	BALLANTYNE, R. M. THE FIRE BRIGADE or Fighting the Flames / A Tale New York City, John W. Lovell Company ND, hb. Ill.: black-&-white illustrations. Bound in original decorated metallic -blue cloth. Small 8vo, pp. viii, 420. All plates present and placed as called for in List of Illustrations. Â ¶ Pasted to the inside of the front cover is a (publisher's?) statement that this is a "Sample Volume", and lists four other Ballantyne titles. However, the text appears complete - this is certainly not a salesman's sample, or "dummy", but a complete book. There is no date of publication, and the four pages of publisher's ads at the end of the book are of little help. The first edition of this book was in 1867, under the title "Fighting the Flames", published by James Nisbet & Co., London, who were the exclusive British publisher's of Ballantyne's books. (see Eric Quayle, "Collector's Book of Boy' Stories"). The earliest American edition appears to have been published by Lippincott in 1874. We also note an undated Belford, Clarke (Chicago) edition, probably published in the 1880s, and an undated Philadelphia edition, by Porter, also from the 1880s (but undated). We conclude that our copy was also published in the 1880s, although we can find no reference to this publisher's edition in WorldCat. Our copy shows wear, especially to the board edges, and some soiling. There is some light foxing to the margins, and the binding is a bit stressed at pp. 246/247. Overall, a good copy.

	BALLANTYNE, ROBERT MICHAEL HUDSON BAY: Or, Everyday Life in the Wilds of North America London, T. Nelson and Sons 1901, hb. Ill.: black-&-white illustrations. Small 8vo, pp. xii, 367. "..during six years' residence in the territories of the Hon. Hudson Bay Company." Â ¶ Bound in publisher's original nicely decorated brick-red cloth, blocked in black and gilt, showing voyageurs in canoes traversing rapids. Spine shows an Indian in headress. Photo frontispiece of Ballantyne. Text contains "fifty illustrations by Bayard and other artists from sketches by the author." No edition stated on title or copyright pages, but the Preface is to the Fourth Edition. There is also a seven-page biography of the author's life. The boards are bumped at the corners, and the extremities are a bit rubbed. Light general scuffing, and a bit of soiling to the rear board. Former owner's name and address stamp to front free endpaper and inside rear cover. A few pages smudged, and one or two spots of soiling; else the book is in good plus condition. USD 25.00 [Appr.: EURO 16.75 \| £UK 15.25 \| JP¥ 2206] Book number: 034819 Click here to order or inquire at Greenfield Books.

	BALLANTYNE, R. M. THE FIRE BRIGADE or Fighting the Flames / A Tale New York City, John W. Lovell Company ND, hb. Ill.: black-&-white illustrations. Bound in original decorated metallic -blue cloth. Small 8vo, pp. viii, 420. All plates present and placed as called for in List of Illustrations. Â ¶ Pasted to the inside of the front cover is a (publisher's?) statement that this is a "Sample Volume", and lists four other Ballantyne titles. However, the text appears complete - this is certainly not a salesman's sample, or "dummy", but a complete book. There is no date of publication, and the four pages of publisher's ads at the end of the book are of little help. The first edition of this book was in 1867, under the title "Fighting the Flames", published by James Nisbet & Co., London, who were the exclusive British publisher's of Ballantyne's books. (see Eric Quayle, "Collector's Book of Boy' Stories"). The earliest American edition appears to have been published by Lippincott in 1874. We also note an undated Belford, Clarke (Chicago) edition, probably published in the 1880s, and an undated Philadelphia edition, by Porter, also from the 1880s (but undated). We conclude that our copy was also published in the 1880s, although we can find no reference to this publisher's edition in WorldCat. Our copy shows wear, especially to the board edges, and some soiling. There is some light foxing to the margins, and the binding is a bit stressed at pp. 246/247. Overall, a good copy.

Â ¶ Bound in publisher's original nicely decorated brick-red cloth, blocked in black and gilt, showing voyageurs in canoes traversing rapids. Spine shows an Indian in headress. Photo frontispiece of Ballantyne. Text contains "fifty illustrations by Bayard and other artists from sketches by the author." No edition stated on title or copyright pages, but the Preface is to the Fourth Edition. There is also a seven-page biography of the author's life. The boards are bumped at the corners, and the extremities are a bit rubbed. Light general scuffing, and a bit of soiling to the rear board. Former owner's name and address stamp to front free endpaper and inside rear cover. A few pages smudged, and one or two spots of soiling; else the book is in good plus condition.
