Trollope, Anthony
The Warden [RARE 1861 Edition, with the Stated Price being Three Shillings
and Sixpence]; [Still Bound in the Original Cloth]

London: Longman, Green, Longman, and Roberts, 1861. RARE EARLY
EDITION. Hardcover.
A Very Good or better copy of "The Warden" being the 1861 Edition of
Anthony Trollope's fourth novel, the first of his novels to be set in the
Cathedral town of Barchester and quite notably being the first of
Trollope's novels to receive a positive reception by literary critics and
being the first novel in Trollope's famed Barsetshire Chronicles. "The
Warden" is centered on an institution called Hiram's Hospital which houses
a dozen old men. The institution was created by a 15th Century Foundation
attached to Barchester Cathedral over which the Bishop presides. The
Foundation provided for a specified income to be paid to each of the
Hospital's residents from the revenue generated by the Foundation's real
estate, with the balance to be paid to the Warden for his service. The
Warden, Septimus Harding, and his widowed daughter live nearby and, as the
Centuries passed and as the real property values had increased greatly,
particularly those portions of the property that had been leased out, the
consequent balance paid as income to the Warden also increased, thereby
providing him with a significant income. A young suitor of the Warden's
daughter became convinced that the Foundation's financial affairs were
being mismanaged, demanded a public accounting, and brought a suit to
revise the relevant financial arrangements. His cause was adopted by The
Jupiter, a newspaper, and therein loudly proclaimed, bringing great
consternation to some members of the Barsetshire clergy, particularly to
Archdeacon Grantly. Of The Warden, Walpole stated: "The Warden is essential
to every lover of Trollope because it is in these pages that he meets for
the first time two of the great figures in English fiction, Mr. Harding and
Archdeacon Grantly." Of "The Warden", Henry James wrote: "Trollope had no
time to give his tale a classic roundness, yet there is (in spite of an
extraordinary defect) something of that quality in the thing that first
revealed him. The Warden was published in 1855, it made a great impression,
and when, in 1857, Barchester Towers followed it, every one saw that
English literature had a novelist the more.... Trollope had lived long
enough in the world to learn a good deal about it; and his maturity of
feeling and evidently large knowledge of English life were for much in the
effect by the two clerical tales. It was easy to see that he would take up
room. What he had picked up, to begin with, was a comprehensive various
impression of the Clergy of the Church of England and the manners and
feelings that prevail in cathedral towns. This, for a while, was his
specialty, and, as always happens in such cases, the public was disposed to
prescribe to him that path. He knew about bishops, prebendaries,
precentors, and about their wives and daughters. He knew what these
dignitaries say to each other when they are collected together, aloof from
secular ears. He even knew what sort of talk goes on between a bishop and a
bishop's lady when the august couple are shrouded in the privacy of the
episcopal bedroom. This knowledge, somehow, was rare and precious. No one
had, as of yet, been bold enough to snatch the illuminating torch from the
very summit of the altar..... There is no ecclesiastical figure ... so good
as the first creation of this sort so happy as the admirable Mr. Harding.
The Warden is a delightful tale, and a signal instance of Trollope's habit
of offering us the spectacle of a character. A motive more delicate, more
slender, as well as more charming, could scarcely be conceived. It is
simply the history of an old man's conscience....The Subject of The Warden,
exactly viewed is the opposition of the two natures of Archdeacon Grantly
and Mr. Harding, and there is nothing finer in all Trollope than the
vividness with which this opposition is presented....we remember, while it
was still something of a novelty, to have heard a judicious critic that it
had much of the charm of The Vicar of Wakefield." The Warden is a
stand-alone work and can be read as such, but it also serves as a prologue
to Trollope's next novel, "Barchester Towers". This copy, being a later,
but still quite early, edition was issued in pink boards and is dated 1861.
While Sadlier mentions copies subsequent to the 1855 first edition
including a presumed 1858 edition, an 1859,1866, 1870 and an 1886 edition
at different prices, he does not mention this 1861 edition. Given the
foregoing, we presume that he never saw this 1861 edition issued at three
shillings and sixpence, indicating that it is quite scarce. [NOTE: The
first subsequent edition is described by Sadlier as follows: "The Warden
was not reprinted in its original form. Some of the first edition sheets
were cut down (probably in the spring of 1858) to 4 3/4 x 7 1/8 and issued
at 3s. 6d. in pink linen boards, black printed as by "Anthony Trollope,
author of The Three Clerks. The back of the book was printed with reviews
of the five-shilling new edition of Barchester Towers, and the words "New
Edition" printed on the spine." As this 1861 edition was issued in pink
boards (now faded) and at the same price as was the first subsequent
edition mentioned above, and as it bears the advertisements for "Barchester
Towers" to the rear board mirroring those on the 1859 first subsequent
edition, we speculate that additional unused sheets were found and this
1861 copy issued. The front board and spine of this 1861 edition also
mirror those of the 1859 first subsequent edition with one minor exception:
the 1861's front board's bottom edge lacks a line of type which appears on
the 1859 edition. This copy of "The Warden" is at least EXTRAORDINARILY
SCARCE AND LIKELY RARE. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OTHER COPY OF it in over 45
years of our diligent search for Trollope rarities. In that context, we
note that the pink cloth of the binding has faded but is most visible on
the volume's rear board, the volume is mildly askew and shows soiling and
signs of use, and the lower right of the front board shows some minor
wrinkling to the cloth, and a prior seller's notes in pencil appear on the
front free endpaper's verso. There is wear to the volume's spine ends and
leading board corners. ALTOGETHER, THIS IS A RARE AND NOTABLE COPY OF A
HIGHLY NOTABLE EARLY TROLLOPE WORK, the novel that launched him on his
highly successful career as a novelist. Very good or better / very good.

Howells, William Dean [Howells, W. D.]
The Mother and the Father [In the Rare Dust Jacket]

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1909. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover.
A Fine copy of the first edition, first printing of this long Poem by
William Dean Howells bound in the Publisher's original green cloth with the
front board lettered in gilt and decorated in blind and the spine lettered
in gilt, with sharp corners showing only a touch of rubbing and with the
closed page block's top edge in gilt. The hard-to-find price-clipped yellow
dust jacket shows some tiny chips and tears to the edges and some general
soiling. The Volume contains a tissue-guarded frontispiece and three
additional illustrations. Of this work, the American Review of Reviews
stated: "William Dean Howells... has given us an exquisite poem which,
while neither rhyme nor strictly blank verse, is of the real Victorian
flavor. It is entitled "The Mother and the Father", and it gives in simple,
direct, delicately intuitive sentences a description of the three momentous
hours in the story of a wife and husband: the birth of their child, the
hour of her marriage, and the hour of her death. The range of joy and
sorrow in these dramatic passages is set forth in Mr. Howells' own masterly
way." The highly influential Author, Critic, and Playwright William Dean
Howells (1837-1920), called "The Dean of American Letters" was both a
prolific author and, from 1871 to 1881, the editor of the Atlantic Monthly
magazine. [Howells dust jackets of the 1900-1910 period are quite scarce
(much scarcer than Twain jackets in that period). These yellow Harper
jackets are notoriously brittle and, when present, are usually found
incomplete and with a good amount of wear and tear. However, this dust
jacket is quite nearly complete and is one of the best of these yellow
Howell dust jackets that we ever have seen. [PLEASE NOTE: The two images of
the book lying flat make it appear to be brighter than it is.] A Fine copy
in a Very Good example of the RARE dust jacket. Fine / very good. Item #3601

Trollope, Anthony
The Last Chronicle of Barset, With thirty-two illustrations by George H.
Thomas. [Bound from the Original Parts]

London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1867. Hardcover. A Very Good + copy of the
First edition, First Issue, bound from the original parts (without the
advertisements found in the original wrappered Parts; with the Publisher's
rights printed on the verso of both title pages (omitted from verso of
title page in vol. 2 for the book form edition) with the plate facing p.
297 of Volume with the semicolon present after "Hoggle-Stockians" (missing
in the bound edition), and the plate facing p. 370 spelling "Consent" with
a capital "C". On Page 157 of Volume I the final "D" of the running
headline is perfect (it appears broken in the second edition), and in
Volume 2, p. 298 line 21, third word is "Crawley" (which was changed to
"Toogood" in the second edition). The leaves have been rebound in 3/4 blue
leather with coordinated blue cloth, the closed page blocks, the
pastedowns, and the facing side of each free endpaper of each Volume is
marbled as well. Each volume's binding shows some imperfections due to age
and use, and a number of the leaves show tiny chips to their leading edges.
This work is the last of the six (6) Trollope novels in his wonderful
Barsetshire series of novels, and of this final installment Trollope
stated: "I regard this as the best novel I have written." The novel is
centered around a devout Clergymen, Josiah Crawley, and an allegation made
against him that he had stolen a check. The tale also covers the death of
quite unpleasant Mrs. Proudie, the then-Bishop's wife, and the Bishop's
consequent release from her thralldom. Of Trollope, Henry James stated:
"His [Trollope's] great, his inestimable merit was a complete appreciation
of the usual. ... [H]e felt all daily and immediate things as well as saw
them; felt them in a simple, direct, salubrious way, with their sadness,
their gladness, their charm, their comicality, all their obvious and
measurable meanings. ... Trollope will remain one of the most trustworthy,
though not one of the most eloquent, of the writers who have helped the
heart of man to know itself. ... A race is fortunate when it has a good
deal of the sort of imagination—of imaginative feeling—that had fallen to
the share of Anthony Trollope; and in this possession our English race is
not poor." A QUITE SCARCE COPY BOUND FROM THE ORIGINAL PARTS in which the
tale was first issued to the public. Very good +. Item #3362

Williams, Tennessee [Williams III, Thomas Lanier]
The 1932 Savitar A History of the University of Missouri for the Year
1931-1932 [First Appearance of any Tennessee Williams Poem in book form --
and possibly the first appearance by him of any work in any published
book]; [Annual/Yearbook for the University of Missouri]

Columbia, MO: University of Missouri, 1932. First Edition, First
Printing. Hardcover.
An overall Very Good + copy of the first edition, first printing, of the
Savitar, the 1931 -1932 Annual (or Yearbook) for the University of
Missouri, published in 1932. The volume is in Very Good condition with a
stamp and ownership signature to the front pastedown and some rubbing and
wear to the covers, but is easily in better condition than the few other
copies that we have seen over the past several decades with pages
(including the tissue guards) being bright and clean. This unsophisticated
volume contains seven (7) tissue guards, one located prior to each "Book"
within. Thomas Lanier Williams (generally known by his pen name "Tennessee
Williams") attended the University of Missouri from 1929 to 1931. While
there, Williams joined the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. While he did not fit
in well at his Fraternity, being a member of it led to his obtaining the
name by which he later came to fame as it was during his time there that
his fraternity brothers dubbed him "Tennessee" for his rich southern drawl.
His earliest writings named him as Thomas Lanier Williams, but he published
his later, and famous, works under his "new" name "Tennessee Williams".
This issue of Savitar contains the first of his Poems to be published in
book form and is (as far as we have been able to determine) his first
published Poem and the first publication of any work by him in book form.
The Poem is therein printed on page 249 under the title "Not Without
Knowledge" (some may identify the Poem as "The Kiss"). No other text is
located on that page. His Fraternity is featured on page 224 where he is
named as "Thomas L. Williams" of Saint Louis and the Class of 1933, but his
image does not appear. Under his Poem on page 249, he is identified as
"Thomas Lanier Williams", a member of the "Missouri Chapter of the College
Poetry Society." Thus we have hear a quite scarce copy of the first
appearance of any work by the renowned writer in book form (and also
perhaps the first appearance in any form of any published Poem by him)
issued by the institution where his famous name "Tennessee" was born but
not published. QUITE SCARCE INDEED. Very good. Item #3424

Price: $850.00  TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE AT $225.


[Churchill, Winston]
DUNKIRK TO BERLIN: A MAP OF THE HISTORIC WARTIME JOURNEYS UNDERTAKEN BY THE
RIGHT HON. SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL, IN DEFENSE OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH
AND EMPIRE

Great Britain: George Philip & Son Ltd in Association with “Time and Tide”,
 1956. First Edition, First Printing. Folded thick paper map in Slipcase. A
Very Good or better copy of this remarkable map issued to World Books
members to commemorate the completion of publication of the Reprint Society
Edition of the Churchill War Memoirs. A very large colour map printed on
heavy folding stock, beautifully decorated and featuring views of warships
and aircraft and with a bright and beautifully colour legend explaining the
journeys with fine text in an engraved style -- showing a pair of short
closed tears, one from the top edge along the top center fold extending
approximately 2 and 11/16th inches with a small one slightly below it, both
repaired by archival tape on the maps blank verso. This large multi-folding
coloured map is preserved in the publisher’s pictorially decorated and
as-issued, unsophisticated slipcase and showing only minor to modest wear
and certainly the best box we ever have seen containing this map. The map
shows a small smudge to the bottom blank margin and one to the blank verso.
The impressive map is roughly 44 inches wide by 36 inches tall. A handsome
copy of the hard to find and impressive map, the colours bright and fresh,
and the best slipcase for the map that we ever have seen (showing only
light wear and scattered light stains, presumably from water). Both the map
and its slipcase are remarkable survivors. This map provides a SCARCE
VISUAL RECORD OF CHURCHILL’S HISTORIC WORLD WAR II JOURNEYS, travels he
took as the Prime Minister in defense of Britain during the period of
1940-1945 and the means by which travels were made. Presented in full color
are his journeys to numerous political conferences from New York to Moscow,
beginning with the “Atlantic Charter” of 1941, which was the product of his
meeting at sea with Roosevelt that established the general desire on both
sides for a democratic, progressive postwar world. After a number of
intercontinental circuits the map brings his journeys to an end at the
Potsdam Conference of 1945, the historic meeting of the “Big Three,” the
U.S., Britain, and Russia, represented by United States President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, and Russian
Dictator Joseph Stalin to negotiate postwar treatment of Germany in terms
of their demilitarization, requirement of reparations, etc. The map shows
Churchill’s journey from Bordeaux to Berlin and then ultimately back to
England. In addition, it also illustrates Churchill’s 1944 tours of the
beaches of Normandy and the invasion coasts of Italy and Southern France.
Featured at the bottom are detailed color illustrations of his traveling
crafts, including the ships “King George V” and “Queen Mary” and the
remarkable B.O.A.C. Flying Boat “Berwick.” This map is becoming
increasingly scarce and is a visually stunning summation of the extensive
efforts of Churchill to help Britain prevail during this monumental war and
ultimately bring them to victory. REMARKABLY SCARCE TO THE MARKET,
ESPECIALLY IN THE ORIGINAL SLIPCASE. [PLEASE NOTE: Additional images can be
found on our Allington Antiquarian Books site.]. Very good + / No Dust
Jacket - As Issued. Item #3625

Cross, J. W. [Cross, John Walter]; [Evans, Mary Ann, a/k/a George Eliot]
George Eliot's Life as related in her Letters and Journals; Arranged and
Edited by her Husband

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1885. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover.
A Fine set of the first American edition of this work by and of George
Eliot published after her death based on her life, letters, and journals,
with this work created by her surviving husband, J. W. Cross, and published
in 1885 following her death on December 22, 1880. The set wears its
original green binding with the front boards lettered in gilt and the

her death. "George Eliot" is the pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans, one of the
most important authors of the Victorian Era, wrote Scenes of Clerical Life
(her first book - a collection of three (3) stories, Adam Bede, The Mill on
the Floss; Silas Marner; Romola; Felix Holt, The Radical; Middlemarch; and
Daniel Deronda. This work covers Eliot's life from age 19 until shortly
before her death and, among other things, includes her correspondence with
the Publisher Blackwood & Sons, and with other important persons of her era
including Charles Dickens, Lord Lytton, J. A. Froude, Stowe, Jane Carlyle,
and numerous others. Fine. Item #3505

Trollope, Anthony; Millais, John Everett [Illustrations]
Orley Farm [at least partially bound from the Original Parts]

London: Chapman and Hall, 1862. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. A
Very Good copy of the first edition (showing rubbing to the boards and some
scratching and rubbing to the spines -- top edge of each volume's closed
page block in gilt) with each volume having the bookplate of Dorothy Ripley
on its front pastedown, apparently a mixed issue, bound at least partly
from the Original Parts. Located twenty-five (25) miles from London, Orley
Farm was the home of Lady Mason and her son Lucius. The Farm's ownership
was in Sir Joseph Mason. Upon his death, he left his elder son a
substantial inheritance but, in a late codicil of his Will, he made Lucius
--the son of his then second wife -- the heir of the Orley Farm property.
After coming to ownership of the property, Lucius canceled some of the
leases, including that of Samuel Dockwrath, a shyster lawyer. His older son
(born of his first, now deceased wife), was convinced by Dockwrath to
contest the codicil of Sir Joseph's Will whereby Lucius had inherited the
farm. The young widow was accused of forging the codicil, giving rise to a
case being made against her. As to the novel Trollope in his Autobiography
stated: "Most of those among my friends...who are competent to form an
opinion on the subject, say that this is the best I have written....The
plot...is probably the best I have ever made; but it has the fault of
declaring itself, and thus coming to an end too early in the book....The
hunting is good. The Lawyers talk is good. Mr. Moulder carves his turkey
admirably, and Mr. Kantwise sells his tables and chairs with spirit. I do
not know that there is a dull page in the book." The illustrations are by
John Everett Millais and notably the frontispiece depicts a real place,
Julian Hill at Harrow in which Trollope lived as a boy and Trollope
declared it in his Autobiography to be: "Just as it was when we lived
there". When examining this set, one finds stab holes (a feature of the
first edition's first state) in multiple leaves. However, the volumes may
be too tightly bound to reveal all of them. However, the last illustration
in Volume II has a caption (Sadlier calls the underlining) different that
listed by Sadlier in his Bibliography of Trollope's works, causing the
writer of this description to concluded that Volume II (and possibly, but
not definitely, Volume I) are, while firsts, are at least partly in a later
state of the first edition. A worn, but still a Very Good set produced, at
least in part, from the Novel's issuance in the Original Parts. Very good /
very good. Item #3465

Knox, William
Oh, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud?

Boston; New York: Lee and Shepard; Charles T. Dillingham, 1877. Humphrey,
L. B. First Edition. Hardcover. A Very Good or better copy of the first
edition, first printing, bound in the Publisher's original purple cloth and
wears in a good example of the dust jacket. The volume contains a noted
Poem by William Knox which focuses on Mortality and which is said to have
been Abraham Lincoln's favorite Poem. Of the Poem Lincoln once stated: "".
Lincoln's own handwritten (by him) copy of the Poem is held by the Western
Heritage Museum at the University of Oklahoma. So often did Lincoln recited
the Poem from memory that many hearing him thought that it was his own
Poem. Of the Poem, Lincoln (in 1846) himself stated: "I would give all I am
worth and go into debt to be able to write so fine a piece as I think that
is." Having been protected by the QUITE SCARCE DUST JACKET, the volume's
binding is in Very Good or better condition, and, while showing some wear
to the spine ends and leading board corners, remains in a bright and clean
condition. The dust jacket itself shows wear and spotting and a gift note
written in pencil to the front panel. The front flap, although detached,
remains loosely laid in. Within, the front and rear end papers show
moderate foxing. The tissue guard to the decorative half title page is
heavily foxed (and a small piece from the tissue guard has been torn off)
and such half-title page shows less, foxing. The title page and the text
itself shows only minor foxing. The volume's spine is lettered and banded
in gilt and the front board is attractively decorated in gilt and black
and, in that it retains its dust jacket, it remains a REMARKABLE COPY. Very
good + / good. Item #3407
