Price: US$2365.00 + shipping

Description: 2 volumes. First edition. With 20 fine wood-engraved and tissue-guarded plates after John Everett Millais. Tall 8vo, in the publisher's original green cloth, stamped 'Virtue and Co.' on the tails, the upper covers and spines with lovely gilt lettering, all over decoration in blind, endpapers a pale yellow. Now housed in a cloth-covered slipcase. vi, [1], 320; vi, [1], 328 pp. A very bright and handsome set of this work notoriously scarce in original cloth in acceptable condition. The textblock is remarkably fresh and clean with no spotting, a touch only, to the prelims and some tissue guards, the cloth exceptionally bright and attractive, some very expert restoration to the spines preserving the original decorated cloth entirely. A rare and elusive survival. FIRST EDITION AND AN EXCEPTIONALLY BRIGHT SET OF A BOOK SADLEIR CALLED RARE 90 YEARS AGO, saying in 1928 - "First Editions of Phineas Finn in the original Virtue binding are scarce, and copies in fine state are very rare indeed." PHINEAS FINN is a very early "Palliser" novel. It deals with both British parliamentary politics of the 1860s, including voting reform (secret ballot and eliminating rotten boroughs and Irish tenant-right) and Finn's romances with women of fortune, which would secure his financial future. A sequel, PHINEAS REDUX, was published as the fourth book of the series in 1874.
