Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1899. ALTA Edition. Hardcover. Jules Verne,
To the North Pole, Philadelphia, Porter & Coates, c. 1888. ALTA edition,
very good copy with some slant to volume and a few nicks to the front

works on the jacket verso with the latest title listed thereon indicating
an 1888 printing as the last title published that year.  A decent copy of
this Verne Work WEARING ITS RARE NINETEENTH CENTURY DUST JACKET, PERHAPS
ONE OF THE FEW CHANCES COLLECTORS EVER WILL HAVE TO ACQUIRE ONE IN ANY
COND written in pencil on the relevant title page -- with that in Volume I
having been somewhat erased. "The Prime Minister" is the fourth of
Trollope's Palliser novels [Can You Forgive Her? (1864); Phineas Finn
(1869); Phineas Redux (1874); The Prime Minister (1876); The Eustace
Diamonds (1873); and The Duke's Children (1879)]. Generally referred to as
The Parliamentary Novels, they overlapped his Barsetshire novels, and were
dramatization and broadcast by the BBC as The Pallisers. Of "The Prime
Minister", Trollope stated: "I had never yet drawn the completed picture of
such as statesman as my imagination had conceived.... He should have rank
and, intellect, and parliamentary habits, by which to bind him to the
service of his country; and he should have unblemished, inextinguishable,
inexhaustible love of country...as the ruling principle of his life and it
should so rule him that all other things should be made to give way to
it.... Such as character I have endeavored to depict in describing the
triumph, the troubles, and the failure of my Prime Minister." It is, in our
opinion, a wonderful Trollope novel and this is a wonderful copy with an
excellent shelf presence. Fine. Item #3511
