[JAMES, Henry] CARLYLE, Thomas. THOMAS CARLYLE'S COLLECTED WORKS from
the library of Henry James. London: Chapman & Hall, 1870. Original
cloth. Six volumes from the 30-volume set of THOMAS CARLYLE'S COLLECTED
WORKS. Henry James's copy, SIGNED by him on the front free endpaper of
the first volume of OLIVER CROMWELL'S LETTERS. The other 5 volumes, all
uniform in appearance and none of which is signed, include volumes 4 and
5 of the five-volume Cromwell set, volumes 1 and 6 of CRITICAL AND
MISCELLANEOUS ESSAYS, and SARTOR RESARTUS. Leon Edel and Adeline R.
Tintner, authors of THE LIBRARY OF HENRY JAMES, identify Carlyle's
OLIVER CROMWELL LETTERS AND SPEECHES, the 1870 Library Edition, as being
part of the Henry James collection. This title was given an A-FH
designation, indicating that a copy signed by James is known to exist
but its whereabouts are unknown. Edel and Tintner's listings will now
merit a revision. The signed volume shows offsetting to the title pages
with the rear hinge cracked. Front hinge of SARTOR nearly separated.
Textblocks clean and mostly unopened. Moderate shelf wear, spines
uniformly toned with wear at the tips. Overall Good condition.
