leather worn corners; both boards only tenuously attached to text block at joints/hinges. Ink ownership inscription "W.S. Holstein" on front flyleaf; Holstein's faded pencil signature on ffep and on Part I's title page. Part II's original muted brownish-red front cover/wrapper bound-in but rear wrapper not present (Part I has neither wrapper). Text block binding remains firm. PART I supposed to be comprised of "Madame Delphine," "Cafe Des Exiles," and "Belles Demoiselles Plantation" with PART II comprised of "Posson Jone," "Jean-Ah Poquelin," "'Tite Poulette," "'Sieur George," and "Madame Delicieuse." Unfortunate binder's error so that leaves of Part II are inserted in Part I and vice-versa. So collation runs as follows: "Madame Delphine" pages 1-74, "'Tite Poulette" pages 75-95, 'Sieur George" pages 97-119, "Madame Delicieuse" pages 121-155; "Posson Jone" pages 1-27, "Jean-Ah Poquelin" pages 29-61, "'Tite Poulette" pages 63-74, "Madame Delphine" pages 75-81, "Cafe Des Exiles" pages 83-117, "Belles Demoiselles Plantation" pages 119-145. All stories are complete but with Madame Delphine" and "'Tite Poulette" with their pages mis-sequenced. Sold as is. {Literature-Shelf#3}. …
