1871319958Edinburgh: Printed by Neill and Company 1871. First edition one of about 50 copies. With five figures in text. 7 1 blank pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Self-wrappers near fine. Blue cloth slipcase with chemise. First edition one of about 50 copies. With five figures in text. 7 1 blank pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Presentation Copy. One of the earliest publications of Robert Louis Stevenson 1850-94 who grew up in a family of lighthouse engineers. Beginning in 1867 Stevenson studied civil engineering at the University of Edinburgh and spent three summers in an apprentice ship at his father's lighthouse projects. In the spring of 1871 Stevenson presented his paper and was awarded the silver medal of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts. "The essay showed the accumulated knowledge of three obedient years" Bathurst but it marked an end to his enginnering studies. Stevenson then studied law and passed the first examination for the Scottish bar in 1872. He cared for nothing but literature and dedicated himself to his literary apprenticeship with far more zeal than he found for engineering. <br/><br/>Inscribed at the head of the title "With the author's compliments"<br/><br/>Prideaux notes "A few copies - probably not exceeding 50 - were pulled separately from the types of the Transactions with the pagination altered and a title-page added". This would have been at Stevenson's request. Preceded only by juvenilia The Pentland Rising 1866 and The Charity Bazaar 1868. OCLC records a dozen locations for this title with only a handful of presentation copies among them. Prideaux II 3; McKay Beinecke 8 Printed by Neill and Company unknown books
