184110854London: J. Clements. London J. Clements nd c1841. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A very good copy. A penny dreadful presumably. Six numbers bound as one with a title page and an author's preface dated 1831. Each part is numbered and pagination continues between the parts though there are no prices on each part. The story takes starts with a slave ship being boarded by a pirate Brulart who seems to be white not black. Subseqent to this a couple of years later I think one of the slaves Attar Gull takes revenge on his captors but suffers and dies cursing the white man. I suspect the inclusion of Brulart in the title of this 49 page piece is to bringing in the readers as the main bulk of the story is around Gull. Scarce with no copies at auction since 1932. Recently rebound in 1/4 calf with marbled boards. The binding is new so the description relates only to the text block. The leaves are mostly in excellent shape with the inevitable ageing and tanning a few leaves have a stain that doesn't affect the text's readability. There is some loss to text at the lower margin where the book has been trimmed at some point. 10854 Hyraxia Books. nd c1841 . Very Good. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1841. J. Clements hardcover

It appears that Cruikshank produced twenty-four plates for Matilda however only thirteen appear in this copy. The title page indicates that T. C. Newby was located at Wigmore-Street Cavendish-Square though the illustrated plates and the last page of the second volume indicate that they were each printed at 72 Mortimer Street. The publisher and printer Thomas Cautley Newby was located at 72 Mortimer Street between 1844 and 1849. T. C. Newby hardcover
