About 100 American publishers issued one or more editions of Meredith's Lucile beginning in1860. Montgomery Ward & Company offered this title from 1872 into the1940s. Lucile is a verse novel written by Robert Bulwer-Lytton under the pen name Owen Meredith, and published in 1860. The poem is a narrative told in an anapaest meter. It was Meredith's most popular work, achieving wide popularity in the 19th century, despite accusations of plagiarism involving elements of an 1831 George Sand novella, Lavinia.

Aggiungi al carrello480 pages. Hardcover: H 18.75cm x L 13cm. Handsome original green cloth binding decorated with black and bright gilt floral stamping as well as gilt title/author blocks to front board and spine; small cloth loss at bumped spine heel and light wear at head, mild mottling at lower area of front board. All edges gilt but with sever…al small dark stains at upper fore-edge. Non-authorial four-line ink gift inscription dated for June 1883 (which, as Thomas W. Crowell did not provide a publishing date, probably is quite contemporary to the book's issuance). Strong vertical creasing to rear flyleaf likely as a printer/binder flaw which causes an impression onto several preceding leaves. Double-column text. Binding is firm. Still an attractive very good copy.

Aggiungi al carrello"De Luxe Edition" or Deluxe Edition (as stated upon front board). [6], 382 pages. Hardcover; H 28.25cm x L 22.75cm. Lacks the publisher's box with which it was issued. No dust jacket. Olive colored cloth, front board decorated with gilt stamped floral border with bold gilt stamped lettering, spine cloth decorated with gilt stamp…ed lettering and gilt stamped geometric line design above center. Spotted discoloration along spine with strong staining to rear board, light scuffing at spine ends and at tips of board corners, gilt stamping remains bright particularly upon the front board. Past owner's name-address ink inscription on front pastedown. Although the title page calls for twelve watercolor facsimiles by Madeleine Colle Lemaire (1848-1928) only one image is present - "Duc de Luvois Adieu" laid-in opposite the title page. Curiously the binding is quite firm and does not reveal any stubs or glaring stress points where the other eleven images may have been excised. The 100 b/w illustrations by Charles McCormick Rogers are inset amongst the text. Otherwise a good+ copy. The first edition of LUCILE was published in London in 1860 by Chapman & Hall with the American first edition issued the same year by New York publisher Ticknor & Fields. However, the book enjoyed far greater popularity in the United States than in Great Britain for it remained in print in America for 78 years through 1938 during which nearly 100 American publishers released at least 2000 editions and/or issues with the Frederick A. Stokes Company being a primary promoter. Despite the extensive and convoluted bibliography (please refer to The University of Iowa Libraries' online Lucile Project for their extensive annotations), this is among the most handsome editions. Please note that this large book has an approximate shipping weight of 5 pounds (2.26 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.

Tuttle, | Rome, June 7/80." - which may or may not be a member of the Vermont Tuttle publishing and bookselling family. 2.5cm tear to ffep at top corner adjacent to spine hinge. Some toning and scattered light soiling/staining to interior pages. Binding is firm. Still a very good handsome antiquarian copy. The first edition of LUCILE was published in London in 1860 by Chapman & Hall with the American first edition issued the same year by New York publisher Ticknor & Fields. However, the book enjoyed far greater popularity in the United States than in Great Britain for it remained in print in America for 78 years through 1938 during which nearly 100 American publishers released at least 2000 editions. The University of Iowa Libraries' online Lucile Project cites several "antique morocco" bindings issued by Osgood and Company in 1876 but, whereas this copy's dark brown binding color corresponds to their images, the decorative black stamping pattern to the boards and stamped motifs to the spine do not match indicating the likelihood of yet another Osgood binding variant. Please note that this book has an approximate shipping weight of 3 pounds and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.

Aggiungi al carrello12mo, pp. [i-v] vi-ix [x-xi] xii [xiii-xvi] [17] 18-301 [302: blank][303-312: ads], double flyleaves at front and rear, original decorated brown cloth, front and rear panels stamped in blind, spine panel stamped in gold, cream coated endpapers. First U.S. edition. The story of a German count, a Byronic figure, whose life is blig…hted by an ancient Egyptian ring. The first half of the novel is narrated by a young German physician who meets the count on a steamer on the Rhine, with the legend of Lorelei, the supernatural femme fatale, shimmering in the background. The doctor and the count meet several more times, always in unusual circumstances. (While riding in the Bois de Boulogne outside Paris one day, the doctor suddenly hallucinates a scene of nautical disaster. He wakes up several days later clutching a fragment of manuscript in the count's hand, remembering nothing of how he obtained it.) The second half is told in epistolary fashion through the count's own voice and those of several others acquainted with him. We learn how the count obtained the fateful amethyst ring (supposedly belonging to the deity Seb Kronos) from the hand of an Egyptian mummy and how he gave it to his betrothed. Another being seems to take control of the count's body from time to time, and it is suggested that the count's soul at one time migrates to the ring, which, after being placed by his fiancée in a handkerchief, turns into a sphinx moth which dashes itself against the flame of a candle as soon as it escapes from the confines of the handkerchief. The story is oblique in some parts and padded in others, especially the first half, whose physician-narrator is much given to Latin tags and purples patches, but shows signs of imagination in its uses of the supernatural. In its concern with the dualism of real and ideal, the story reveals some of the same Platonic tincture that colors the work of his more renowned father. "This story is grotesque and fanciful; a love story which will not fail to interest those who like the peculiarly intense poetry of the author." - from a contemporary notice in HARPER'S WEEKLY, 31 October 1863, p. 691. Bleiler (The Guide to Supernatural Fiction, #1145) calls the work a "pseudo-philosophical, semi-allegorical novel" wherein the romantic triangle of the count, his brother Felix and his betrothed Juliet ends in fratricide and madness, recapitulating the original tragedy surrounding the life and death of the Egyptian prince Amasis. Bleiler relates the story that the author's more famous father, on reading this work, forbade his son to use the family name for a work of such low quality (a judgment in which Bleiler concurs). A scarce book which eluded Sadleir (#1465) and Wolff (#4238), both of whom mistakenly identified a Macmillan 1890 edition as the first "public" edition, preceded by a privately printed and anonymous 1888 edition. That neither was aware of the existence of this, the true first edition, seems somewhat extraordinary, especially in the case of Wolff, who wrote in detail about Bulwer-Lytton in his study, STRANGE STORIES, AND OTHER EXPLORATIONS IN VICTORIAN FICTION. Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), p. 149. Bleiler (1978), p. 138. Reginald 09387A. NCBEL III 637. Early owner's signature dated 10 November 1863 on the title page. Top edge of sheets dusty, otherwise a fine, bright copy. (#170292).
