Description:
[None Stated]: [None Stated], [1884]. First Edition. No Binding. Very good. A Very Good RARE ORIGINAL WOODBLOCK POSTER for a stage play featuring Peck's Bad Boy. Civil War Veteran, Politician, and Author George Wilbur Peck (1840-1916), who owned a Wisconsin newspaper known as the "Sun", authored a humorous weekly newspaper column which often featured a character of his own invention named Henry "Hennery" Peck who first appeared in 1882. The character was tremendously popular and became known as "Peck's Bad Boy". Peck went on to write a series of books' featuring Hennery Peck who was known for pulling pranks on members of the town, but most especially on his father, for the pure joy of causing trouble and chaos. Peck began writing these stories, which were turned into books as well, in the early 1880s. 'Peck's Bad Boy' became a household name in the United States and was so popular that he entered the American lexicon with the dictionary definition of "Peck's bad boy" being "one whose bad behavior… Read More

London: Isbister and Company, 1882. First Edition. Original cloth. Very good +. A Very Good + copy of Good Words for 1882 in the publisher's original green cloth with some modest wear to the front joint and to the binding's edges, the rear hinge is cracked open. The volume contains the FIRST APPEARANCE OF ANTHONY TROLLOPE'S NOVEL "KEPT IN THE DARK". (The tale contains an illustration by Millais.) Good Words was a monthly magazine first published in 1860 by Alexander Strahan and edited by Norman Macleod. Upon his death, his brother Donald Macleod became the periodical's Editor, and Isbister eventually took over Strahan's publishing enterprises. The magazine was directed at evangelical Protestant Christians as well as those known as "nonconformists" [Protestants who did not conform to the governance and usages of the established church (the Church of England) and who were consequently restricted from many spheres of public life such as public office, civil service careers, and degrees at… Read More

New York: Harper & Brothers, Undated [1866]. First Edition, later impression. Wrappers. Very good. TEMPORARILY DISCOUNTED. WAS $4,250. NOW $1,850. A RARE SURVIVING copy of this VARIANT, LATER, BUT EARLY, IMPRESSION, OF THE RARE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, in the Publisher's original wrappers housing the FIRST EDITION STATE (perhaps, and we think likely, first printing) OF THE TEXT LEAVES of this Anthony Trollope novel first published in the United States on May 6, 1862 and not published in the UK until November, 1870, making this American Edition the TRUE FIRST EDITION OF THIS TROLLOPE NOVEL. The tale centers on a Partnership in a haberdashery amoung Brown (a retired Butter dealer), Jones (Brown's son-in-law), and Robinson (a strong advocate of advertising and an aspirant to the hand of Brown's youngest daughter, Maryanne). Due to Brown's timidity, Jones's embezzlement, and Robinson's extravagance, the Firm went bankrupt. This wrappered copy has been bound in brown half-cloth and marbled… Read More

Description:
New York: Bretano's; Doubleday; and F. Tennyson Neely, [1898 and 1899]. First Editions. Original Cloth and Original Wrappers. Very good +. TEMPORARILY DISCOUNTED. WAS $1,250. NOW $375. A Very Good copy of the TRUE FIRST AMERICAN Separate EDITION (a piracy) [1898] meeting all of the detailed bibliographic requirements of that edition, together with a Near Fine copy of the slightly later First Authorized American separate edition, the first having been published by Bretano's and the first Authorized separate edition published by Dana Estes and Company in 1898. The true first separate edition (which shows a closed tear to the outer margin of one page) precedes the first authorized one and is, in our experience, is -- by quite a bit -- the scarcer of the two. This copy is the first of multiple undated editions of the tale published by Bretano's (of which we have seen several for sale with the same outer appearance but which are not the true first separate American edition), -- with this… Read More

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.

A Very Good copy of the first edition, first printing in the Publisher's original boards (the leading edge of which show some lightening), with each volume wearing the QUITE SCARCE DUST JACKET (each of which shows edgewear and loss), being the only jacketed set we have seen.

He was seen as an intellectual powerhouse and pugnacious and unyielding debater and was such a strong advocate of Darwin's theory of evolution that he was frequently described as "Darwin's Bulldog". Copies of this work in the original dust jackets are quite difficult to find. SCARCE INDEED.
