But they would be in favour of a few objective illustrations" (Gilson E150). First issued in 1923 in a limited large-paper edition; this third edition set includes addenda and additional notes. Pride and Prejudice is from a 1932 later printing of the second edition. Gilson E150. Interior fine, beautifully bound.
