About This Item

Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, [Undated]. [Edition Unstated]. Hardcover. Very good/very good. A Very Good copy of the undated Alta edition of this famous work issued by Porter & Coates. The binding is in Very Good or better condition and shows minor rubbing to the spine ends and to each board's leading corners. The first (rear) free endpaper shows damage near the gutter. While undated, the front free endpaper bears a presentation inscription dated 1892 (as well as and prior seller's price in pencil). First published in 1857, the tale, set in the 1830s tells of Rugby School, an English boys school, with much of it centered on the author's experiences there, with the Tom Brown character being based on the author's brother, George Hughes. The volume is illustrated by a frontispiece, decorative initial chapter letters, and fancy illustrations at the end of each chapters, was the basis for the a number of television and film productions, and influenced the genre of British school novels. The present copy wears its EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE 19th Century Dust Jacket, making this the earliest example of this title in jacket that we ever have seen.
