About This Item
London: William Tait, 1846. First edition. First edition. Scarce original publisher's red pebbled cloth with gilt lettering and florets on spine, original yellow endsheets. Hafl-title present. Presentation, inscribed by the author on half-title: "Mary Armstrong, from the Author." This copy does not contain the illustrations. Near the end of the press run, the publisher actually ran out of illustrations, but continued publication, adding copies that did not contain the illustrations. No priority as relates to issue or state has been determined whether the book contains the illustrations or not. Curiously, contains the holograph corrections on p.11, but the correction on p.63 is truncated, only crossing out the word "formed" and and adding the word "and" just after "Things arcane:" Laid in are two woodcuts of the same image by Scott, from his estate, from his 1854 book, "Poems of a Painter," passed down to William Fredeman. Near fine. Scarce thus.
