Published by Keller-Farmer Co., London, 1907
Seller: Rareeclectic, Pound ridge, NY, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 'Uniform Edition.' 'The Writings of Oscar Wilde.' Illustrated with four full-page b&w drawings, each inset in a square. All four are in excellent condition and are protected by a tissue guard containing a related quote in red print (i.e. " 'Are you mad?' He asked in fright." Or " 'Confess that you are tired of me?' "). I have to confess that I'm having trouble identifying this book in relationship to the others that are for sale. I haven't found a reference to a copy that matches it. There are 556 pages. After the frontispiece ( " 'I order you to go away tomorrow' ") there is a half-title page which identifies Keller-Farmer as the publisher and 1907 as the date of publication. The following title page, light yellow with black and red lettering, also references a copyright in 1907 by A.R. Keller & Co. This book does not appear to be a limited edition. On the spine is printed ' Edition De Luxe '. The top page edge is gilt. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. You can see the gilt lettering and border with the dark green background on the spine in the second photo. There's a little bit of crinkling and rubbing at the spine ends. There is a little handling soiling on the front cover, and that one bit of lipstick or blood (I order you to go away tomorrow) on the rear cover. Parts of the cover edges have a bit of color fade to white. The two bottom corners have a spot of rub-through. The book is pretty square and the spine is pretty straight. The pages are very nicely and solidly bound from cover to cover. Over parts of the juncture between the front inside cover and front end paper the paper has a thin tear and some webbing is showing, same with the rear cover, but over most of it, though the paper is mostly in place. Both covers have a slight bit of give if you pull at them from the side, but are solidly bound. Both white inside covers and endpapers are clean. That's the case with the pages. The only exception to that is the page listing the illustrations which has a speckling of speck-sized brownish spots. It's not actually soiling, rather some minor reaction to the paper I suppose. You can see it to a smaller extent on a few other pages here and there, pretty inconspicuous. There's very little actual soiling and the pages are fairly bright. I just saw something really odd (never saw this before): The name of the publisher can vaguely be seen at the margins of most of the pages in colorless block letters. What an odd thing for a publisher to do. How much would that add to the value of the book? I'll assume nothing. Be clear that this is not something an owner did, this is the way the book was produced. Finishing up, the pages are in very decent condition. I'm not seeing much by way of creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The book has its own Wikipedia profile: 'an 1884 novel, it tells the story of the orphan Allan who falls in love with his protectress, Mme de Scudemot, who has become indifferent due to erotic excesses in her youth; Allan eventually marries his lover's daughter Camille, but has been smitten by the older woman's indifference. The narrative uses techniques from the Gothic novel and its French counterpart, the "roman frénétique". Written between 1833 and 1836, it was the first full-length novel by d'Aurevilly. An English translation published in 1902, was falsely attributed to Oscar Wilde under his pseudonym Sebastian Melmoth. In his 1967 monograph, 'The Novels and Stories of Barbey D'Aurevilly', Brian G. Rogers wrote "Though liberally sprinkled with youthful errors, the novel is the first full-length work to reflect Barbey's enthusiasm for a world completely dominated by passion, and already his treatment of incipient attraction, passionate love and cold disillusion takes on a characteristic flavour. Here, not a single note rings false.".

First Edition
vellum. Condition: Very Good. First edition thus. One of 500 unnumbered copies "for private circulation only, among friends and subscribers". Full vellum line and lettered in black, title on spine and large "O.W." on front cover. Top edge stained red and other edges uncut. Title page printed in red and black. Translated into English by Sebastian Melmoth (pseudonym of Oscar Wilde). This is now considered to be a spurious Wilde piece; the Paris bookseller who printed it, Charles Carrington, apparently invented the Wilde connection in order to spur sales. The four page foreword has Wilde (who had died two years earlier) as its subject. A tight, very good or a bit better example, spine a bit darkened and some very light soilning to the vellum. Carrington's bookshop label is affixed to the rear free endpaper.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. On the colophon it states that this is one of five hundred and odd copies printed in December 1902 at G.J. Thieme, Oriental Printer for Charles Carrington of Paris. On the limitation page, it states that this is one of 440 copies on French hand made paper, there is also a sticker on the title page that states that the translation was made by Sebastian Melmoth (Oscar Wilde). Literary historians agree that Mr. Wilde probably didn't make this translation. The boards are covered with vellum spine and corners with marbled paper of burgundy, blue, grey and orange. The vellum is darkened with age, corners worn to the undersurface, the red morocco leather spine labels are chipped, the paper on the boards is chipped on all edges and scuffed on the surfaces. Hinge is weak at the advertising page, which is in the front. Pencil name 'Walter Biddle Saul' - prominent book collector in Philadelphia. Top edge gilt, other two deckle edges. Index and more ads in the rear, where the hinge is weak again. All orders packed with care, dust jackets protected by Brodart sleeve, independent bookseller since 2011.

A Limited Edition work, of which 440 copies were printed, bound in the publisher's original quarter paper vellum.This new translation, credited to 'Sebastian Melmoth', was spuriously claimed by the publisher to be the work of Oscar Wilde. With its overt homosexual themes - following the exploits of the narrator, Encolpius, and his young slave-boyfriend Giton - the work was esteemed by Wilde, who directly referenced it in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'.A retraction of the claim that this was the work of Wilde was issued by the publisher in 1909.With a two page advertisement to the start of the work, and a further two pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear, recommending privately printed works of a pornographic nature. The final leaf advertises the printer of the work.Numerous clippings referring to the work pasted to front pastedown and front free endpaper, with former owner's inscription to verso of front free endpaper.
