Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Here is " Christopher North, a Memoir of John Wilson" by his daughter, Mrs. Gordon. This is the 1862 First Edition, rebound by a private collector. Published in 2 volumes by Edmonston and Douglas in Edinburgh. Vol. One has a engraved portrait of Wilson as frontispiece. The 1st volume also has 14 more illustrations, mostly sketches of people in Wilson's life. Most of the illustrations were done by John Gibson Lockhart. Other artists who contributed are D. O. Hill (Frontispiece), Nasmyth, A. Christie, and Prof. E. Forbes. John Wilson (1785 - 1854), writing in great part under the pseudonym 'Christopher North', was Scottish author. Poet, essayist, biographer, writer of short stories and many magazine articles , he held the position of Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh from 1820 to 1851. Wilson remembered mostly for the collection of 71 colloquies and essays published under the general title, "Noctes Ambrosianæ". These originally appeared in "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine" from 1822 to 1835, for which John Wilson was the leading contributor, and the main author of "Noctes Ambrosianæ".

The front board and spine panels were preserved as part of the rebind. The rebind is sturdy and quite serviceable, the following particulars noted : Vol. 1 - Spine panel is rubbed and gilt lettering is somewhat effaced being only fairly bright. Gilt picture on front panel is rubbed but fairly bright; Rear cover is considerably rubbed; front and rear end-papers are foxed; the frontispiece is lightly foxed, but the tissue guard is considerably foxed; the text throughout displays a few instances of foxing, as well as scattered small sots and smudges - but nothing egregious; there are a few corner creases; one mistake in page numbering for the list of illustrations has been crossed out and corrected in pencil; I spotted a bit of surface unevenness to the leaves with pp 69 - 72; text-block edges are somewhat darkened and the top edge has a bit of slight staining which can be seen at the top of a few pages; binder's ticket on rear paste-down Vol II - At the top of the title page is penciled the name of the previous owner (Hibbard). The rub to the spine panel is not quite as evident as on Vol I, and the gilt lettering is a bit brighter; the gilt figure on the front panel is fairly bright, but still rubbed, and there is a short abrasion mark near the upper left corner; a few leaves near the front of the book (through to p. 14)interior is similar to Vol. I; text-block edges are, likewise darkened, but no staining. All and all a nice set of the 1862 First Edition, with no underlining, or marginalia - solidly rebound and ready to be read again. John Gibson Lockhart, D. O. Hill, et al (illustrator).…
