Description: First Canadian edition, and first one-volume edition and possibly the true first edition. While first published in three volumes by Longmans on Dec. 3, 1888, it was first released for periodical publication in England and the Dominions in June 1888 according to the Scott bibliography. It also appeared in the US in Harper's Weekly prior to the three volume set. Therefore, it is possible that this 1888 Rose one-volume edition may have preceded the Longmans three volume publication. Dark green cloth with spine decorated and lettered in gilt and black, and only in black on cover. Toronto: Rose Publishing Company (1888), 298 pages + one leaf of ads at rear. A very solid VG copy with modest edge wear and soil. Unmarked except for bookseller pencils and with tan pages.

Description: First edition. 1888. 3 Vols. Original red cloth boards have significant wear with bumped corners, some fraying to cloth at corners and heads and tails of spines. Some marks and staining to boards. Spines faded. Each volume has a "Mudies Select Library" sticker to front board, Vol I has a second sticker over this from "Joseph S. Ladds" Bayswater Library. Internally all volumes have light foxing and occasional smudges and marks throughout. Volume one binding is slightly weak but holding. Vol I, P.247, Vol II, P.263, Vol III, P.261. The Authors last work to be printed in three volumes, in an edition of 3,000 copies. A Fair to good set. Between 1842 and 1894 Charles Edward Mudie's lending library influenced Victorian literature, particularly fiction, in two chief ways: first, by making sure that almost all novels appeared in three volumes, it had important effects on the structure, plot, style, and even imaginative worlds of the Victorian novel; and second, by acting as a censor who demanded fiction suited to the middle-class family, it controlled the subject, scope, and morality of the novel for fifty years.
