Wordsworth (William) Lyrical Ballads, with Pastoral and other Poems, 2 vol., vol.1 third edition, vol.2 second edition, with author's cut signature "William Wordsworth Rydal Mount 10th Nov.r 1847" pasted to front free endpaper of vol.1, light browning to a few leaves, small stain to A4 of vol.1, engraved bookplate of Lau.ce A.Waldron, attractive 19th century aquamarine straight-grain morocco with gilt rules, g.e., very slightly rubbed, spines a little faded, 8vo, 1802.⁂ The third edition is important because the famous Preface (which first appeared in the second edition and defines Wordsworth's ideas on poetry, effectively serving as an unofficial manifesto of the Romantic movement) is expanded from 40pp. to 64pp. There are also various changes and textual alterations: one of the five Coleridge poems, 'The Dungeon', is omitted as are two of Wordsworth's, 'A Character' and 'Lines written near Richmond'.

Eliot (George) Felix Holt the Radical, 3 vol., first edition, half-titles, without advertisements, ink ownership inscription of Lady Emma Caroline Wood to vol.2 half-title and vol.3 title, remains of ink stamp to vol.1 title, very occasional light scattered spotting or foxing, original cloth, covers stamped in blind, spines lettered in gilt without publisher's imprint at foot of spine, very light rubbing to tips of spines and corners but a remarkably sharp and fine set overall, [Sadleir 814; Woolf 2058], 1866; and a 4 vol. 1873 set of Middlemarch in cloth in similar condition, 8vo (7)⁂ A lovely set with an interesting provenance: Lady Emma Caroline Wood (1802-1879) was the mother of the Victorian novelists Lady Emma Barrett-Lennard and Anna C. Steele and also Kitty O'Shea, famous for her affair with Charles Stewart Parnell, leading to his political downfall.
Raffalovich (Marc-Andre) Tuberose and Meadowsweet, first edition, presentation copy inscribed by the author on half-title, title in red and black, half-title and final page browned, endpapers foxed, original light green cloth, gilt, t.e.g., others uncut, 8vo, David Bogue, 1885.⁂ A fine copy of the poet's second book of Uranian poetry. Oscar Wilde reviewed the book anonymously in the Pall Mall Gazette: "To say of these poems that they are unhealthy and bring with them the heavy odours of the hothouse is to point out neither their defect nor their merit, but their quality merely." The use of the word "Shame" in the final lines of the poem on Piers Gaveston may be "the first use of the word 'shame' to imply homosexual love." (D'Arch Smith, Love in Earnest, p.249). The presentation inscription reads: "A M. J.J. Weiss homage affectueux de l'auteur."
James (Henry) The Princess Casamassima, 3 vol., first edition, half-titles, advertisement leaf at end of vol.2 and 3, occasional light foxing, hinges cracked, original blue/green cloth, slight split to lower joint of vol.2 and 3, trace of labels having been removed from upper covers, [Edel & Laurence A29; Sadleir 1282; Wolff 3576], 8vo, London & New York, Macmillan and Co., 1886.⁂ Despite the faults mentioned, a very good copy of the first of James' 'political novels', of which 750 copies were printed in the first edition.

Though believed to be over 4,000 years-old, the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk first appeared in print as The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean in the 1734 second edition of Round About Our Coal-Fire, this 1807 edition is the first separate appearance of the story and the first time it was given the now-familiar title.

![NO RESERVE Wilde (Oscar) A House of Pomegranates, first edition, [one of 1000 copies], pictorial title, 4 plates and numerous](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/9e4f9f33-b24b-4ad2-ac71-aa4200fef8e1/b4c5bced-7b8f-48fe-a1ba-aa42010cfb3c/468x382.jpg)
NO RESERVE Wilde (Oscar) A House of Pomegranates, first edition, [one of 1000 copies], pictorial title, 4 plates and numerous illustrations and decorations in text by Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon, light browning to endpapers, joints tender, glue marking to rear endpaper, original pictorial cloth blocked in gilt and red designed by Ricketts, a little browned, spine ends and corners a little bumped. chip and repair to upper joint, spot to upper cover, uncut, preserved in custom drop-back box, [Mason 347], small 4to, 1891.

Beardsley (Aubrey).- Symons (Arthur, editor) The Savoy: An Illustrated Quarterly, 8 vol., first edition, plates and illustrations by Beardsley, Sickert, Rothenstein, Beerbohm, Rossetti, Shannon etc., loosely inserted Christmas card in volume 1 and publisher's slip in vol.7, some foxing, vol.1 and 2 in original pink pictorial boards, the rest in original green pictorial wrappers, some light rubbing, soiling and fraying, but generally very good, preserved in 3 modern cloth chemises and slip-cases, [Lasner 103; Nelson 1896 1A], 4to, Leonard Smithers, January-December, 1896.⁂ An excellent set of what Holbrook Jackson called "the most satisfying achievement of 'fin de siecle' journalism in England." The arrest of Oscar Wilde and the dismissal of Aubrey Beardsley as the art editor of The Yellow Book created difficulties for the artists and writers of the 1890s. Smithers's enterprise was therefore most timely. However, employing Beardsley was not without its problems - his cover illustration for no.1 having to be suppressed, for example, as it depicted a young boy urinating on The Yellow Book. Symons' editorship was crucial in recruiting writers such as Yeats, Conrad, Shaw, Verlaine, Ernest Dowson and John Gray.

"The text is taken in most instances from the last editions issued under the superintendence of the author. In some cases the volumes contain additional matter which had not previously been reprinted, while some of the volumes contain matter here published for the first time." (Mason). Complete sets in the original binding and in such excellent condition seldom appear on the market.

Copies of this edition are therefore rare, especially so in the wonderfully atmospheric Carter dust-jacket.
Burgess (Anthony) A Clockwork Orange, first edition, original boards, fine, first issue dust-jacket with wide flaps and priced at 16s., very light fading to spine, light chipping and rubbing to head of spine and corners, very short closed tears to head of joints, small patch of soiling to foot of upper panel, still an excellent example overall, 8vo, 1962.⁂ A bright and sharp copy of Burgess' masterpiece, a cornerstone of 20th century British fiction.
Conrad (Joseph) Youth: a Narrative and Two Other Stories, first edition, very occasional scattered spotting, 32pp. advertisements dated 11/02, original cloth, light browning to spine, spine ends a little bumped and frayed, small patch of discolouration to upper cover, but a sharp and excellent example overall, 8vo, 1902.⁂ An excellent example of Conrad's most important short story collection, including Heart of Darkness, one of the novellas of the 20th century.

Doyle (Sir Arthur Conan) The Maracot Deep and Other Stories, first edition, signed presentation inscription from the author to W.B. Maxwell "To W.B.M. A poor exchange against Mr. Raikes (who makes horribly for self psycho-analysis), but one of the four may find a mark A Conan Doyle." to title, 10pp. advertisements at rear, very light browning to half-title, 4ff. advertisements loosely inserted, including 2 for The Sherlock Holmes Long Stories, original cloth, very light fading to spine, dust-jacket, minor chipping to spine ends and corners, small chip to head of upper panel, a few very short closed tears and some creasing to head and foot, light surface soiling, but an excellent example overall, preserved in custom morocco-backed drop-back box, [Green & Gibson A47a], 8vo, 1929.⁂ A lovely copy of this Doyle science fiction collection with an excellent inscription.

The inscription is to William Babington Maxwell (1866-1938), author and playwright who wrote the 1929 work Himself and Mr. Raikes which features a young man constantly at conflict with his own, darker side, portrayed as a separate character.
Fleming (Ian) Live and Let Die, first edition, ink ownership inscription to title, original boards, second state dust-jacket with artist's credit centred between the blurb and foot of the flap, price-clipped, very light toning to spine, lower panel a little spotted and browned, minor rubbing and chipping to spine ends and corners, very short closed tear to head of upper panel, light creasing to head, still in effect an excellent example, 8vo, 1954.
Fleming (Ian) For Your Eyes Only, first edition, ink ownership inscription to endpaper, original boards, spine lettered in gilt, dust-jacket, minor chipping to spine ends and corners, light creasing to head and rubbing to extremities, but an unusually bright example without any of the usual fading to spine, 8vo, 1960.

In fact I very seldom indeed find anything I can admire so much in devotional poetry. It is mostly conventional & often vague, while your simplicity makes familiar things new. I have particularly liked 'Health', 'Mindful of that Country' & 'Heavenly Beauty', & if I can find an opportunity of saying so I will", and writing as an enlisted soldier from the R.G.A. camp in Trowbridge, "As I have been in army now since July of last year I have got out of things & reading is difficult & in fact impossible... .

India.- Williamson (Capt. Thomas) and Charles Doyley. The Costume and Customs of Modern India, 20 bright hand-coloured aquatint plates by J.H.Clark and D.Dubourg after Charles Doyley, all with yellow wash borders, some light marginal soiling, modern morocco-backed marbled boards, slightly rubbed and faded at edges, [Abbey, Travel 440; cf.
