Condition: Very Good
Description: A Very Good copy of the second edition (printed in the same year as was the first edition), in the Publisher's original red cloth with the spines lettered and decorated in gilt and black and the front board of each volume lettered in black. The volumes are askew and each shows sunning to the spine, some cracking to the hinges, general wear, and a prior owner's signature to the half-title's recto. Volume I hosts a Preface by Trollope's son Henry where in the son explains the Autobiography's publication and his father's letter regarding the same, which letter the father gave to the son with instructions that it was not to be opened until after the father's death. The Chicago Tribune, after describing Trollope's miserable childhood and youth, and his early failures as a Post Office employee (a career at which he ultimately had remarkable success and in which he became an important and notable figure), described this Autobiography as ".a remarkable life story told in a great book.". A Very Good copy of this notable Autobiography.

Trollope, Anthony & Trollope, Henry. AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. William Blackwood & Sons, 1883.
Price: US$2687.50 + shipping
Description: AUTOBIOGRAPHY, William Blackwood & Sons, 1883, first edition? (half title pages and title pages excised), two volumes bound as one, leather label on spine a bit chipped, blank page before preface with 2 pasted in newspaper clippings bearing anecdotes of Trollope, else a tight vg+ copy bound in a Birdsall & Son binding of half vellum and marbled boards with all edges in gold-gilt. A most curious copy as the first available blank page has a 110 word holographic note in an unknown hand (see below) revealing the origin of the sir name Trollope by quoting page 234 from MEMOIRS OF AN EX-MINISTER by the Earl of Malmesbury; Anthony Trollope's armorial bookplate on the f.p.d. and a 30 word holographic note on Harding Petersfield stationery dated in 1882 SIGNED by Anthony Trollope pasted to the verso of the front end-paper. Purchased from the library of the former premier Walt Whitman collector, bibliophile and philanthropist, Charles Feinberg. Before that, apparently once owned by Charles Whibley with his printed label on the f.p.d., he also amassing a large book collection. "Erudite and pugnacious, Charles Whibley was a formidable personality of the British publishing scene between 1890 and 1930. He was an editor, journalist, literary critic, essayist & polemicist whose works included literary and political biographies, reissues of Elizabethan and Jacobean translations of classical authors, personal memoirs, etc. He worked at the Pall Mall Gazette, Macmillan's Magazine and the New Review. " - The Literary Encyclopedia. Perhaps the quotation of Earl of Malmesbury above is in his hand. To continue the curiousity of this volume, on the upper left corner of Trollope's own bookplate, there are the inked initials of RB. If this does indeed indicate that it came from the library of Trollope's good friend and literary associate, Robert Bell (1800-1867); prominent English journalist, miscellaneous writer and editor of the Annontated Edition of the British Poets (24 vols., 1854-1857) as some might suggest (for Trollope purchased Bell's library as an act of charity from his widow soon after Bell died), it does not explain how a book published in 1883 could have been in Bell's library 16 years after his demise.
