Complete 2 vol., first edition in book form, half-titles, divisional fly-titles, contemporary ink ownership inscription to half-titles and titles, some light finger soiling to margins, original purple cloth by Edmonds & Remnants (Baker & Ross variant A), sympathetically rebacked with original back-strip laid down (slight wear visible to spine ends), some light scuffing, slipcase ? First edition, one of only 1050 copies printed, of Eliot's first foray into fiction. The collection of three novellas was well-received during its first publication in Blackwood's Magazine in 1857; they explore themes later characteristic of her work and give origin to her 'nom de plume'.
