18443455<p>The first English edition of an international best-seller a fiercely anti-Catholic gothic novel that was first published in serial form in Paris as <em>Le Juif errant</em> 1844. Eugène Sue - who incidentally is remembered as coining the phrase 'revenge is a dish best served cold' in his novel <em>Matilde</em> 1841 - is mostly remembered for his socialist-inspired anti-Catholic novels the present novel and <em>The Mysteries of Paris</em> both of which were enormously popular examples of the serial novel in France. In <em>The Wandering Jew</em> Sue tells of the conflict between the eponymous hero and the villain a Jesuit called Rodin set against a backdrop of poverty crime and the harsh life of working class Paris contrasted with the corruption of the nobility. Both books were highly controversial because of their vivid gothic portrayals of violence and corruption and their overtly socialist and anti-clerical message.</p><p>First published in serial form in England this English translation appeared bi-weekly in illustrated parts at one shilling concurrently with the original French text. When the first volume was completed for separate publication Chapman & Hall began the publication of a series of twenty-six sixpenny parts containing the illustrations alone which were published as <em>Heath's Illustrations to the Wandering Jew</em> 1845-1846. The present set was issued late in 1845 although the title-pages are unaltered from their first appearance in 1844 without the illustrations and bound in dark green fine-ribbed cloth.</p><p>Sadleir 3159. </p><p>First Edition in English Second Issue. <em>Three Volumes 8vo 215 x 130 mm pp. iv 491 1; iv 375; iv 372 tear to I 69 through text with no loss </em> <em>in contemporary half olive leather over green cloth boards the edges of the boards slightly damp-stained with loss of pigment boards tooled in gilt along the edges spines ruled lettered and numbered in gilt marbled edges and endpapers with the heraldic bookplate of Kemmis in each volume</em></p> Chapman and Hall
1845014637London: T. C. Newby 1845. Hardcover. Very Good. Robert Cruikshank. Two volumes in one. No date on title page published sometime between 1845 and 1849. Three-quarter grained brown leather with brown cloth sides demarcated with gilt rules. Raised bands gilt lettering in two compartments and tooled ornaments in remaining four compartments. Top edge gilt. Marbled endpapers. Lacks a half-title page and list of illustrations. The engraved title page faces the typographic title page in the first volume; no title page precedes the second volume. Fourteen engraved plates including title page. 8vo. pp. 442 376. A very scarce copy of the Osborne translation of Sue's Mathilde; this edition also being notable for its inclusion of Robert Cruikshank's engravings dated 1845. Isaac Robert Cruikshank 1789-1856 was a caricaturist and illustrator who along with his brother George who illustrated for Dickens pioneered the use of speech balloons. 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
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
