Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. First Edition. Two volumes. London: Reeves & Turner, and Bertram Dobell, 1895. First edition. xciii,[iii],373,[1]pp., (+[2]pp. ads).; vii,[i],446pp., (+[2]pp. ads.). Tissue-guarded portrait frontispiece to each volume. Titles printed in red & black. Original brown cloth, gilt lettering & decoration, top edge rough, others untrimmed, upper boards embossed in black with a pictorial design by Charles Ricketts. §The writer John Cowper Powys's copy with his inked name to front pastedown of each volume. Ink-crosses or marks in his hand drawing attention to four passages in 'The City of the Dreadful Night'. §Two of the three Powys brothers are known to have had an interest in Thomson. The novelist Louis Wilkinson reports that "in his undergraduate days [at Oxford]" he talked with T.F. Powys "of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, of James Thomson . . . and Swinburne and other poets" but that "it was Nietzsche who then most attracted Theodore who bore a striking resemblance to one portrait of that destructive and creative philosopher" ('Some Memories of T.F. Powys', ed. Sewell, 1964, pp.10-11); Llewelyn Powys's collection 'Cup-Bearers of Wine and Hellebore', 1924, includes an 11 page essay on 'B.V.'; John Cowper Powys's interest in the 'pessimist poet', however, is perhaps unrecorded (a fairly tantalising pairing). Free endpapers browned, ownership signatures offset. Prelims., portraits & tissue-guards slightly foxed. A few leaves carelessly opened (see illustration of vol. I, p. 246, for the most serious example). Some marking to covers, Ricketts designs a little rubbed. Spines severely faded, obliterating gilt lettering & blocking, spine ends chafed & worn. In all other respects a good, sound set. (**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY** - Heavy/overweight item weighing 1.4 kg packed, therefore additional postage will be required for overseas orders.
