00003Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons 1858. Domestic Realism Pathos and Humor<br/>George Eliot's First Works of Fiction<br/><br/>ELIOT George. Scenes of Clerical Life. In Two Volumes. Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons 1858.<br/><br/>First edition in book form of George Eliot's first works of fiction. <br/><br/>Two octavo volumes 7 3/8 x 4 5/8 inches; 187 x 117 mm. 4 366; 2 381 1 blank pp. Bound without the half-title in Volume I and without the half-title and fly-title in Volume II.<br/><br/>Nineteenth-century half dark green hard-grain morocco ruled in blind over marbled boards. Spines ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Marbled edges and endpapers. Scattered light foxing and soiling. Marginal paper-flaw to leaf H6 pp. 123/124 of volume 1 not affecting text. An excellent set of this rather scarce title.<br/><br/>Scenes of Clerical Life is the title under which George Eliot's first published fictional work a collection of three short stories "The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton" "Mr Gilfil's Love-Story" and "Janet's Repentance" was released in book form; it was the first of her works to be released under her famous pseudonym. <br/><br/>The stories were first published in Blackwood's Magazine over the course of the year 1857 initially anonymously before being released as a two-volume set by Blackwood and Sons in January 1858. The three stories are set during the last twenty years of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century over a fifty year period and take place in and around the fictional town of Milby in the English Midlands. Each of the Scenes concerns a different Anglican clergyman but is not necessarily centered upon him. Eliot examines among other things the effects of religious reform and the tension between the Established and the Dissenting Churches on the clergymen and their congregations and draws attention to various social issues such as poverty alcoholism and domestic violence.<br/><br/>"These at once attracted praise for their domestic realism pathos and humour and speculation about the identity of ‘George Eliot' who was widely supposed to be a clergyman or possibly a clergyman's wife" The Oxford Companion to English Literature.<br/><br/><br/>Baker & Ross A3.2.

17673087Cambridge: John Archdeacon 1767. Two vols. 6.75 x 4.25". Contemporary Scottish black morocco spine in six compartments red morocco lettering pieces in the second others with gilt saltire with small flowers covers framed with distinctive interlocking tool impressed individually. Red and black PRINTED book labels of Elisabeth Hall dated 1769 pasted onto "Dutch gilt" endpapers. Some modern glue is visible in the inner hinge of the lower cover of vol. 2. Two original binder's blanks at the front and back of both volumes. Suitable for exhibition and study. This well preserved set of Scottish bindings is further distinguished by FOUR copy-specific letterpress bookplates printed in red and black no doubt in Scotland which reads in full: <br/><br/>"Elisabeth Hall Her Bible. 20th June. MDCCLXIX." <br/><br/>Concerning this printed bookplate it would appear that the present volumes contain the only known impressions of it thereby meriting inclusion in ESTC and elsewhere.<br/><br/>The tools on the front cover of the bindings have not been matched with published examples but the spine treatment and endpapers are decidedly Scottish.<br/><br/>That the Psalms were printed in Edinburgh Alexander Kincaid 1763 leads us to the conclusion that the present bindings are not only Scottish but that the original owner of them Elisabeth Hall was certainly Scottish herself.<br/><br/>John Archdeacon's 1767 Cambridge Bible is not in the National Library of Scotland. Unsurprisingly NLS has four copies of Alexander Kincaid's 1763 Psalms two of which are in the Bindings Collection: Bdg.s.8072 and Bdg.s.1002. John Archdeacon unknown books
