Description: DAWN, Appleton, 1887, first American edition, (one of apparently three published that year), 2 vols., bottom of spines lightly chipped, front and rear covers lightly foxed, else a vg copy in wraps as issued. The authors first novel, published in the U.K. in 1884 as a triple decker and sold at auction several years ago for more than £6000, this edition is perhaps even more difficult to acquire (as any paperback book more than a century old would be). In Allen's recently published THE HAGGARD GUIDE, he states that there is no American edition of this work! In Scott's earlier bibliography of the works of H. Rider Haggard, he again makes no mention of this publication. RARE and virtually unknown in this format.
