5. CLEMENS, SAMUEL LANGHORNE (PSEUD. MARK TWAIN). Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(Tom Sawyer’s Comrade). NY: Charles L. Webster, 1885.Sq. 8vo, 366 pp., one blank leaf, with inserted frontispiece portrait. With 174 illustrations byE.W. Kemble. Original pictorial green cloth stamped in gilt and black, lower hinge crackedbut holding. A very good copy in a green quarter morocco folding case.§ First American edition, with all points of the first issue except the portrait which is the secondstate (“has no relation to the sheets of the book” BAL 3415). “The traditional issue points on thisbook are now known to be excessively complicated. The first printing of 30,000 copies was doneusing electrotype plates, produced simultaneously on different presses, hence minor variationswithin the first printing due to damaged plates. Only three substantive changes were introducedafter the first printing: at p. 13 the erroneous page reference "88" was changed to "87"; at p. 57 themisprint "with the was" was corrected to "with the saw"; and at p. 9 the misprint "Decided" wascorrected to "Decides" (this last change overlooked by Johnson, Blanck et al.)” (Harrington).These are the only points generally denoted as distinguishing between the first two printings, andthis copy has all three in the first state. A classic of American literature and one of the mostfamous and popular novels in the English language, Huckleberry Finn was sold by subscriptiononly. “This great picaresque tale, the sequel to Tom Sawyer, is purer gold mined from the samevein as its predecessor They will be classics the world over as long as there are boys” (GrolierAmerican, 87). BAL 3415. Bolton p. 86. (106254) 4,750.Full descriptions and photographs are available on our website.6

Small faint damp stain on upper cover, equally faintspotting on rear cover, printing flaw on p. 132, a handsome copy.§ First English edition, first state (with the October 1884 publisher’s catalogue), preceding theAmerican edition by four months. This copy is bound with staples, while others were bound moreconventionally with string. While there is no priority between the two, it is quite difficult to findstaple-bound copies in desirable condition today as the ill-conceived English experiment withstaples proved very unsatisfactory. The English Chatto & Windus edition was published duringthe first week of December 1884, with copies then being advertised as available and for sale. Thecopyright for the American edition was filed at about the same time, but copies were not actuallyissued until four months later. BAL 3414.

7. DEFOE, DANIEL. Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner.The Second Edition. To which is added a Map of the World. London: W.

Full brown morocco gilt, gilt edges, by Root. Bookplate of Joseph Turner invol. 2.§ Fourth edition of vol. 1, first edition of vol. 2, probably issued together. All early editions of thisclassic are now scarce. The first part was originally published on 25 April 1719; the fourth editionwas published after 6 June, probably at the same time as the sequel and thus as found here. Thesequel, “Farther Adventures”, was published in August the same year. Hutchins gives a detailedaccount of the printing and publishing of the two parts of Robinson Crusoe, including a numberof variants within the first editions. These are not issue points, as the variants are found indifferent combinations. In this copy, the second part has verso of A4 with the announcement ofthe fourth edition and p. 295 correctly numbered. Copies of the book with both volumes in firstedition are rare and now prohibitively expensive for most collectors. Grolier English 41;Hutchins, pp. 52-71, 97-112, 122-8; Moore 412 & 417; PMM 180; Rothschild 775. PMM 180:“much of science fiction is basically Crusoe’s island changed to a planet.” (106350) 9,750.Full descriptions and photographs are available on our website.8

8. [DODGSON, CHARLES LUTWIDGE, PSEUD. LEWIS CARROLL]. [ILLUS. JOHN TENNIEL]. Alice'sAdventures in Wonderland. London: Macmillan, 1866.8vo, [i] h-t; [iv] frontis.; [v] t-p; [vii–ix] All in the golden afternoon . . . ; [xi] Contents; [1]–192 pp. With 42 wood-engraved illustrations in the text (including the frontispiece) afterTenniel (1820–1914) by the Dalziel Brothers. Full green morocco by Stikeman, mostly fadedto brown a bit worn.§ First published edition. This story of a Victorian child’s dreamlike encounters with a successionof bizarre and loquacious creatures made an impact from the moment of its publication. As anunprecedented work of fantasy, enriched with brilliant wordplay, nonsense verse, and a deep veinof mathematical and logical puzzling, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland invites interpretationson multiple levels and has engaged generations of children and scholars alike.

9. [DODGSON, CHARLES LUTWIDGE, PSEUD. LEWIS CARROLL]. [ILLUS. PETER NEWELL]. Alice’sAdventures in Wonderland.

Original white paper boardsand green dustjacket, both with titles and embossed image of Alice in gilt. Boards slightlyspotted, jacket fading to brown and cracking at folds, complete but for a chip in the crown ofthe spine and very rarely seen better.§ First edition illustrated by Peter Newell. Newell was the first major illustrator to tackle Carroll’swork after Tenniel (Rackham’s Alice was not published until 1907), and the first to departsignificantly from Tenniel’s vision, opening the door to the many varied interpretations of thetwentieth century. His soft pencil drawings emphasize the comedy in the book and often depictmoments that Tenniel and the intervening illustrators ignored, such as the three sisters who livedat the bottom of the well and the moment the hedgehog croquet balls commence to fight. Animportant milestone in the history of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. (106388) 1,500.Full descriptions and photographs are available on our website.10

Half red morocco with gilt paneled backstripby Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Light spotting to title, occasional light toning, else fine.§ First Rackham edition. Number 687 of 1130 copies for the United Kingdom. Perhaps thequintessential Rackham title, with his style perfectly matching the text; his depiction of Alice asthe frontispiece is a simple masterpiece. Since Rackham was out of the country when Alice wentto press, it became the only deluxe limited edition of his work which was issued unsigned.Hudson pp. 70-76 and p. 168. Latimore & Haskell p. 28.

You may like to know that I am making a play of it. Mole End doesn’t come into it. (Doyou mind very much?) It was that or Badger’s House, and I had to have Badger’s.
