JOSIAH ALLEN'S WIFE (PEN NAME OF MARIETTA HOLLEY).

Samantha at the World's Fair.

New York:, Funk & Wagnalls,, 1893., First Edition, Hardcover. Octavo in blue cloth impressively illustrated in silver, gilt and black. 694 pages illustrated by drawings. The Samantha books aren't hard to find, but this copy of the episode celebrating the Chicago World's Fair is extraordinary. It is a first (no mention of copies printed); it is clean, unmarked, and soundly bound although the rear endpaper is starting to split at the hinge. The extremities are lightly worn; the foot of spine is a bit more seriously worn. The lower front tip is bumped. However, the cover decoration is amazingly fresh. The black, the gilt, and particularly the silver show no signs of rubbing or wear, let along dulling. An impressive object. Very Good+.

HOLLEY, (MARIETTA E.)

Josiah Allen's Wife As a P.A. And P.I. Or Samantha at the Centennial. . .

London, New York and Melbourne: Ward, Lock and Co. no date [1890? 1891?]. 8vo, hardcover, blue-grey pictorial cloth stamped in red, yellow and black, spine titled in gilt, green floral endpapers. (iii)-xiv, 19-578 pp. 38 illustrations in text, some full page. Pictorial spine a bit darkened, with slight wear to foot, much of the colour stamping flaked away leaving a pale blue outline; light cover soiling; page edges a bit darkened; occasional light soiling in text; else a VG tight and unworn copy, pictorial front cover quite attractive and not flaked. First published Hartford, Connecticut, in 1877, this was a best-selling American humour book in the 19th century. The present edition may well be the first UK edition. Topp, Victorian Yellowbacks, Vol. II (Ward & Lock), # 2232, records an 1891 edition, in cloth or boards, and he states "probably the first English edition." However, the imprint of that edition was Ward, Lock, Bowden & Co. Ward, Lock added the Bowden name in July, 1891. The style of their imprint which appears in the present copy was only used for parts of 1890 and 1891. Topp doesn't note the present edition, which would seem to be a bit earlier than the one he does note.
