[Rarebooks] FS: A handful of Conrads for you

[Pia Oliver]

We are pleased to offer:



CONRAD, Joseph. Five Letters by Joseph Conrad Written to Edward Noble 
in 1895. London: Privately printed, 1925. Octavo, printed wrappers. 
Very light soiling of wrappers, fine. One of 100 copies signed by 
Noble. $300.00

CONRAD, Joseph. One Day More. A Play in One Act. (Westminster: 
Beaumont Press, 1919). Octavo, blue and yellow original decorated 
boards, vellum gilt lettered spine, printed paper label on front 
cover. A little bowed, lower corners slightly bumped, paper over 
boards starting to split at lower edge by join to vellum spine, 
albeit a fine copy. First published edition. One of 24 copies on 
Japanese vellum, signed by Conrad.
One Day More  is Conrad's dramatization of his story Tomorrow, which 
first appeared in Pall Mall Magazine, August 1902, and was then 
included in Typhoon and Other Stories. The dramatized version was 
first published in The English Review, August 1913. This edition uses 
the text from that first appearance, thus not incorporating any of 
the few alterations found in the pamphlet printed by Shorter. [Cagle 
A20b(2).  Keating 51.  Wise 27].	$3,500.00

CONRAD, Joseph. An Outcast of the Islands. New York: D. Appleton, 
1896. Octavo, original green cloth  blind-stamped in black and red, 
spine gilt-lettered and stamped in black. Spine very lightly browned, 
inscription in ink on front free endpaper, fine. First U.S. edition.
Passages depicting love making between Willems and Aissa were removed 
from this edition because the title was intended for inclusion in  a 
family library series. The American editors supplied their own 
linking passages where necessary! Appleton reprinted this text once 
in 1921, after which the plates were purchased by Doubleday, Page, 
which reprinted the novel in 1916, 1917, and 1922, before discarding 
the plates in favor of their Sun-Dial Edition setting of the text. 
[Cagle A2b(2), binding a.  Keating 6].	$650.00

CONRAD, Joseph. A Personal Record. New York: Harper &  Brothers, 
1912. Octavo, original dark blue cloth, gilt-lettered spine and 
cover. Spine slightly browned, slight rubbing of top and bottom of 
spine and lower corners, very trifling browning of endpapers, else a 
fine copy. First U.S. edition.
This was set from uncorrected proofs of the Nash first English 
edition, causing many textual variations between the two editions. 
This version of the text was not reprinted. [Cagle A15c, binding a. 
Keating 94].	$175.00

CONRAD, Joseph. The Point of Honor. A Military Tale. New York:

The stories included in this posthumous volume are The Warrior's 
Soul, Prince Roman, The Tale  and The Black Mate, all of which had 
been privately printed between 1917 and 1922. The title of the 
collection is apparently one which Conrad himself had planned to use 
for a future collection of short stories. [Keating 193.  Smith 27].

later tipped into some copies, at Conrad's insistence. Although it 
was to have been tipped in to all copies, Cagle reports that in his
