First Edition Signed
First edition, presentation copy, inscribed "From The Author" in a secretarial hand on the half-title of vol. I. Kingsley's greatest popular success, Westward Ho! was originally planned as a patriotic tale about the defeat of the Spanish Armada at a time when Napoleon III's anti-English posturing was alarming many of Kingsley's countrymen. By the time of publication the Crimean War had switched public angst towards Russia, but it remained just as timely and the novel's nostalgic and rose-tinted look at the Elizabethan golden age struck a chord with its Victorian readership. 3 volumes, octavo. Original blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt, yellow endpapers. Housed in a custom blue quarter morocco box. With old bookseller's description from James F. Drake of New York (wrongly placing the inscription as in Kingsley's autograph) loosely inserted. Neat repair to headcaps of vol. I, and minor colour touch-up to the cloth, small chip to the rear cloth of vol. II with slight loss of colour to spine to the same, light bumps to vol. III at extremities, light ink mark to title of vol. III else contents clean. A very good copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Kingsley, Charles. Westward Ho! or, the Voyages and Adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh, Knight, of Burrough, in the County of Devon, In the Reign of Her Most Glorious Majesty Queen Elizabeth. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1924. Illustrated by N. C. Wyeth. Black hardcover boards with full color illustration on front, gilt stamped titles to spine, pictorial endpapers, deckled edge, and nine full color full page illustrations throughout. This is a very handsome vintage printing of Charles Kingsley s Westward Ho! First published in Cambridge in 1855, this later 1924 edition is creatively illustrated by famed 20th century artist and illustrator, N. C. Wyeth. This book was published by Charles Scribner s Sons, in New York. The book is presented in its original black hardcover boards with gilt stamped titles on the spine, a full color front paste-down illustration, illustrated endpapers, and nine full color illustrations by Wyeth throughout. Beginning in the fictional seaport of Bideford Quay, during the reign of Elizabeth I, Westward Ho! follows Amyas Leigh, who sets sail on a life of adventure on the high seas with Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, and other privateers to the New World, namely the Preston Somers Expedition and Raleigh's El Dorado Expedition. After battling pirates and treasure hunting in the Caribbean, Amyas and his crew members face the Spanish Armada. As laudatory as Kingsley is about British might and intrepidness, the novel also draws parallels between the novel s Elizabethan events and that of his own Victorian era, urging readers to see similarities between England's past clashes with Spain and its current tensions with the French and Napoleon. Newell Convers Wyeth is considered one of America's greatest illustrators. He was the pupil of artist Howard Pyle and created over 3,000 paintings over his lifetime. He also illustrated many books, primarily for publisher Charles Scribner's Sons, which accelerated his career. Wyeth worked primarily as a realist painter. CONDITION: Good condition overall. Hardcover black boards with full page illustrated front cover, gilt stamped titles to spine, deckled edge. Illustrated pictorial endpapers. All nine full color illustrations are present. Book is clean inside. Scuffs and bumping to boards, scratches to front illustration. 413 pp. Dimensions: 9 1/2" H x 7 1/4" W x 1 1/2" D.

Cloth. Condition: Good. None (illustrator). The uncommon second edition of one of Kingsley's most popular novels. Bound in blue cloth with gilt lettering. Complete in Three Volumes. This particular copy comes from the Worcester Public Library, Reference Department, with a library issue label to the front pastedowns stamped 1904. There is an ink library number to each title page, and ink stamps to the title page and several pages throughout the text. "Kingsley's greatest popular success, the historical novel Westward Ho! (1855), was originally planned as a patriotic anti-Catholic tale about the defeat of the Spanish Armada which he hoped would strike a sympathetic note amid contemporary anxieties about "the Pope and the French invasion", triggered by the restoration of the papal hierarchy in England in 1850 and the aggressive anti-English posturing of Emperor Napoleon III. By the time the novel was finished patriotic feeling had been redirected, as England was fighting Russia in the Crimean War, of which Kingsley was an enthusiastic supporter, but this made the novel seem even more timely" -ODNB. In a publisher's original cloth binding. The bindings are generally tight and firm. The front inner hinge of volume one is slightly strained with the title page and dedication only partially attached. There is only mild wear to the extremities, with just mild rubbing with sunning and labels to the spines. Internally the pages have slight browning and the occasional spot. Good. book.
