Half title, front. Orig. maroon cloth. Bookseller's ticket of H.V. Day, Dorchester. v.g. See Sadleir 3017 & Wolff 7185 for the 1890 first edition.

Half titles. Original brown diagonal fine-ribbed cloth; spine very slightly darkened, otherwise v.g. Sadleir 3013a; the contents vary slightly from the first edition as follows: versos of half title have 'some notices on the first edition' instead of ads. for Mark Rutherford's Works; imprint is on page (182) vol. I, page (190) vol. II, followed by ad. leaf printed on recto only. This identical binding on the third edition suggests that both Nowell-Smith & Sadleir arrived at the wrong conclusion; the green cloth is almost certainly the primary binding. William Hale White, 1831-1913, was a novelist & civil servant. He started his career as doorkeeper to the House of Commons. A nonconformist, his writing was strongly influenced by George Eliot, Spinoza & Carlyle.
