The Life of Charlotte Bronte Author of "Jane Eyre," "Shirley," "Villette," &c.
Smith, Elder & Co., 1857.
First edition. Two volumes. Original publisher's brown chocolate cloth, decorated in blind to the covers and with gilt titles to the spine. Sixteen page catalogue of adverts at the end of vol II, dated March 1857. Engraved frontispiece to each volume. A very good set indeed with cloth clean and free from repair. Each volume slightly cocked and a small abrasion and mark to the front cover of volume one. Rear hinge of vol. II just starting, but all other hinges perfect. Internally very clean with some sections of vol. I sitting slightly proud of the text block. Discreet library mark of Hugh Selbourne to each volume. In all a very well preserved set of this important literary biography, seldom encountered in original cloth without significant repair.
