Fielding, Henry : THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A Foundling

Printed for A. Millar, London, 1749

Six vols. 8vo. (6 7/16 x 3 15/16 inches), handsomely rebound in three-quarter acid calf over boards covered with 18th century marbled paper;the books have hand sewn blue-and-white matching headbands. Spines with five raised bands and black morocco labels; all edges sprinkled.FIRST EDITION with the errata leaf in Volume I and with all the cancels called for by Rothschild; Volume V: N8 is an unsigned cancel. It contains an ADDITIONAL CANCEL Overlooked in Rothschild; viz., Volume II: N12. As Cross points out, the book was published Feb. 28, 1749 and a second edition, though not so named, was published that same year, but that in Volume I, "...the unpaged leaf of Errata is omitted, and in its place is p. lxiii, the contents being expanded to fill." The second edition was begun before the first was completed, and again, according to Cross, "An attempt was made to make this a paginary reprint of the first, but the variations are numerous."Little can be added to what has already been written about Fielding's Tom Jones other than to mention that this is a DELIGHTFUL COPY with its tasteful retrospective binding which makes use of contemporary paper for the sides. A first edition sold at the October 28, 2010 Sotheby’s sale of “The Library of an English Bibliophile” for just under $18,000 including buyer’s premium. See: Rothschild. I, p.150. Cross. III, 316-317. Grolier One Hundred. 48.
