Descripción

Four late nineteenth century novels bound together, including the fifth edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde', published in the same year as the first edition. A thrilling collection of four Victorian era novels.Most excitingly, this collection of four novels includes the 1886 fifth edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic gothic tale 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde', published in the same year as the first edition.Retaining the original half title, and terminal advertisement leaf.Also present in this collection is Irish writer John Shaw's vanishingly scarce 1888 novel 'The Golden Halcombes', published in Belfast. Only one institutionally held copy of this work is recorded, at Queen's University Belfast.Emma Marshall's scarce novel 'The Old Gateway or The Story of Agatha' also appears in this collection. An 1890 'New Edition' of this work, which was first published in 1867. Illustrated with a frontispiece.The final work present is the first edition of J. Maclaren Cobban's sensation novel 'Tinted Vapours: A Nemesis', dated 1885 by the British Library. His science fiction works include 'Master of His Fate' and 'Tyrants of Kool-Sim'.Each work bears a contemporary ink inscription to the title page head, and a pencil inscription to the title page tail.With a handwritten list of titles to the front free endpaper.An excellent collection. In a full clot binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail. Rear joint starting, with board firmly held. Hinges strained, but firmly held. Inscription to front free endpaper.
