    Rare first editions, first issue of one of Trollope's most important novels. Octavo, original cloth, blind stamped boards. Half-title present in Volume I, brick-red endpapers with advertisements. Sadleir 5. Bookplates of Oliver Brett on front free endpapers and of Duff Cooper on versos. In near fine condition. Each volume is housed in a three quarter calf clamshell box. Uncommon set in the original cloth of one of Trollope's most important novels. Barchester Towers is the second novel in Trollope's series known as the "Chronicles of Barsetshire". Among other things it satirises the antipathy in the Church of England between High Church and Evangelical adherents. Trollope began writing this book in 1855. He wrote constantly and made himself a writing-desk so he could continue writing while travelling by train. "Pray know that when a man begins writing a book he never gives over", he wrote in a letter during this period. "The evil with which he is beset is as inveterate as drinking â" as exciting as gambling." In his autobiography, Trollope observed "In the writing of Barchester Towers I took great delight. The bishop and Mrs. Proudie were very real to me, as were also the troubles of the archdeacon and the loves of Mr. Slope". When he submitted his finished work, his publisher, William Longman, initially turned it down, finding much of it to be full of "vulgarity and exaggeration." Recent critics offer a more sanguine opinion, "Barchester Towers is many readers' favorite Trollope", wrote The Guardian, which included it in its list of "1000 novels everyone must read.".

    2 volumes. First edition, with the first printing points "hobbledehoya" page. 33, line 1 and page 70 paginated as "0." in Volume I. With the provenance of William Marchbank with his armorial bookplate. With eighteen illustrations on plates by J. E. Millais, R.A. Tall 8vos, in the publisher's original textured green cloth, all boards handsomely embossed in blind in botanic motif, the upper covers with a large central gilt vignette featuring lettering and floral vines around caged birds, the spines beautifully gilt lettered and decorated in fine Victorian style in a country motif, with brown endpapers printed with ads in black. Now housed in a green cloth slipcase. iv, 312; iv, 316 pp. A very bright and attractive copy well preserved in original state, the text very fresh and clean, a little inconsequential evidence of age or mellowing at the prelims or endleaves, the cloth with a little expected rubbing or age evidence but still very bright with bright gilt, in all a very handsome set of a book seldom found in its original cloth, much less in bright collector's condition. AN EXTREMELY APPEALING COPY, FRESH AND BRIGHT AND CLEAN OF A BOOK SADLEIR SAYS IS TYPICALLY FOUND "EXCEPTIONALLY DIRTY". We are very pleased to point out how well this copy stands as the exception to that rule. This is the fifth of Trollope's Barsetshire novels and was written at the height of his creative powers and popularity. It follows two of his best-loved heroines, Lillian and Bell Dale. It concerns the Dale family, who live in the "Small House", a dower house intended for the widowed mother of the owner of the estate. As with all of Trollope's novels, this one contains many sub-plots and numerous minor characters. Plantagenet Palliser makes his first appearance, as he contemplates a dalliance with Griselda Grantly, the now-married Lady Dumbello, daughter of the Archdeacon introduced earlier in the Chronicles of Barsetshire. "SMALL HOUSE" also continues Trollope's association with artist John Millais. Millais displays on this occasion a refined style with finer detailing and more confidence then we saw last in "ORLEY FARM".

    Edwards, M. Ellen (illustrator). [fine and bright] With Sixteen Illustrations by M. Ellen Edwards. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1867. 2 pp undated ads in each volume. Original green cloth elaborately decorated in black and gilt, board edges beveled. First Edition of these adventures of Harry Clavering, beginning with Julia Brabazon jilting him in favor of a wealthy old debauchee. It is a novel of atmosphere, and the atmosphere is of that sort very dangerous for the English novelist.; the green-lighted, close-scented gambling rooms, the shabby adventures of half-deserted spas, the shelving beaches of foreign watering-places, concealed accents, stolen passports, impoverished counts and impertinent ladies' maids. [Walpole, quoted in Gerould] Trollope himself later recalled that "I consider the story as a whole to be good, though I am not aware that the public ever corroborated that verdict." There were no subsequent two-volume editions following this first one. Sadleir notes two very similar binding variants: one (presumably earlier) with the front covers and spines stamped in gilt and in black, and the other identical except that the black-stamping is replaced by blind-stamping. This copy is in between -- a variant not noted by Sadleir: there is black-and-gold-stamping on the spines, but gold-and-blind-stamping on the front covers (there is always just blind-stamping on the rear covers). Condition is remarkably fine and bright, with the only flaws being a tiny rubbed spot at the foot of Volume I's spine, and one slightly cracked (original) coffee-brown endpaper. Sadleir (TROLLOPE) 27; Wolff 6771 (with cloth stamping identical to this set's). Housed in a handsome morocco-backed slipcase with black leather labels, with inner chemise. Provenance (in addition to binder Burn's ticket in Vol I and Glasgow bookseller MacLehose's ticket in Vol II): bookplates of Philadelphian Moncure Biddle (1882-1956), whose library was sold at Parke-Bernet Galleries in 1952 (lot 749), plus bookplates of "Yardley.".

    3 volumes. First edition. 8vo, original publisher's brown cloth, the boards decorated in blind, the spines sometime very expertly rebacked but retaining the original blind-decorated and gilt lettered spine panels. Now housed in a very handsome custom clamshell box of marbled paper backed in dark brown morocco gilt lettered and banded. iv, 335; iv, 344; iv, 331pp. A very handsome set, the cloth especially well preserved with the restoration done being extremely discreet and unobtrusive, the text much nicer than is typically found, the paper clean and fresh with any spotting being only very occasion and extremely minor, everything tight and sound, a superior copy to set to any other we are aware of currently in commerce. A VERY SCARCE TROLLOPE FIRST EDITION, AND QUITE RARE INDEED. IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH. One of the author's most elusive works, The Bertrams is an unusual novel of world travel, matrimony, money, social strata, and relationships. ".perhaps the most serious objection which can be brought against the book from the point of view of literature is that it is too much like life." - Algar Thorold, 1905. While it may seem odd today for a novel to be criticized for being 'too much like life', for its time The Bertrams has a dark tone, yet, it is scattered with comical minor characters; to us it seems very fresh and modern. It also includes hilarious descriptions of British tourists in the Middle East.

    [inscribed to Cardinal Manning] London: Macmillan and Co., 1879. 2 pp undated ads. Original red cloth decorated in black. First Edition, being the ninth volume in the "English Men of Letters" series edited by John Morley. This copy has the ad leaf in the earliest state, listing nine of the titles (including this one) as "Ready" and SPENSER as "In the Press." Condition is very good (moderate wear at the spine ends, front endpaper cracked). Sadleir (TROLLOPE) 54. This is an inscribed presentation copy from Trollope, with the following inscription in Trollope's hand at the top of the title page: "His Eminence Cardinal Manning | with the author's regards". On the title page there is an inkstamp, and on the front pastedown a bookplate, "Ex Oblatorum S Caroli. Bibliotheca" and bearing the word "humilitas." This was the Oblates of St. Charles, centered at St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church in Bayswater (whose motto is "humilitas"). Quoting from the Manning papers at Emory University, Henry Edward Manning (1808-1892) was one of the most influential English Roman Catholic figures of his time. From his ordination in the Church of England in 1832, through his conversion to Catholicism in 1851, and to his death in 1892, his words and actions were powerful influences in England and in the Roman Catholic Church. Quoting also from the History of St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church, [Following Manning's conversion,] in 1851 Cardinal Wiseman sent his most prestigious convert, Henry Edward Manning, to Bayswater to found a community whose mission would be to revitalize the clergy and faithful in the new diocese of Westminster. Manning drew his inspiration from St Charles Borromeo, who had founded an order of Oblate priests to renew the diocese of Milan in the sixteenth century. Manning founded the Oblates of St Charles at Bayswater, and had considerable success in evangelizing northwest London. In 1865, Manning was made second Archbishop of Westminster, and later Cardinal. As for Trollope, he was raised as a High Church Anglican; he became a mild supporter of the Oxford Movement, and "his experiences in Ireland brought him into a closer sympathy with the Roman Catholic Church. However, he was hardly ready to follow Newman to Rome!" [Niles]. Robert H. Taylor, in "Letters to Trollope" (The Trollopian, Sept. 1946), noted that after Trollope's death (three years after inscribing this book), a leather portfolio was found, containing the thirty letters he had received over the years that he treasured the most; one of Trollope's most-treasured letters was the one from Cardinal Manning thanking him for the gift of this very book. Note: the Oblates of St. Charles continued their ministry at St. Mary's until the mid-1970s, when they were dissolved by Cardinal Heenan. Since that time, numerous volumes from their library (with the same official bookplate and/or inkstamp as appear in this copy) have appeared in the market; we see about a dozen other "ex-Oblates" volumes on the market at the present. It was in 1979 that the future Trollope bibliographer Walter Smith bought this volume from a major dealer.

Trollope's favorite motifs of morality and tradition pitted against selfishness are explored, in a quiet, subtle Victorian setting. A bookplate on the front pastedown.

    Hardcover. Condition: [Varies by item included]. First Edition, First Printing. As noted above, this listing includes (i) a notable work of postal information on London and its Post Office Districts, (ii) an original commemorative Irish stamp featuring Anthony Trollope, and (iii) an ORIGINAL SURVEYOR'S CARD SIGNED BY ANTHONY TROLLOPE (who served as a Postal Surveyor in Ireland, the place where he first came to happiness after having a miserable youth during which he had thought about suicide). The book itself is quite uncommon to the market and the Surveyor card [to which someone later added "Novelist" in red ink] is QUITE SCARCE and is ABSOLUTELY RARE WHEN SIGNED BY TROLLOPE.London was first divided into postal districts in 1857-1858, to a plan devised by Sir Rowland Hill in 1856 a circle of roughly twelve miles radius from the General Post Office in St. Martin's-le-Grand being split into ten districts, "each to be treated, in many respects, as a separate town". The present alphabetical index and guide first appeared in 1856, but for this edition was furnished with maps of the districts, converting it into one of the very earliest London street atlases. A folding index map covers the whole area, followed by individual maps of the whole of the Eastern Central (EC) and Western Central (WC) districts, and further maps of the innermost portions of the Northern, North Eastern, Eastern, South Eastern, Southern, South Western, Western, and North Western districts these corresponding approximately to the modern head districts N1, E1, SE1, SW1, W1 and NW1. The North Eastern and Southern districts were abolished in the 1860s following a report by Anthony Trollope hence no modern S or NE London postcodes. The volume contains one folding and ten single-page maps, the rectos only included in pagination. There is an index with alphabetical thumb-guides to the notable leaves and the volume is bound in the original drab printed boards (or perhaps wrappers), neatly rebacked in a match of the original sheep. While the leaves show some occasional mild spotting, this remains a very good copy of the work. The front pastedown bears an ownership inscription of W. M. King "Northern District of Scotland". In addition to the practical importance of this postal system, the relationship between its creator, Sir Rowland Hill, and the great Victorian Author Anthony Trollope is notable. We quote from John A. Cannon (as stated in The Oxford Companion to British History): Hill, Sir Rowland (17951879). Inventor of penny postage. Hill was born in Kidderminster, son of a schoolmaster and pioneer of shorthand. He took over his father's school and instituted a novel system of discipline, involving the boys as assessors. After 1828 he abandoned teaching, experimented with a number of inventions, and in 1835 became secretary to a commission to colonize south Australia. He then became interested in the postal service, which was so prohibitively expensive that the revenue of the Post Office was falling in a period of rapid population growth and commercial expansion. Hill suggested pre-payment of the postage set at a standard delivery charge irrespective of distance, and the use of an adhesive stamp. A pamphlet of 1837 attracted attention and penny postage was adopted in 1839. Hill was put in charge but met with vast obstruction from within the Post Office and was dismissed in 1842. Reinstated by Russell in 1846, he held office until 1864. He was knighted in 1860 and Gladstone said of his reform that it had 'run like wildfire through the civilized world'. Anthony Trollope, who worked at the Post Office with Hill, was less flattering, calling him: 'a hard taskmaster who had little understanding of the ways of men it was a pleasure for me to differ from him on all occasions.' Trollope, in his Autobiography, stated of Hill: "At this time I did not stand very well with the dominant interest at the General Post Office. My old friend Colonel Maberly had been, some time since, squeezed into, and his place was filled by Mr. Rowland Hill, the.

    32pp cata. (Jan. 1861). Contemp. half maroon morocco, spine with raised gilt bands. v.g. See Trollope Society Catalogue 7. This copy with Presentation Inscription, 'Blanche Thwaites - From the Author'. Comparison with Trollope's hand confirms that that the inscription is by the author himself, and not made on his behalf. The identity of Blanche Thwaites remains uncertain. Bound into the following e.ps, a manuscript transcription of Alaric Watts' alliterative poem, 'An Austrian Army awfully arrayed.'. It is in a similar hand to Trollope's, but cannot be categorically attributed to him.
