'Sir Charles Grandison', Richardson's final novel is, like its predecessors, 'Pamela' and 'Clarissa', an epistolary novel; and, like Clarissa, it is very long indeed, originally appearing across seven volumes between November 1753 and March 1754. Richardson's portrait of a "Good Man" (after the female protagonists of the earlier novels) has not endured either in reputation or print compared to the earlier novels but, as John Dussinger remarks, "in 1754 Richardson reported to Lady Bradshaigh [the] novel had much more success with the public than 'Clarissa', receiving enthusiastic responses from such diverse readers as William Cowper, who wrote an ode on its behalf, Edward Gibbon, and Lord Chesterfield". Jane Austen, another fan, dramatized scenes from the novel for family performance. Samuel Johnson famously remarked that "if you were to read Richardson for the story, your impatience would be so much fretted that you would hang yourself. But you must read him for the sentiment, and consider the story as only giving occasion to the sentiment", and this two-volume abridgement by the influential critic and literary historian, George Saintsbury, is an attempt to convey the sentiment without the length (to lose some of the bathwater without forfeiting the baby). The edition is also notable for its finely detailed illustrations (both within and adorning the cloth) by the English artist Christiana Mary Demain Hammond (18601900). A member of Hugh Thomson's Cranford School, Hammond's elegant pen and ink drawings are a perfect complement to Richardson's prose.

First Edition. 118pp. Folio [36 cm] Full green cloth with the title gilt stamped on the backstrip. Near fine. The discovery of gold on the American River, east of Sacramento, on January 24, 1848, caused Stockton to transform from a small settlement to a thriving commercial center, supplying miners heading up to the Sierra foothills. Stockton got its start when Captain Charles M. Weber, a German immigrant, decided to try his hand at gold mining in late 1848 but soon discovered serving the needs of gold-seekers was a more profitable opportunity. He then founded Stockton in 1849 when he purchased over 49,000 acres of land through a Spanish land grant. Saunders 53.
