Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. WORKS OF LAURENCE STERNE 4 VOLUMES LIFE OF THE AUTHOR PLUS HIS MAJOR WORKS 1873. I am pleased to be able to offer an early four volume set of: The Works of Laurence Sterne. This set of medium-sized books (6 x 9 inches) was published by Bickers and Son of London, dated 1873 (perhaps the First Edition thus?) and were edited by James P. Browne. Volume I includes a 40 pages Preface by the editor, a short Memoirs of the Life and Family of the Late Rev. Laurence Sterne (written by himself), and then contains his classic work: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. Volume II completes the aforementioned work and presents the first portion of his other well-known work: A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy. Volume III presents the first 32 of his Sermons while Volume IV presents the final 13 of those Sermons, and also includes as the final section of the set: The Letters of Laurence Sterne to His Most Intimate Friends, of which there are 132 Letters. These books are bound in dark green cloth with black leather spines with gilt lettering on them. The top edge of each volume is gilt. Condition: These four books are in very good condition. There is some rubbing to the leather quarter spines, particularly at the gutters. The spine tips are also worn and frayed, some worse than the others. The green cloth covers, however, are generally clean, presentable and still attractive. Amazingly, there are very few blemishes within these books. Volume I has some bookseller s penciled annotations front and back, and some light foxing at the top of the hinge, something seen in the other volumes as well but even less pronounced. Volume II has an insect attack in the rear hinge, which is otherwise intact, as are all the other hinges in this set. The interior pages are generally clean and bright, without any real age-toning or foxing! The bindings are tight and sound in all four volumes. This set is not ex-library or a remainder.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Stothard, Thomas (illustrator). 1st Thus. Complete in two volumes. 1st thus (the Browne edited text of Sterne's works, with illustrations by Thomas Stothard, was first published, in four volumes, by Bickers and Son in 1873; it was re-issued, again in four volumes, by Bickers and Son in 1885). This is first time it was issued in two volumes (with renumbered pages. Volume 1: [5], x-xliii, 646pp, tissued-guarded frontispiece and three further like illustrations. Volume II: [4] 670pp, with six tissued-guarded illustrations. Uniformly bound in illustrated brown trade cloth with gilt lettering to front and spine. Black endpapers. Title pages in red and black. The boards are a little rubbed and rounded on corners and spine ends, with minor fraying at spine tips, and a few insignificant marks. The front endpapers in both volumes show signs of a bookplate having been removed. While the text block edges are a little browned, internally the volumes are neat, clean and bright barring some very occasional light spotting; and they remain tight and firm in their binding. This two volume set is not referenced in bibliographical sources for Sterne, which feature only Bickers' four volume set of the same year. Only one other copy traceable - that held by Penn Libraries, at the University of Pennsylvania - which came from the collection of a renown Sterne collector, Geoffrey Day which the Library purchased in 2018.
