Erstausgabe
First edition, signed limited issue, number 45 of 60 copies on Japanese vellum, signed by the publisher, and here presented in a beautiful Zaehnsdorf binding. The compiler, Briscoe (1848-1926), was key to the development of professional librarianship. He wrote and published on a wide range of subjects; this volume is part of his Bibelot series (1899 - 1907), a set of 29 little volumes reprinting English classics. The present copy has Zaehnsdorf's blind exhibition stamp to the rear pastedown. Rather than signifying that it was exhibited, this means that it was bound to "exhibition standard", that is, applying the highest quality standards to the choice of materials and the execution of the forwarding and finishing. Small octavo (128 x 77 mm). Finely bound in contemporary brown morocco by Zaehnsdorf, their binder's stamp in gilt to front pastedown and their exhibition blind stamp to rear pastedown, spine with raised bands, compartments lettered and decorated with floral central tool in gilt, covers bordered and decorated with repeated floral motif in gilt, gilt turn-ins, brown silk moiré endpapers, top edge gilt, fore and bottom edges uncut. Photogravure portrait frontispiece, illustrated title and series title, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces. Spine sunned, corner turned down on p. 56. A near-fine copy.
