AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY OF A BEAUTIFUL BOOK.

The set also carries the fine nineteenth century engraved armorial bookplate of Sir Andrew Noble of Ardmore and Ardardan on front paste-downs. The Trollope Society records that the author's sixth novel was written 'mainly in railway carriages, since his work for the Post Office entailed a good deal of travelling'. The story is drawn from his memories of his work as a clerk at the GPO in St Martin-le-Grand, and Richard Mullen has called it the most autobiographical of Trollope's novels. The novel was not reprinted in its original three-volume form. A UNIQUE AND ATTRACTIVE COPY OF A SCARCE WORK. NCBEL III, 882; Sadleir 6; Wolff 6796.
